Description
Fragrances are the key to our memories, but also to our dreams.
Anyone who has ever located with closed eyes in the soft, mossy-woolly grass and deeply inhaled the smell of freshly mown grass, who knows what a huge force can indwell such a fragrance.
Dreaming very close to nature, this feel, breathe, touch, taste and groping explore with nose, mouth and hands, feel at one with the elements.
The vastness of the African Serengeti, the endless grasslands of the tundra or the fascination of the Mongolian steppe – all that lies in every still so inconspicuous grass, no matter where in the world it grows.
The nose behind this fragrance is Arturetto Landi.

Question: I know that is theoretically unisex. But it seems that the people I met wearing it are 99% male. Is it more for males? I love it and I would like to buy one, but I wouldn’t like to smell like a man

Rhubarb immediately—delicious and sour. But then… what’s that? Something so familiar… a little plasticky, almost, but not synthetic… is it…. Play-Doh?? !! Yes !!
Maybe it’s just how this interacts on my skin, but that’s the impression that the almost almond-like heliotrope gives off, its sweetness boosted just a bit from the rhubarb, a little deep from the incense. Play-Doh.
I’m sorta into it, but can’t get over that association. I think it might be a little too powdery for me in the end, which skews the scent a bit to the femme side of unisex. But I’ll give the sample another try in a few months once the weather shifts. Not entirely inappropriate for this cool, overcast June day, but not quite right either.
Seems to project quite intensely, as a coworker said she could smell it as I walked in, and lasted for maybe 4 hours before settling down as a skin scent.

This is powdery, fruity and a bit sharp/tart in the opening. It is ALL about the rhubarb. It smells almost like a cherry cough drop. Then it gets more sour, bitter, balsamic and herbal in the middle. It is ALL about the pink pepper! Fruit and pepper with some powder. In the base It is a lovely, slightly sweet, slightly tart powder that has NO amber that usually powders it in the base. No iris or violet. This is terrific.

Identical to Black Afghano.

My sample just arrived a while ago and i’m wearing this now, even though the sprayer cap was loose and i ended up dropping all the juice on the floor but luckily there is still enough left for two test drives in my 3 ml sample !
It starts nice with a “wet” rhubarb note mixed with semi sweet smoke, but then after an hour, there is a bitter nutty accord that i do not like at all. It’s almost like a sharp/cold hazelnut accord that smells incomplete and without character, as if something is missing.
I prefer the Frankincense-heavy older sibling Apr 3 1968 over this.
But to be fair, i’ll give it another test tomorrow.

We got a real black afghano clone. I got to be honest, I like this better not to mention you get 20 more ml for $35 less ..
I got black afghano on my right hand and 1966 on the other and they are very very close but have their differences. BA is a little more heavy and 66 seems to have a light more leathery feel to it. Both have monster longevity. It’s really a close match. So close now that I have them side by side I think I like them both about the same.
It’s worth a sample but if you own one already I’d pass. The only thing I don’t like about 1966 is the bottle, I feel like it’s going to tip over and break…

This is a rich and comforting fragrance. I find it to be complex, and the notes blend in a way that creates a warm, mouthwatering creation. I actually thought that there is amber in it, although amber isn’t listed.
The combination of the different notes also gives this a nutty, leathery and smokey aroma and somehow reminds me of walking past Guava trees in a warm day. The Oud note in this is refined, elegant and inoffensive. To me this is like an imaginary bonfire of chestnuts, flowers and unripened fruits. Delicious and luxurious
