Heaven Fresh

Launched in 2016, Heaven Fresh brought another Paul Kiler's approach to the freshness, putting one of his personal experiences inside a bottle. In fact, the bottle label brings the photo of the blossoms of a plum tree that exists in his backyard, reinforcing his involvement in every detail. The creative concept of the fragrance speaks of the moments of pleasure that he feels during the spring when spending some time in the orange groves near his house, feeling the scent of flowers, sandalwood, and water lilies, while the bees make their hard work. And as in the other creations of this perfumer, Heaven Fresh could not be a simple fragrance of minimalist construction. The composition lists notes of absinthe, shiso (also known as Perilla, which belongs to the family of mint), juniper, sage and clary sage, immortelle, basil, pine needles and four-leaf water clover (also known as Marsilea), making the green part. Then, fresh flowers of orange trees, neroli, carnations, water lilies, freesia, geranium, cyclamen, tuberose, and lily of the valley make up the floral bouquet. The citrus part comes from the notes of mandarin, kaffir lemon, Sicilian lemon, and orange, while the woody accord is composed of rosewood, mahogany, cedar, applewood, and sandalwood. On the skin, Heaven Fresh is not as gigantic as its formula. But it is in constant changing and that means you will feel everything a little. Just close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by this open-air garden. When I wear this perfume, I feel a strong menthol and balsamic content as the initial impact. It is as if I am passing through the garden gate, in its main lane. Then, the aromatic facet begins to emerge and leads me to a great fountain, in which aquatic flowers are at the height of their blossoming. At the ends, small shrubs reveal citrus fruits, still young and green. Its leaves are small and have an acidic smell. The woods appear less here, practically at the end of the walk. They serve as sustenance, like that bench, where I have been sitting down to read a book, meditate, or just listen to a song in the midst of the spring afternoons of the last days. Heaven Fresh is a fragrance that explodes on the way out but has low tenacity, unfortunately. It deserved a reinforcement at the base in order to gain a longer duration as it is delicious and extremely relaxing.

Sharp citrus and orange blossom that opens to clover and basil giving the impression of fresh cut grass. This is a very earthy heaven full of summer picnics and playing in parks. As it settles the green grassiness takes center stage with the florals giving it an aura of brightness.This is to Orange Blossom as Olympic Orchards Sakura is to cherry blossom. Perfectly floral and atmospheric I'm really excited to have discovered this sample! I wouldn't be surprised if I find myself hunting down more before the summer is over. Unfortunately I'm not getting the longevity that others did. At 3 hours it is gone. Maybe it will do better in warmer weather? Upon revisiting I reapplied at an hour and a half because it was a really faint skin scent. If anyone knows of something like this that lasts a good 8 hours I will be in love.

I get shisho, basil, rosewood, freesia, geranium, sandalwwod, immortelle, lily of the valley, mahogany, & orange. It's fair but i too much floral to pick from as it forms confusion somehow. Fair. Edit (45 mins in) The drydown gives a whiff of a metallic note which makes it smell like saliva on metal, & that's awfully bad.

Earthy fresh, spring in a orchard, woods in the background totally impressionistic!
