@Adam Coburn: Please enlighten me - how is C&P a "180" from previous perfumes, which were musk and sandal, rose, jasmine and then some supporting essential oils?
Apart from a dose of Blue Lotus, I honestly do not smell much that differs from EO No.1, No.2 and Tigerlust. All of these are variations of the same theme. You might think of them as cousins, or grandparents and grandchildren...Naturally so, since the base is oud, sandal and musk (in EO No. 1, sandal and civet). And they all have the supporting florals, jasmine, rose - and then some.
Believe me, I would love to see that Ensar creates a perfume that justifies the description "complete 180 from the other compositions ".
In German, we have the term "verschlimmbessern". It means making something worse by trying to improve it.
I have myself tried to make my own composition using oils I bought from Ensar and others. I tried to come with my personal perfume, just for my personal use.
And I know how easily that what is to become a really nice perfume can be ruined by adding only a few drops of this or that ingredient. I know because I "verschlimmbessert" my own creation.
And that was what I thought after the first three or four wears of C&P: that Ensar tried to come up with something so unique he - inadvertently - "verschlimmbesssert" it in the process.
I surely see he tried his best. But the end result is less than what he envisioned (or so I believe).
