Turquoise

I tested it without looking into the notes - my verdict was absinthe. Best absinthe fragrance ever.

It remindes me a lot of Quasar by Jesus Del Pozo!!! I love them both.

I was very excited when I heard about this. The talk of turpentine in the opening and the prospect of a balsamic/incense fragrance that I can wear in the florida heat without nauseating everyone in a 5 meter bubble certainly had me intrigued. I blind bought this, and it opened pretty great. Exactly what I was expecting, bright coniferous notes, balanced with an interesting briney turpentinic vibe and a noticeable salty-smoky-balsamic underbelly. I doused myself and excitedly went about my day. Interestingly, it accomplishes it's goal and it makes incense wearable in the heat, but at the expense of my personal tastes. The dreaded "marine" slop completely overtakes the fragrance after about 15 minutes and it just becomes this unbalanced nightmare on my skin. The resinous underbelly is there, but my chemistry makes it clash horribly with the oceanic airy vibe. It's sort of like a "beach walk" bathroom freshener or something, strangely boring and domesticated, but with a strangely salty incense pyre burning somewhere a room or two away. Additionally it is not nearly as dry as I was imagining it, it turned very sweet very fast adding to the list of things that I don't like in a fragrance. In short, this was an interesting concept that unfortunately disagrees with me. I truly despise beach-walk candles as well as marine fragrances and as such this is going on the swap/sell list. Shame on me for blind buying. 4.5/10

Reviewing Turquoise left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it is a genuinely dynamic and engaging fragrance. Its unusual interplay of woody and marine accords, enriched with incense, makes for a scent that is both distinctive and full of character. On the other hand, I was occasionally distracted by synthetic off-notes that surfaced as the fragrance evolved. They are most noticeable in the aquatic, floral heart and again in the later stages of the drydown, giving the composition a slightly unfinished feel. Even so, I appreciate its light, versatile style. Turquoise is an interesting fragrance — one that rewards exploration — but it never quite reaches the point of being truly captivating. Despite its shortcomings, my overall impression remains positive. My rating: Worth getting to know. (5/7)

Interesting herbal aquatic scent that could have been a bit more effective if it were stronger. The perfume opens with notes of pine, incense, pepper, elemi, juniper, and coriander. The perfume then starts transitioning to an aquatic heart with seaweed, grassy notes and light water flowers. The perfume dries off to a honeyed incense base. Unisex perfume with moderate sillage and projection and fair to good longevity. An ozonic herbal slightly resinous unique scent. Enjoy!
