Fumidus by Profumum

*****
Year: 1996

Notes: essence of distilled scotch, smoked birch, vetiver
Fumidus literally puts Tauer Perfumes' Lonestar Memories to shame, with a pungent and earthy vetiver accord that's coupled with what smells like an accidentally tipped vat of birch tar. While it's challenging, it's not a very practical or wearable fragrance by any stretch of the imagination (especially with the addition of a very evident and yet stale distilled scotch note).

It's also been mentioned that the composition is, by and large, aged Javanese vetiver essential oil diluted with alcohol (whether it's the perfumer's variety or something more nefarious is rather difficult to tell). So, not only is it unwearable but the criminally high mark-up makes its retail price completely unjustifiable.
