Pentachords White

Violet ganache ,vanilla butter cupcake Pentachords white is a powdery , dense floral woody musk , which the main focus on violets and Iris and musk, some redwood and amber. Highly enjoyable and in my opinion very natural feeling. Like Christianne1 already mentioned , 98 % of all perfumes on the market are synthetic , the fact Andy announces the penchathords to be synthetic is throwing people off , judging PW to be chemical. Well it's not at all the case , I am a lover of Iris and violets and it smells no more synthetic than Hiris or MISIA or Après L'Ondee. The violets and Iris mixed with vanilla amber and rosewood makes this fragrance slightly palydoish indeed , which for some might be not natural , I however adore that smell , even if it may resemble a vanilla scented plastic doll head ,,,, Give this fragrance a chance to settle down , after half an hour it becomes very powdery soft but dense vanilla with a hint of Iris and violets. It gets better and better as it becomes one with your skin. It becomes almost metallic and becomes white rather than purple. It's certainly a minimalistic perfume and is great for every day use. A perfect Violet gnache vanilla butter cupcake !

Pentachord White smells of ultimate comfort and safety to me. It stirs some vague memories from the childhood. Mom's vanilla-scented lip balm? The streets of that far-away northern city where we used to live in the spring time? Watercolors that I had as a kid that smelled so good I would lick the brush instead of washing it?.. Not sure, but I wear this scent when I need to relax, and it works like a charm. It's a bit of a zen experience, really. As many other reviewers, I mostly get vanilla in the first few minutes, but as the scent develops the distinct fresh bitterness of violet and iris comes into play to balance the sweetness out. I almost don't get any amber or woodiness here, but maybe it's the warm sensation at the very base that underlines the entire smell and ties it together. I love how simple and yet sophisticated Andy Tauer's Pentachords are. I got samples for both this and Pentachord Verdant, and each of them is an entire symphony. I don't get tired of them. I don't get used to them. They just somehow put me into the present moment and make me feel more alive. Which is more or less what I want my perfume to do.

Pentachord White is like a story, whispered in soft voice to a woman's ear. A woman with golden honey hair, a woman who wears pearls and silk dresses. A woman who pours a bit of milk in her green tea, who preffers her hot chocolate to be white, creamy and with a vanilla scent, and she never drinks it hot. She just wait for it to form a thin film meant to hide the smoldering heat from inside the cup. That's how this perfume is: emotion, voice tremble and sweet taste on the lips. Pentachord White e ca o poveste spusa soptit, cu voce guturala si catifelata, catre urechea unei femei cu parul de culoarea mierii, o femeie care poarta perle si rochii de matase sau brocart, o femeie care isi bea ceaiul cu lapte, o femeie care prefera ca ciocolata calda sa fie alba, cremoasa si cu gust de vanilie, si nu o bea fierbinte, ci cu o usoara pojghita deasupra menita sa ascunda caldura mocnita din interiorul cestii. Asa este acest parfum: emotie, tremur in voce si zambet cu gust dulce pe buze.

I love it when I expect to not like something but am pleasantly surprised. Pentachord White is so pleasing to my nose! Nothing like what the others are getting who were less than pleased. I love the combination of floral lightness with woodiness. It feels like springtime in the fall. The ambergris is addictive. I think the fact that he admitted the Pentachords are all synthetic is throwing people a tad. Many of the fragrances we love from other houses are all synthetic. Andy is one of the few who uses a lot of real oils and extracts so it was a departure for him. Pentachord White for me is delightful. Like most Tauers it needs to settle down and breathe. Give it at least an hour before you make a decision.

When I was a child, in Hungary, there was a sweet candy, which has this kind of fragrance. I adored that candy, so this memory makes me love this scent :) In YouTube there is a video about Pentachords fragrances, in which Andy Tauer tells a lot of things about these 3 parfume. For example, they are really synthetic, Andy Tauer would like to prove, that a fragrance would be good despite if only it has five notes and the notes are truly synthetic. I think sometimes a memory or a feeling can make the fragrance so good..... The more I wear it, the more I love it! 9/10
