Not Dark Yet by Perito Moreno EDP Perfume Limited Edition

Perito Moreno’s eau de parfum ‘Not Dark Yet’ is yet another elegant fragrance by the top honcho in perfumery, Dixit Artisan. It is in essence a tribute to the acclaimed entity of Bob, with its every element, touching notes of an aromatized ballad. 

The opening top notes are a triad with the root formed by : ‘Cardamom’, a honeyed and intense spice, paralleling Bob’s dynamic, musical universe – ingress. ‘Fennel Seed’, which ushers in a soft, anise-like feature reflects his singularly avant-garde style. ‘Ginger’ with its probing eusiveness triggers a change, akin to Bob’s rapid disruptive reverberations in music and culture. The note is augmented with ‘Cinnamon Leaf, Indian Olibanum, Black Pepper and Pink Pepper, creating a spicy symphony, with each of the additions bringing in the intricacy and lavishness of Bob’s musical phases. 

Progressing on to the mid notes, ‘Star Anise’ spills a licorice-like sugariness, embodying the sweetness of Bob’s golden-era triumph. There is ‘Caramel’ oering a buttery, sublime satiation, suggesting the ease in the rather popular accomplishments of the musical legend. The introduction of the woody, earthy essence of ‘ Cinnamon Bark’, harks us back to Bob’s origins in the folk music genre. The middle notes are summed up with the warm and slightly honeyed ‘Clove Leaf’ and ‘Nutmeg’ personifying the wistful and pensive motifs of Bob’s later feats. 

A deep, firm ground is created for the fragrance by the base notes : Bob’s concrete, everlasting bequest is equated by the robust and earthy ‘Cedarwood’. His earnestly rich voice has its match in the complex ‘focalized amber’ note, that adds a resinous, warm and slightly exotic fragrance. ‘Musk’ gives that sensual flair, like Bob’s emotive voicing does, while ‘Tonka Bean Absolute’ renders a touch of vanilla sweetness, mixed with acerbity, like his sweet sadness. The ‘Tobacco Leaf’ and ‘Tobacco Flower’ imbue a smoky, full bloomed whi, approving of the slow-burning vigour of Bob’s acts. In the end, the ‘Dark Chocolate’ is the ultimate bitter-sweet note that stays, reminding one of the withstanding and arousing contributions of Bob’s to music and culture. 

Dixit the artisan’s wizardry nuancedly balances the constituents, chosen for their genuine features and sourced from their finest origins. He ensures that the fragrance wafts quietly, much like the seamless anecdote of Bob’s journey. Notes need to be blended intricately, which is nothing short of an art form, demanding accuracy and ingenuity in creating a harmonious and vivid perfume profile. ‘Not Dark Yet’ is more than your ‘eau de parfum’, it’s a tale of the senses, narrated citing an exemplary life. It has been crafted by an artist, a raconteur, who knows his perfumery like none other.
