Tinted Twill

This is a highly underrated gem, it smells like nothing else I've ever tried, perhaps only YSL's Muse comes slightly close with the ink note. It's an inky iris, smells like a combination of dry orris root, ink on freshly printed paper, still warm from the printer, or the warm, ever so slightly metallic/static-y smell of an iron, steamed laundry, and then add to that some clean incense. I think it's a beautiful scent, very introspective, artistic, bit moody and melancholic, perfect for those who still enjoy calligraphy and putting ink to high-quality, thick, grainy paper.

Well done eau de parfum that really does smell like remnants of blue ink on fabric, or "tinted twill". Reminds me a lot of Courrèges Le Messager. The iris give it the smell of freshly dyed and still wet fabric floating in the wind. It however also reminds me of glossy magazine pages, a note which can get a bit cloying and artificial at times. This is really is more of a skin scent, and also smells great on fabric, however I do go noseblind to it quite quickly.

I smelled it once at Massimo Dutti's and I fell in love instantly. It's the scent of quiet luxury. I imagined a person who is well put together, who wears cashmere jumpers and who has that minimalistic fashion style. You can't go wrong with that fragrance, and I really wish my whole wardrobe smelled of it.

Unique scent. Hard to find one like this.

FYI smells nothing like Synth Aura
