Peace

To me, this is best at 4 hours in, up to the next day and until you wash your clothes. The next day is truly delicious when left on clothing. For some reason I have a hard time discerning the first 4 hours, and then after that, it’s enormously present. It’s a true incense perfume. I just picked up a note in the top and through the drydown of what smelled like anise to me, but it could also be lavender. I used to have 2 bottles and sold one, as I’ve worn it maybe three times in 7 years. It’s really lovely, but I have to be in the perfect mood for it, which I guess is not all that often. It is definitely opaque, almost heavy. Thick. Not quite suffocating, but I’m sure some would find it so. Great realistic incense.

Highlights: A hippy kind of approach to concept of PEACE ☮ This perfume is a combination of very natural herbaceous and earthy scents on a meditative base made of incense and wood. I get this message from it: Returning to nature and regard Mother Earth is the only way to get peace. Fresh sharpness of tarragon dances with lavender and cedar to finally settle down in the warm embrace of incense and vanilla on some earthy-woody floor. The whole picture is lighted with holiness of sandalwood. Peace combines magnificent with "Love" and "Perfume". You can make 7 different composition with PLP trio. Very delightful fragrance experience indeed.

Plays nice with others. Hannah Parmalee's signature scent.

The scents from this house (to me) are very natural, and this one's no exception. Earthy, deep and elegant with one of the finest sandalwood/patchouli blends I've met. Linear and loud with excellent longevity and stellar projection. Straight up hippie, but it's nice!

At first, I really loved the smell of this. It seemed a nice, cooling fragrance for summer; not meant to be sexy, more aromatherapeutic. But over time something about it began to disturb me and I just wanted it off my skin. I think it would be fabulous as an oil for meditation but on my skin it became something of a moldy basement; no doubt the patchouli. If the patchouli was toned down and the lavender amped up, I could wear it. It reminds me very much of the perplexing Oriza L Legrand Chypre Mousse, with which I have a love/hate relationship, sometimes craving the smell of it but once it has been on a couple of hours, I want to be shed of it. The same with this; these two fragrances are brothers-in-arms. I respect the artistry and by no means hate it, but no need at all for a full bottle of it.

I'm really surprised that musk isn't among the listed notes here... Because that's unfortunately the main note that I get. Strong musk with some nice woody, herbal and slightly sweet things going on in the background. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of musk at all... So to me it overpowers and kind of ruins the rest of the notes. To bad because the rest of the composition smells nice.
