Description
ILLUSTRATED SERIES
Olfactive inspiration:
Botanical illustrations, powerful natural essences and extraordinary molecules.
The starting point of illustrated series is not a narrative or memory to be translated into each fragrance. The creative process itself becomes the lead. Oliver leaves out any preconceived idea on the results and focuses on the elements of the olfactive inspiration of the series. The idea is modifying, exploring with no creative bounds, giving a new identity to natural ingredients, within an abstract process, which can start on a natural essence, a botanical illustration, or the smell of a molecule.
Graphics:
Each fragrance includes an illustration created by Spanish artist Jose Manuel Hortelano.Hortelano interprets Oliver’s olfactive fantasies through an image for every fragrance: pieces of visual, olfactory and emotional memories. From his fascination for laboratory instrumental to the synthetic smells and the innocence of wild flowers.

Has the same crisp staleness (though not the actual smell) of a cigarette butt that got rained on and then dried in the sun. Hard pass

I absolutely love this stuff as a super fresh, aquatic take on incense. I definitely get that typical aquatic note (calone? I don’t pretend to know for sure), which in most other fragrances I would hate, but I love how it combines with frankincense here and makes it oddly beachy. It somehow smells like salty air, cold water, and like you brought frankincense nuggets to the beach with you in a little container. You remove the lid, and their fragrant vapors are being released as they bake next to you under the sun.
I get some nice woods here right from the start, which I am assuming is thuja. It’s very fresh and beautiful and brings an aromatic green quality. I notice bay if I sniff my wrists up-close. I have worn Gincense a few times, but I really don’t detect any ginger.
It’s simultaneously relaxing and refreshing.
Excellent blind-buy! I love almost everything from Oliver & Co.

A pungent and aquatic incense,almost floral. The ginger flower here is very highlighted with the incense are the notes that I perceive more…. in the background emerge like a sweet breeze hints of violet leaves and lily of the valley. It is a spiritual unusual and very evocative parfum, and I am very surprised and happy to have tried it. The sillage is strong and the longevity is very good.
Sillage: 7.5/10
Longevity: 8./10
Scent: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.5/10

I thought it would be a very spicy and fresh ginger scent. But it turns out that the musky scent is the most obvious, the ginger makes the scent a little bit fresh and lighter and tasty as well. It is a warn green but also has a incense smoking scent. And I also smell the earth, fresh wet earth. This perfume is complicated to me cuz it reminds me so many things and a very interesting thing that It smelled also like a man who smokes a lot. the men who smoke a lot sometimes I can smell the similar scent like Gincense
