Fire
Madini

I really don't know what to make of this one. Is this just another “creatively” labeled fragrance? Do I have selective anosmia? Did they send the wrong sample? Does my skin eat fire? From what I smell, this fragrance could realistically be labeled “fire” only in some sort of reverse universe. The website blurb about Fire says, “The powerful fire of precious woods and spices, cooled off with lavender and soothing herbs…” I get no fire at all – not even a spark. I get a rather tame, unspicy, possibly wood, probably lavender opening accord that pretty much linearly stays that way for the entire long, long run of the fragrance. Dull and monotonous, I'd rather spend five or six hours smelling ketchup.
