DjHenne 22

Oh, it's a strange one. Well, PG made quite a few of those... At first I have an impression of very nice suntan oil, there is something tropical in the air. No, no, cocoa butter or good dark chocolate. No, no, it's too creamy for that. Let's settle on cocoa butter then. Well, it is creamy and delicious, but not in the edible kind of way. Or just a little. Then it is also aromatic on the outskirts, lavender and mint. Definitely fresh. And warm. Comforting. And english. Like After Eight-eating and lavender-smelling on the tropical holiday english. And neurotic. Sillage and longevity are not good. And I do not care. The stuff is adorable.

I received a sample from luckyscent and wow, what an experience! It is a deminsional fragrance - both spicy and clean, leather and powdery floral. It's a warm, enveloping scent...like slipping into a beloved leather jacket. I do wish the lavender notes had been more present. If I purchase a full bottle I would like to see how it performs layered with L`Occitane Lavender. Either way, I keep finding myself turning my head to catch another whiff.

when i first smelled it, it was a dead ringer for chergui but that quickly morphed into a minted light suede/leather, hay (wheat?), very dry lavender and a faint boozy wood. it goes through three distinct phases, the second getting deeper - myrrhe? - ending with a honeyed resinous denouement that lasts a long time. finally met a PG i was willing to buy & wear rather than simply admire from a distance. excellent frag!

I really like this!! Wow! I don't always like mint as a note, but mixed with cocoa, Lavender and myrrh, it is fascinating and quite lovely. I would consider this an evening Scent.

Another unique or even odd scent from PG, and another one that's impossible to wrap my head around based on just my little sample: I've been wearing Djhenné for a couple of days, and I'm still not even sure whether I like it or not. One thing that's for sure is that the opening isn't really for me: it's a pure blast of lavender, very natural and very cold - nice, but clasically masculine, which means it's not what I personally look for in a perfume for myself. Luckily it settles down soon enough, softening as the hay/wheat accord comes in, and in fact it keeps evolving all through the day; focusing now more on the balsamic aspects of the note pyramid, then on the sweet or woody ones, and I even get whiffs of a lovely white floral accord from time to time, which I guess must be the syringa. This shapeshifting makes it interesting for sure, but also hard to pin down - and combined with the soft sillage, even a little vague. So this actually is more of a non-review: I haven't really been able to form an opinion, not even to decide whether I want to explore this one any further: am I intrigued by Djhenné, or just puzzled by it? Time will have to tell...
