"Nikolay carries a tender-hearted veil of melancholy that hangs unstable and somber upon his soul like clouds continually gathering and bursting, but this also makes an outpouring possible of everything that is unique and valuable in his creativity. The wisdom of his melancholy lies in the understanding the echoes of his own grief. He reveals his inmost feelings only to those who are able to understand that loneliness is universal and it belongs to humanity in general. Nikolay yearns for a deeper, richer relationship with the world and in doing so he explores his own potentials – something he might not have explored without touching the most vulnerable and fragile parts of his soul.Only with accepting the ebony and ivory on his piano he can see the world in colors of emotion with the full presence of his carving depths. This leads him to a possibility to extract the profound as an invaluable treasure. This is however a heavy burden only the strongest and enlightened souls can carry.Melancholy opens with light and sweet but at the same time a little nutty, a bit bitter and herbal odor, which is, together with saffron, tenderly supporting the strongly perceptible frankincense note. And still the opening is also somehow waxy. This must be the influence of quite a strong and earthy, subtly sweet and almost musky scent of palmarosa grass.I can’t smell any iris or violet. The connection of mentioned palmarosa and accompanied ylang-ylang is now to narcotic. The upcoming patchouli note makes everything even more intoxicating. This moment is lately enriched with a beautiful smell of freshly cut timber and just a hint of sweetly greenish aura.After many hours Nikolay’s creation becomes subtle, soothing sweet and balsamic-resinous with a very delicate floral note arising. But the woody, earthy and quite lingering churchy odor remains highly noticeable. It’s important to mention that with every passed minute a deep, comforting and warm note of tobacco is slowly taking over. Nikolay was again most successful in a really great manner with unfolding something that is filled with sweet melancholy.The beautiful bitter-sweet symphony of Melancholy layered with strength of his creator makes this fragrance a masterpiece that is hard to resist." - a note from the brand.
