Centauri Perfumes Dendera Fragrance Review and Score By: FragranceView Peter Carter

Egyptian Dust: A New Accord? Orris: I have never smelled anything like this. It is unworldly. Something so unfamiliar yet alluring. This is just like staring at something you can’t look away from, but here I can’t stop smelling and trying to make sense of how this exists. This is like no orris I have smelled in anything. It’s funny how facets get overlooked only to become treasures for the hunter later. Nothing sweet or powdery about it. I smell plaster of Paris smeared on sheet metal with a deep, rooty, earthy dry brown dirt smell. Smells like dry ice is coming up from it as well. Not wet but dry ice. Not a tidbit of powder. Iris has a powdery, older feel and can also smell like damp cement, or like a sidewalk does after a thunderstorm. There’s actually a word for this: petrichor, the smell of the earth after a rainstorm, and it’s one of the things iris does best in a perfume. Oud This is one of the first facets of oud that I fell in love with. A biting, sharp medicinal and great earth with slight woods. Very aromatic. If this is truly an oud he can keep getting, what a treasure to find something this decent at this price. More importantly, the Ensar oud that was going to be used (and it could've been what he switched it out to) achieved what he was going for, and it would have been a shame to upcharge. This is what I always stress about oud: find the facet you want to highlight, and it makes compositions magical. The drydown facet makes so much sense to me now. I literally was going through my synthetics trying to match what he did, and couldn’t. This is why. A couple guys have taken aim, calling Peter’s Dendera a good first attempt. I don’t name names, but they are wrong. I would venture to say I put my nose on more natural accords than any reviewer out there. A perfumer would beat me. Luca and Tina would beat me, but that’s about it. And I’m going to say that this is genius. To achieve this base naturally is one hard feat. Big brands, if you are listening to me (and some have started to), you need to be talking to Peter quickly. He can do a lot to change the game for a lot of stuff out there. Doing this with IFRA constraints is flat-out amazing. If the cinnamon note is truly the only thing holding this back from being all natural, just replace it and sell this through the United States. All the UK people figure out how to get the naughty stuff anyways. Everyone, mark this down. My reputation is on the line, but I’m saying again: this accord naturally is flat-out genius. It is Tauer-esque, but the difference is this is all natural. It is a very difficult thing to achieve that I have only seen a few do. A very, very, very small few. But to do it with his resources is something else. I see Peter getting hired by brands to help build these formulas for their house. It is a change that is needed. There is so much detail in this, it’s incredible. I am floored by the base accord of this perfume. We will break it down a bit in the review, but for now, I just put it out there: this is the stuff brands are built off of. Moving on. Fragrance in My Opinion Compared to Perfume’s Notes This opens exactly how it says in the notes. I want to smell this with natural cinnamon, of course, but respect the perfumer’s choice to stay in his home country and be constrained by its regulations. Moving on quickly. Lucky for me, the cinnamon dissipates into the blend very quickly, and the spicy air turns into dusty orris and ambergris and myrhh, like leaving the bustle of the city for a desert adventure to the pyramids. This thing gets dry and dusty like no other. The more I wear it, the more I crave it. The heart gets super earthy with a deep root scent that has the dry-ice, plaster-of-paris-on-sheet-metal effect. The Dry Down. I wore this to a workout, and that dry and dusty quality gets turned into mean, rugged brown leather. It’s the oud. I am so familiar with this and have over ten videos on this affect. It was my biggest fragrance journey surprise I had last year. This is the earth giving our bodies what they need. Oud is such a powerful substance, and this thing is loaded. Okay, it’s way more than oud. This thing has top-notch ambergris in it, too, really good ambergris that provides a slight animalic oceanic quality. It is a star component that, if you weren’t familiar with, you wouldn’t even know it was there. The base somehow smells like a baker has come out and put on the silkiest vanilla glaze over all the other notes. The kind you want way more of. At times I think I do want more vanilla in this, but then sit back and think, Do I? I might get annoyed by it, after all, it’s this earthy, dry ocean grass dust that keeps me coming back. Underneath the icing, we get an incense that is aided by the oud’s drydown. There are three full transitions. Overall, it is an earthy, dry ocean grass fume of dust that surrounds the wearer, and you get a unique scent that can’t be experienced anywhere else.
