EO Green

Wooooow! Start of haute patisserie with a royal yuzu sorbet encrusted with sandalwood, refreshed with green tuberose, soaked in blue lotus with a wisp of smoke, castoreum and exotic oud. Fresh yellow-green, a little spicy, thirst-quenching, melting, satisfying. Sometimes softer and more gourmand, others more resinous, medicinal. Beautiful, Healing, Spiritual.

I believe EO Green is now discontinued but I’ve only recently acquired a decant of it. I can see why this got the axe, I find it absolutely revolting. That’s not because I’m “inexperienced” or “unaccustomed to high grade natural materials”, it’s purely down to the fact that this composition of notes simply do not work well together. I pick up an incredibly luscious, dry and addictive combination of smoky oud, castoreum and incense, but this is completely ruined by the other notes. The sharpness of the yuzu mixed with the waxy sweetness of tuberose and lotus makes the scent smell like toilet cleaner. Combine this toilet cleaner accord with the dark, dirtiness of the other notes and it genuinely does smell like public toilets. The materials are obviously incredible quality but this is simply a bad mix of notes, horrible smell! Ensar has far better offerings available these days
