Migration de L'Arbre

Another masterpiece by the olfactory artist of Senyoko, Euan McCall. Finally, a true niche brand that prioritizes quality over quantity of fragrances (there were only four releases in their line up--now five as of October 2020). I was instantly mesmerized by Madama Butterfly II having never before encountered such otherworldly beauty in a floral fragrance. So I figured (rightly it turns out), the same expert craftsmanship, quality, care and attention to detail would be found in their other fragrances. Migration de L’arbre is the most enchanting green fragrance I’ve come across. Unlike the below reviewer, I detect nothing synthetic. It feels so natural, soft, and calming to wear with the bright citrus opening (grapefruit, yuzu), the floral-herbaceous mid with facets of clary sage blooming into osmanthus and magnolia, while still being very grounded with patchouli and ambergris, which really just provide an earthy aura throughout. I’m not a patchouli-lover, but it is so incredibly well done here. The closest analogue to this fragrance would be Dusita’s Pavillon D’Or, which is a beautiful fragrance in its own right, but I find Migration de L’arbre softer, fluffier, and refined. The sillage and longevity are way above average. Bravo Senyoko! Please keep doing what you’re doing. I’m a forever fan. Top Notes: Clary sage absolute, Juniper absolute, Cedrat, Grapefruit and Yuzu Heart Notes: Elemi, Mastic, Guaiac, Magnolia, Osmanthus, Pomegranate and Nigella damenscena absolute Base Notes*: Ambergris, Tobacco absolute, Seaweed absolute, Vetiver, Cabreuva, Patchouli, Fir balsam, Cedar, Oakwood and Deertongue

Wow, this is probably one of the most impressive fragrance I’ve tried in years. From the first spray I get Juniper expertly blended with woody notes and a bit of citrus. It smells expensive, fresh and new. I feel like I want to be outdoors but in a social setting because it is a head turner. The scent at first is confusingly masculine, unisex then feminine all in a few short minutes. I would instantly jump on my husband had he been wearing this. It does soften quickly though and the projection lessens however the fresh, woody and expensive scent lingers. If I had smelt this on someone else, I would be desperate to know what brand it is as in my view it is no less than perfection!

What a wonderful scent, OMG !!!

I loved the aromatic salty fruit opening, but the drydown less so. The base is still pleasant; mostly musk and wood notes with no single note sticking out. What’s interesting for me was the opening which has a medicinal quality—very natural and pretty. Strangely the base comes across more synthetic, so I’m left confused. I would like to test this from a spray and not a splash vial.

This is primarily musky, woody, and herbal.The mix of earthy and woody ingredients makes it very dry to inhale and slightly irritating for the throat and eyes. I can tell that it is gorgeously blended but I personally would not enjoy wearing it. However, the conceptual approach of this brand is very appealing and the packaging is gorgeously artistic and poetic.
