The year 2018 gave us Hydromancy Sixteen92. A unisex fragrance from the green, floral, mineral, and water families. A fragrance from the Forbidden Arts collection, in perfume extract.
Produced in the United States, and you can feel it in every note. Hydromancy Sixteen92 — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Hydromancy is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Sixteen92 comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract supports the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Ambery, Mineral, Wood and Floral. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Earthy / Mossy, Green and Aquatic. From a family perspective the scent maps to Floral, Green, Mineral and Water.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a ozonic-salty mood: Ambroxan, Aquatic accord, Lichen, Minerals, Petrichor, Rainwater and Violet.
The heart and base are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aquatic, Floral, Wood and Amber with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Mineral expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Overall Hydromancy sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
