Eau Dada

An old bottle and a handwritten letter appear in a box from the past, and the text within claims that the eighth Dadaist manifesto has been found. SANTI BURGAS Eau Dada smells like a document that the cultural establishment would rather declare a fake.

Orange blossom and Spanish saffron open the perfume bright, warm, and slightly leathery. The blossom brings a familiar honeyed softness, while saffron immediately introduces a dry, provocative cut.

Labdanum, tonka, and Indonesian patchouli create a resinous, earthy heart. Bourbon vanilla adds sweetness, but incense keeps it smoky enough so the perfume doesn't become a comforting adornment.

Rosendo Mateu and Santi Burgas find inspiration in Dadaism, a movement that provoked, questioned, and attacked established rules at the beginning of the 20th century. Tristan Tzara published seven manifestos; this perfume invents the missing one.

Oud from Trai Pratchin later deepens the patchouli and resins. The orange blossom becomes darker, the vanilla warmer, and the saffron remains as a golden thread through the smoky base.

Eau Dada is not a retro oriental perfume with an artistic name. It is the eighth manifesto written with orange blossom, saffron, incense, and oud — convincing enough to make you want to check if Tzara really hid it.
