Dark Rum Eau de Toilette synthesizes notes to create a warm, innate sense of well being. Bergamot is a bright spark at the top of this scent, like a twist of lime slowly sinking down into the sepia sugar fathoms of five fingers of rum. As the citrus creates a stark contrast from within the spirit, a plummy sweetness is born, and all the ripe, purple-hued gush of plum rushes forth on each waft of this scent. Slowly, a bitter, more weathered underside to this energetic fruity effect emerges. Leather is soft (perhaps soothed by the intoxicatingly suave liquid it embellishes) but it is also undeniably strong and slightly bitter. Amber heightens this contrast, adding a saline dimension which keeps this rum refreshing and us thirsty for more. Patchouli’s amorphous smoke sweetly wafts off of rum, like a mysteriously unwitnessed, doused fire. Milk softens the acidity herein and allows us to the enjoy the lushest facets of this scent reflected through another medium. Modern and dynamic, this formidable, long-lasting scent performs on its own or layered with another Malin + Goetz fragrance, creating a unique blend tailored to each individual. A 12 percent eau de toilette. (bergamot, plum, rum, leather, amber, patchouli, milk)
