oooppo – :
Torre of Tuscany is an italian niche brand run by the same people responsible of I Profumi Del Forte (an incredibly solid line of fragrances composed by a bunch of the most popular perfumers around including Bertrand Duchafour and Arturetto Landi among others). Berkana, apparently named after one of Odin’s 25 Sacred Runes, is composed by Maria Candida Gentile and strikes as an interesting chypre.
It opens incredibly green and kinda fresh with undefined herbaceous notes to quickly evolve into one of the most minimalistic birch-tar driven mid phases I’ve experienced in times. Leathery, smoky and austere with an overall dusty quality. Vetiver makes its appearance during the drydown and together with cedarwood reinforces the general bone-dry vein.
Probably not as challenging as I expected when I first read the notes yet incredibly interesting if you’re into minimalistic and unconventional woody fragrances. Could make one hell of a Comme Des Garcons. Let’s say Monocle Scent 3: Berkana.
