Composed by David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi
Credit card, holy water, and dirty money sound like evidence left after a very strange confession. TOSKOVAT' Anarchist A_ builds a scent from them that speaks of coldness, buying forgiveness, and promises that come with a bill.
Snow, whiskey, and dirty dollars set the scene. The cold, almost colorless impression of snow clashes with the alcoholic warmth, while the paper of money and ink leave a dry, industrial trace.
Candle wax and green sacra resin lead the composition towards a church setting, but the holy water and old confessional accord do not feel serene. Along with the scent of the priest's clothes, you get dust, fabric, wood, and an institution much older than the person entering it.
David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi writes about hypocrisy, a society that sells love, faith, forgiveness, and dreams, and people who want to buy everything. The perfume does not translate this idea into classic notes, but into objects and places that carry their own moral weight.
Towards the end, the plastic of a bag appears, cold and unpleasant alongside the wax and resin. The whiskey subsides, but the ink, fabric, and artificial material remain like the smell in coat pockets after a long wait in the snow.
This is not incense for meditation. Anarchist A_ leaves holy water over credit cards, ink, and plastic — a confession of a society that first set the price of forgiveness.
