After the Flood by Apoteker Tepe is a Floral Aquatic fragrance for Women & Men

Violet leaf, Water lily, Mushroom, Patchouli, Wet earth

After the Flood is the scent of soil, water, and the delicate stirrings of undergrowth in spring. A contemporary aquatic, After the Flood is both earthy and clean, fresh with hints of loamy darkness. Its delicate green color is due to violet leaf absolute, which flickers in and out of a base of mushroom, soil, and moss like green sunlight though thick branches.

"Rise, pond: – Foam, roll over the bridge and under the trees: – black drapes and organs – thunder and lightning rise and roll: – Waters and sadness rise and raise the Floods again.

Because since they abated – oh, the precious stones burying themselves and the opened flowers! – It’s wearisome! And the Queen, the Sorceress who lights her fire in the pot of earth, will never tell us what she knows, and what we are ignorant of."

A journey!

The opening is definitely where all the funk is – wet soil and decay. Very vegetal and realistic, like laying face down in the woods towards the end of spring when everything is damp and green and the plant matter is recycling itself back into the earth. Within the first few minutes the aquatic notes start to come through and, when combined with the wet decay scent, create this almost fruity note. It reminds me personally of how durian smells– kind of sweet and fruity, but in a way that’s rotten or overripe. That being said, if you hate the sound of this opening, just give the perfume a bit of time.

Over the course of the first hour everything evens out into a more traditional aquatic fragrance. The water lily and violet leaf mix very pleasantly to the point where the scent becomes almost clean. Projection also goes WAY down in this time and the scent settles close to the skin. I’d say longevity on me is average but it’s hard to say for sure when the projection is so low. I went noseblind for a few hours before I could finally catch a whiff again.

I tend to like challenging fragrances (especially wet, earthy ones) but given how tame the dry down is, I wouldn’t necessarily consider After the Flood to be challenging. I did really like this fragrance; but I wish that the opening lasted a bit longer or that the patchouli was strong enough to give the dry down a bit more earthiness. Overall though, I really enjoyed this fragrance!

Smells sharp, bitter, smoky (?) but somehow wearable.

Aquatic and Green

I definitely get very aqueous scents in this perfume. It’s almost too aquatic and not enough green for me.
