Semi-Bespoke No. 22

Semi-bespoke #22: Fresh Powdery Fougere-Chypre Ultra fresh opening with sparkling bergamot and bitter green petigrain. There's definitely some distinct herbal note from clary sage. There's no really heart phase. Instead, it transitions straight to the base: green balsamic Galbanum, green earthy Oakmoss, and powdery warm Orris. And there are some floral notes in the background too. Closing my eyes, I can easily imagine I am in a 5-star luxury hotel room in Paris. Just stepping out of shower, smelling so fresh and expensive from the finest French soap Savon de Provence. Now I'm just sitting on the edge of the bed, sipping some Côtes Du Rhône, watching the shimmering Eiffel tower at night through the windowed wall, not thinking of anything else just because I smell soooo damn good. Simple composition but expertly executed. Vintage modern gem. It reminds me of: most expensive soaps. Projection: 4/5 Longevity: 5/5

Update 1.5 years in: still amazing and unique and super long lasting Amazing blasting fresh and citrusy scent. Super high quality fougere. Super long lasting!

Clean mossy galbanium haze. Fougere-Chypre? Femme in a Victorian way, but of no particular gender.

Almost off-putting assemblage of quality greens with a floral undertone and an air freshener overtone. Chemical, powdery and reminiscent of an aftershave. Settle down about an hour in and achieves a modest balance, but never compeltely shakes its chemical overtone.
