When I smelled for the first time the absolute extract of Rum, I have been amazed by the tremendous power of this aroma. One drop in a room is enough to give the impression that a whole barrel of rum was spilled around.
With the essences of Tobacco, Coffee and Chocolate I decided to compose a perfume that would have for theme the isle of Cuba.
The fragrance was composed around these 4 base aromas, blended with essences of fruits and exotic spices.
The perfume that materialized from this inspiration was like an instant immersion in the atmosphere of Cuba and its name came to me evident; “Cuba Express” just like an immediate travel in the Isle of the Revolution.
Als ich das erste Mal die Solventextrakt-Essenz des Rums roch, war ich erstaunt über die enorme Stärke dieses Aromas. Ein Tropfen in einem Raum genügt, um den Eindruck zu erwecken, ein ganzes Faß Rum sei verschüttet worden.
Ich entschoss mich dann zusammen mit den Essenzen von Tabak, Kaffee und Schokolade, ein Parfüm zu gestalten, das die Insel Kuba zum Thema haben sollte, und es wurde um diese vier grundlegenden Aromen herum, mit Einblendung von Essenzen exotischer Früchten und Gewürze geschaffen.
Die Duftnote, die sich aus dieser Inspiration materialisierte war wie ein plötzliches Eintauchen in das kubanische Milieu, und ihr Name wurde mir auf der Stelle klar – “Kuba-Express” – sofortige Beförderung zu der Insel der Revolution.
Tobacco and bay rum, does that ring a bell ? Well, before all Aramis Havana widowers (of which I am one) jump up in mad excitement, let me tell you that this is different. Here, the accent in “bay rum” is on “rum” rather than “bay”: the fragrance is incredibly boozy, and indeed the house deion talks about a whole barrel of rum being spilled around. The result is surprisingly elegant however, in my opinion, something – I don’t know what – is lacking for Cuba Express to elevate itself to Havana heights. It’s not as addictive or compelling. But again, worth trying (I prefer Chilum though).
