A beautiful review by followtheraven Azman Perfume’s ‘I Am Darkness’ – Because Who Doesn’t Want to Smell Like a Gothic Cathedral After a Séance? If Edgar Allan Poe and a Balinese priest had a baby—and that baby grew up to be a perfumer—it would probably create something like I Am Darkness. Azman Perfumes, known for their ability to bottle existential crises and spiritual awakenings, have outdone themselves with this latest release. Yes, ‘I Am Darkness’ is the name, and no, it doesn’t come with a black velvet cloak, but it really should. Upon first spritz, you’re greeted with a citrusy slap from bergamot and grapefruit. But don’t get too comfortable—this is not your cheery brunch mimosa moment. It’s the kind of citrus that says, “I’m bright… but brooding.” Like a poet in sunglasses. Indoors. At night. Then comes the pepper. Oh, the pepper. Fiery enough to suggest you’re about to make some regrettable life choices, but balanced with a mysterious oud that whispers “You’re safe. Probably.” And let’s not forget the incense—this isn’t your yoga studio variety. This is incense that spent a semester in Prague writing sad poetry and contemplating mortality. Midway through, a bloom of frangipani and jasmine floats in, as if to remind you that yes, even vampires can appreciate a good floral moment. The coffee note, meanwhile, lurks in the background like a melancholic barista who’s secretly in love with you. And the base? Amyris, oakmoss, and labdanum hold down the fort like a forest shaman on anti-anxiety meds. Frankincense does what frankincense does best—haunts your soul gently—and the entire composition dries down into something that smells like the library in an abandoned monastery. Comforting, yes, but only if you find your comfort in ancient scrolls and softly burning incense braziers. Continue in comments section…

Nocturnal Immortal is not just a fragrance; it is an exquisite ode to contrasts, a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, brightness and depth. It opens with a luminous prelude—an invigorating blend of orange bitter oil and mandarin oil, their zest enhanced by the herbal sophistication of rosemary. This sparkling introduction is an invitation, a fleeting moment of vibrancy that draws you into a deeper, more profound experience. At its heart lies the true essence of Nocturnal Immortal. Juniper berry oil weaves a green, resinous intrigue, while the golden richness of immortelle absolute commands attention with its honeyed warmth and everlasting allure. Fir balsam absolute adds a touch of smoky, balsamic depth, while lavandin grosso lends its aromatic clarity, ensuring a perfectly balanced midsection. This heart beats with timeless sophistication, a melody that resonates with those who appreciate complexity and nuance in a fragrance. As the fragrance reaches its crescendo, the base unveils itself with mesmerizing intensity. The opulent oud forms the cornerstone of this creation, exuding its signature resinous depth. Haitian vetiver oil contributes an earthy smokiness, grounding the composition with a natural elegance. Cistus Labdanum amplifies the balsamic richness, while hay absolute lends an unexpected, slightly sweet herbaceousness. Together, these elements create a velvety, textured dry-down that wraps the wearer in an aura of mystique and timeless beauty. Nocturnal Immortal is a fragrance of dualities, light and dark, vibrancy and warmth, energy and calm. It evolves gracefully on the skin, revealing layer after layer of its intricate design. It is a nocturnal serenade, a reflection of timeless artistry that resonates long after the first encounter. This creation stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of Azman House of Perfume, a fragrance that lingers not only on the skin but in the memory.
