卡斯托尔红
这款调香始于我敲定 皮革香调中效果很好后。从一开始，我就想打造一款陈旧而深沉的皮革玫瑰香。
了解到这种组合在 丝绸玫瑰，我以突尼斯、保加利亚、摩洛哥和土耳其玫瑰为核心，围绕皮革香调构建出平衡的香气。随着时间推移，我开始加入一些增添深色调的元素：黑色龙涎香带来深沉的膏香、矿物气息和一丝粉感；零陵香豆则带来类似糖蜜的气息。我用的那种带有一丝红色水果皮革的气息，酸甜而不腻。
接着，我加入越南沉香，取其深沉的皮革气息。从另一端入手，我希望加强零陵香豆中的红色调。于是加入覆盆子，为玫瑰核心调带来一抹馥郁的过渡。之后，我交给时间去酝酿，只做了些微调整。
玫瑰？有。红色水果？有。深沉基调？有。皮革？有一点。
你看，我用来开启这款调香的皮革香调很醇厚，但渐渐开始被掩盖了。朝这个方向尝试了几周后，我放慢了调整的步伐。不知怎的，我陷入了瓶颈。
然后有一天下午，我闻到一股浓烈的海狸香气息，尽管眼前根本没有海狸香。是我的大脑在捉弄我吗？我问自己。也许吧。但我已经能“闻”出它在调香中会有怎样的表现。
鉴于目前的情况，把原料寄到阿曼很少能像点击、下单、送达那样简单。所以我订购了一些，然后满怀期待地等待。终于到货时，它不仅与配方相得益彰，还强化了我一直追求的皮革气息，并增添了恰到好处的暗沉感与动物气息，衬托出玫瑰。
后来，我加入了大量珍藏的印度老玫瑰（古拉布），取自一位收藏家珍藏的苏丹王宫香油。这让红果、玫瑰与皮革的组合，与龙涎香、零陵香豆、河狸香和越南沉香搭配起来更加协调。
最后加入的是苦橙。覆盆子为过渡到玫瑰中调带来了美妙的衔接，但它本身也需要一个引子。苦橙恰好满足了这一点：以明亮而不甜腻的气息开启，自然过渡到覆盆子和配方中的其他香调。
后来我意识到，这种结构早已出现在我之前的一款河狸香作品中，并分化成两个方向：覆盆子与烟熏沉香，以及以玫瑰和花香为核心的另一款。Castore Rouge 将两者融为一体。
希望下一款河狸香作品能彻底走出一条不同的路线。在那之前，希望你喜欢这一款。
浓度
继淡香版之后， Castoré Rouge 现推出淡香版。其浓郁度介于 Nightfall Neroli 和 Civet Prestige 之间——在我看来，既保留了河狸香与皮革作为主角的独特气息，又足够清淡，适合日常穿用。和其他淡香版一样，价格也会明显降低。如果你喜欢以红色勃艮第皮革为主题的香水，这会是不错的入门之选。
Castore Rouge is an opulent composition. Opens with vibrant roses and tart raspberry. Oud, Castoreum, Ambergris work together to ground the composition and give it a strong foundation.
Dark and vibrant, sweet and sour. Overall a well balanced composition where each ingredient plays its role but doesnt overwhelm the others
Elegance!
Wet & sweet roses, red berries & a rich soft leather. A perfume for statements & nights out.
Wow wow Castoré Rouge so freaking amazing and addictive I can’t stop reaching for it. IMO it give off Ghazalic like vibes with the richness and complexity. Delectable blends of exotic 🌹 🐋 🪵 and castoreum blended, so well it makes me believe that this could be Maher’s best work that scratches the itch of desiring the potent rawness and sophistication from his older works but blended to perfection as we have seen in is newer works. This will be on my Elkhaldi Rushmore for sure.
I now own five Elkhaldi perfumes and this is going to be a favourite. It is very intense and complex and I love that about the Ouds that I have bought from this House. I’ve already worn Castore Rouge half a dozen times since I unwrapped it, and each time I’ve worn it in public spaces, I've had compliments from other people about it. I feel a $million when I wear it. Also, it projects amazingly so it carries everywhere I go. It's great.
