Not Me Not You But Everyone

Not Me Not You But Everyone: Love the name; it's a perfume that feels both substantial and weightless. Smooth on paper, it's truly revealed on skin. It carries a quiet density, with the warmth and structure of a modern chypre, leaning towards a mature, composed elegance. From the opening, I notice a soft cinnamon nuance that, to my nose, reads almost like a rose touched by port wine 🍷, slightly spiced, and gently enveloping. Upon developing, the scent becomes richer, featuring honey, citrus, and amber elements for warmth, alongside a more intense, green, fruity blackcurrant facet. The drydown of oakmoss, patchouli, and a subtle smoky leather creates a softly woody, grounded base, some texture, but never heavy. It stays close to the skin, elegant and quietly present, with excellent longevity. There's a subtle vintage charm here: a fruity chypre with a modern softness, balancing brightness and depth in a way that feels both familiar and intriguing. This fragrance feels refined, distinctive, and thoughtfully composed, quietly luxurious in its character. 🤍✨

I am in Chiang Mai and kept coming back to this perfume at Maya. I am obsessed ... just bought the full bottle after trying the sample for a few days and will see how it goes in colder weather. It reminds me of Hanae Mori Butterfly, my favourite perfume when I was a teenager. Can’t wait to try the other perfumes as well and visit the museum in Bangkok one day!!

This is undoubtedly my signature scent from the house. It opens with an indulgent burst of white chocolate and a refined boozy whisper of whiskey, while blackcurrant drifts through with effortless freshness. The overall character carries a vintage aura, gently evoking a fruity chypre style—utterly captivating.

Thais dislike the smell of green note to the point that we've coined the term "green smell," because our country is lush green year-round, unlike Westerners for whom green symbolizes life, spring, and reproduction. Furthermore, when we wanted a deep green mixed with black, but specifically a youthful scent—referencing a BL (Boys' Love) series about young men rebelling against society—it became even more confusing. We had to watch the entire series before we could fully understand the origins of the scent. Therefore, this fragrance is the freshest, most energetic, and dark-bright of the five siblings.
