No. 6 Brume Radieuse
Thomas Kosmala (2018)

What an interesting fragrance this is. There is oud in here and a bit of the animalic muskiness that is present in Kosmala's Bukhoor, but that is much more of a pure wood chip oud whereas Brume Radieuse is a complex tapestry and well balanced blended perfume. The opening of peach, coconut and black currant gives a raspy but warm dry soft fruited tone while the jasmine adds a bit of lyrical mystery. The opening is rich and fruity while the dryness folds nicely into the oud wood base for a warm civilized leather aroma. Is it a cultured nicely finished leather, or is it a complex wood oud resin colorful paisley printed incense tapestry? This is a hard to define fragrance that is simply very nice to smell. Not overly feminine or masculine - I could see how this could be a favorite for anyone who enjoys rich oud oriented scents but wants to avoid harshness. I rate this 4 of 5 stars - an excellent all around mysterious but smooth blended oud leathery scent.
