New Sibet

Edit: Ignore my long-winded review below. It’s just like the top of Mitsouko Extract, the slightly tart peach on a bed of iris and humid woods, only with the alpha ionone dialed up and a bit of animalic scent. I really like it but I don’t need it because I have the Mitsouko. New Sibet takes me directly back to staying in my grandmother’s old bedroom at her parent’s house, my great grandparents, when I was a small kid. So small that I used to sleep on two 1930s club chairs pushed together to make a sort of plush crib while my sisters shared the bed. The rosewood dresser drawers smelled exactly like New Sibet after it settles down, like ancient makeup containing animal fat, furs dusted with vintage perfume. For this scent memory, what I would call the scent of a dressed up lady’s bare shoulders - early to mid 20th century, I think New Sibet is an awesome rarity, something to score a bottle of before it’s gone. It’s like a glamorous vintage leather fragrance done naturalistically, without the roses and the ultra-feminine grandiosity. I happen to love orris, even a little raw like this, slightly deranged animalistic details and leather and I find authentic, warm-blooded skin scents like this very comforting. So while this is worlds away from what most expect and seek from perfume today, I am thrilled it exists for those that can get into it. The last time I smelled something like this was Anatole Lebreton Incarnata, although Incarnata goes more overtly femme with raspberry and violet sweetness and more powdery texture. This is niche and plain and less contrived, a perfume for perfume lovers. EDIT: performance is 100/100. It lasts and lasts, my new benchmark for incredible performance on skin and clothing. 5 out of 5.

New Sibet definitely impressed me. It opens with a note of fresh mint, that strikes a clear tone like a bell. Soft carnation,, carroty orris, mint and goat milk create an oddly natural but strange scent. The carnation, waxy orris and smoothed out oakmoss give the scent an overal vintage vibe. I’m impressed that Josh Lobb got such a harmonious scent out of such disparate notes, but it works. It’s a very pleasantly clean and smooth scent. Over time the orris note gets less carroty and more waxy, and the suede and ash notes join. They’re minor, but they do add depth to the scent and the suede and ash combo reminds me of a similarly mellow accord from Myths Man. I love this different direction for Slumberhouse. Josh Lobb seems to be obsessed with waxy notes (olive in pear and olive, orris here, carmex lip balm in ore, etc). This is an interesting exploration. It has an unfamiliar wholesomeness - the image I get is of a rosy cheeked farm girl doing chores in her garden, high in the Himalayan mountains. The smell of the carrots she’s picking, mixed with the cool mountain air and the smell of her freshly washed skin. Despite the goat fur tincture, I don’t really find this scent to be “animatic” - it’s just a light goat milk like tang, and some clean suede. Projection is average (on the low side for slumberhouse scents) but longevity is good. Love.

"Goat Hair Tincture" was not exactly encouraging--but... intriquing. I love goats, having grown up with them as pets along with our horses; I just wasn't sure I wanted to wear one. I thought this fragrance would be sexy and skanky. However, it is not that exactly. I found it in the first 15-20 minutes an austere sort of sexy, kinky sexy, more S&M than "love me tenderly." The initial blast was beautiful, floral, and even up close, throat-closing mentholated (mint? chrysanthemum?), and then the goat-leather-labdanum came through a few seconds later, still mingling with the floral mums and I would even add a rose (though not listed). Twenty minutes in there is a "sweet earthiness" (that hints at patchouli--again, not listed, the methylated earthy kind, NOT "hippie nag champa") and it becomes ever more sweetly amber-animalic (though not floss) and the mums settle into a low-throttled spiciness. The "harsh" "goaty leather" smooths into a lovely, warm, skin scent that IS rather sexy and tender with wafts of incense (labdanum). I highly recommend. This is novel yet classic, well-constructed and beautiful. (Thank goodness, because I want to keep feeling the love for goats. This is the first time I've ever looked up/posted on Fragrantica and seen "Patches" (dead ringer for one of ours) as a fragrance note!).

I've been dissecting this fragrance since I received my bottle. It seems like each time I wear it I discover a new nuance in it. It is first a gorgeous, minty and spicy orris root scent before it turns smoky and to a leathery scent. I really love the feeling of it. I'm pretty sure I get some patchouli (a little) in the first minutes because there is something earthy here, and I get cloves also I think. I would not call it animalic though. I owe some perfumes that contain hyrax or civet (Montecristo for instance or some Sultan Pasha attars) and these ones really smell like animalic. New Sibet, even though it's leathery, never smells animalic to me so don't be afraid of the goat fur accord.That's a very deep and complex perfume, a little unsettling at the beginning because it's so unique, but that quickly became one of my favorite in my collection. It just makes me feel good. It is very long lasting and the base lingers a long long time on the skin. It's not a super powerful perfume on me. It's more an intimate experience. Love it
