I get oud, balsam , earthy turf smell. It’s quite nice but will be giving it a skip at the price

As a lover of Peru balm, ladandum and damned near everything in this perfume it’s unsurprising that I’m pretty smitten with it. It’s as precious and of the most exquisite quality but like tolu, peru etc…it sits very low and quiet on the skin. The opening is actually quite difficult to detect at first, there’s no noxious ‘wowing!’ ploom of niche gas coming off this, Ignes going on more like a dry amber or one of those escentric molecules, ISO frags bearly there at all. Then it builds to a gorgeous woody, resinous and subtlety beautiful scent. It is largely Peru balm and labdanum but there’s perhaps some patchouli and maybe some sandalwood in there too?
The one note that is beyond question is tobacco. Now just to restate…not only am I an authority on resins but I’m a keen cigar smoker and this is the most accurate and carefully nuanced smell of a cigar wrapper I’ve ever smelled. Pure peru balm doesn’t have this quality so I’m deducing it’s another ingredient or the interaction that is creating this effect. The humidor note doesn’t last however, existing between the opening few minutes and then gone by the 1/2 hour mark but a really lovely and naturally earthy, spicy smell.
I love this scent. It retreats low but that is the nature of this kind of scent and I think if I had a full bottle and slapped a load on it would perform better. How about that bottle too? Ignes would look cool on my shelf.

A very Oudh-like opening with smoky Peru-balsam and a spicy wood chord.
When Ignes settles down and the impression of Oudh fades away it evolves to a dry woody tobacco, still with some softly smoky Peru and spices in the background.
I get some kind of campfire vibes from Ignes which to my mind makes it interesting for dark autumn and winter nights.

A smoky woody blend with focus on spicy tobacco set in a company of chocolatey patchouli, creamy smoky Peru and spicy earthy vetiver. The romantic concept behind the perfume is the ambiance of the nocturnal rite of Faugni taking place before the winter solstice in Atri (the perfumers’ home town).
