Bogue Profumo MAAI Extrait de Parfum

$34900
Size

Maai is a stunning accomplishment, marrying the very best of sophisticated old-school chypre glamour and bold animalics with a refined elegance and smoothness. It opens with an incredible burst of verdant moss, fused with roses, jasmine, and green tuberose, sprinkled with a transparent veil of golden, glittering aldehydes. The plush bouquet is mesmerising in its depth, and harkens back to a time before IFRA/EU regulations – it is truly heart-stopping when combined with animalic elements. Musky, leathered, and skanky, they cast a mighty roar that transforms the delicate swirl of florals into something with a bolder, more unisex touch. As Maai unfolds, balsamic resins awaken in the base to add subtle streaks of smokiness and honeyed sweetness. The amber note slowly turns the whole fragrance deeper, richer, and softer, coating the musky leather in its warmth, taming its cry. In its drydown, Maai transforms into golden velvet with a smooth, plush mix of amber, musk, and oakmoss.

EDITOR'S NOTES

Maai belongs to a grand tradition of high perfumery, rich and long with opulent natural materials harmonised spectacularly. Dissecting the work is no easy task - which is a testament to the meticulous blending of perfumer Antonio Gardoni. Here he has crafted a total composition, identifiable as both a composite of parts and a singular unified whole. Its sophistication is due to many features, most notably its ability to contain such bigness within a chypre frame, allowing powerful and exuberant floral notes to radiate gloriously. Indeed, Maai embraces this with a forcefield made of textured leathery flowers and animalic ones, moving with a gorgeous frenetic intensity intensified by the shine of aldehydes. It is gold wrapped up in thick smoke and sylvan mist, retaining its luminous veil. Filling every space are unctuous lashings of fatty aldehydes and bitter oakmoss; any shadows that remain metamorphose to become a dry growl made of leather, animal, and resin. The many tonal accentuations in Maai create a floral chypre that feels like a potent balm of pure floral scent - the sharp green of tuberose both dives and takes flight, working amongst a curvaceous body of jasmine and rose, tweaked with the saturating touch of ylang-ylang. Layer upon layer, to wear Maai is to experience its many shifts and rearrangements - it is unquestionably symphonic, and reaches a magnitude that is nowadays a rare achievement in modern perfumery.
