Flâneur

Very striking mix. As I smell on paper it fluctuates between being able to strike out notes and molding as one, credits to Mark Buxton who’s Emotional Drop hits even harder on the vetiver. A contrast between green and warmth. To my nose I’m familiar with the green sharpness of vetiver and I assume absinthe and bergamot adding to this as well. It’s got this warmth and slight modern powder from the base . Artists notes say it feels melancholic, I would agree; like the green of spring but faint powder from old perfume decaying. After 30 minutes here it’s become even more agreeable, forming together into an almost spa like aroma. Maybe this is The Matcha’s depressed cousin, mean to you at first then loves you. I feel this would change a lot based on weather and skin. Edit: testing on skin the day after, orris and cashmere qualities shining through more while still holding a hard to describe green edge probably the absinthe qualities, but much more smooth than on paper. Lovely, unique but also strangely familiar.

Flaneur is adapted (read perfected and more fem) version of Genetic bliss from the same house. It has beautiful floral opening, linden blossom is extremely prominent. The woodiness kicks in in 20 minutes or so and floral component is slowly softening up and at 2h mark it is more reminiscent of genetic bliss than anything else there. Beautiful composition and excellent performer. If you think Genetic bliss is too linear, definitely go fo this. Interesting development and dry down is so gorgeous.

I am sorry but this perfumes score represents the idiotism here in Fragrantica. With all my honesty i can say that this perfume has very good longevity, projection and sillage for what it is. Its materials and blend quality is great and it has very mild resemblance to Creed Silver Mountain Water and Casamorati Mefisto. So why this one has this low score, meanwhile other shitty clones have much better scores are beyond me. My score: 8/10

So unique, balanced and surprising. A whole personality of its own and perfectly so. It is fresh, green and spring like in the opening and on, my skin, it develops into a beautifully warm, woody and ever so slightly peppery scent yet remains elegant and more on the feminine side with a hint of crisp sweetness. It has great performance and a comforting feel. So happy I found this.

I love the scent of linden flowers and was looking for a perfume with this particular scent note. It is a realistic linden scent, slightly less sweet. This is truly a unique and quirky scent, I love it. It is complex and the scent of linden lingers on the skin for a long time. The scent develops throughout the day in an exciting way.
