A fragrance about melancholy, inspired by the deep Slavic soul.
Lovage, an uncommon ingredient in perfumery, combined with absinth, Roman chamomile, barley extract, frankincense, myrrh and sensuous musk notes create a raw yet tender, deep elegance.
100 ml Eau de Toilette Concentrée Natural Spray (20% perfume oil) Skarb was launched in 2009.
I stopped caring about marketing strategies when it comes to fragrance. I've heard Skarb is supposed to be a composition about melancholy and tears and I honestly couldn't care less. Skarb is quite good.
Skarb strikes a an edulcorated and more wearable (sort of prototype) version of Byredo's M/Mink which in this case is good news for me. A strong and extremely bitter/dry incense note joined by woods and a remarkable herbaceous presence (myrtle/hay) that adds some pungency. Chamomille provides a slight dose of sweetness to balance the general harshness while hints of aquatic notes refine this composition with an odd, but pleasant, touch. Overall I'd rank Skarb as a slightly weird woody/incense composition that is surely far from being an easy wear or a masterpiece but, at the same time, it isn't as scary or disgusting as they want us to believe.
On a once-in-a-while rotational roster.
Rating: 7/10
Quite unusual opening of Skarb makes it interesting only first 15 minutes. Then it becomes a simple woody-musky fragrance that has much similarities (IMHO) with Aramis Cool. It's not worthy its price.
Strange scent...I like it but there is an odd metallic edge that ultimately keeps me from loving it. None of the notes stand out (although I'm not sure I would recognize some of them), and I kind of wish the myrrh was stronger....but it is what it is. I would call it unisex leaning toward masculine. Not quite a bottle purchase for me but intriguing anyway.
Friend of mine loves it wear it and completely agrees with the description. Since this is not my kind of scent I'll take his word for it and vote yes. Sometimes if you don't like the scent it doesn't mean it is bad it just not be your thing and this is one of those. Humiecki & Graef
are one of those scents that you can not trust reviews; to my experience people have most contrasting reactions to these scents.
