September Country

Exhuberant and teasing, this scent sounds like it'd be some combination of hay, sky accords, and some trees, but it is nothing like that at all. It's quite sweet and fresh. My first impression was that it would be a scent you might smell in a psychic's house. It is gregarious and seems to communicate "I am open to new experiences", but does so while maintaining a degree of restraint and cultivation. I find myself using the word "restraint" a lot with Ys Uzac... but the defining restraint is also always combined with boldness. This one is no exception. In my collection, the Paul Klee scent from Ys Uzac covers a similar use; both being primarily smells I'd be most inclined to wear while at some social gathering. September Country is a bit more casual and less intense than the Paul Klee scent (which is primarily rhubarb, fruit, and ink). I'm very pleased with September Country -- but, same as with Bois Fou, it is a little too sweet for what I want to be smelling all the time. Sillage is moderate, as is longevity.

September Country is glorious and wildly diverse, an explosion of spices, alcoholic warmth, stewed fruits, sweet preserves, herbs, smoke, and autumn air, constantly shifting between warmth and sharpness. It’s not conventional, it’s endlessly intriguing. A beautiful interpretation and intelligent creation from Vincent Micotti. Extraordinary, challenging, and unforgettable.

A note break down has not been presented here, but according to Ys-Uzac some of the more dominant notes are ginger, absinthe and gin accord. The perfume is just LOVELY! The house of Ys-Uzac and nose Vincent Micotti have a different and highly intelligent approach to perfumery and it ́s quickly turning into my favorite house. Highly recommended!

how interesting! spicy-fresh at its finest. at first i think "wow all i get is ginger," then "all i get is absinthe," then "all i get is gin." a very potent combo no doubt. it really stands out from everything else in my collection. sharp and refined creature pt. 1 - djrum

September may be behind us, and likewise, Autumn soon. Still, I felt it wasn’t too late to squeeze this in. I thoroughly enjoyed it this season; it does justice to the name. There is a festive and autumnal vibe about it. While I could see myself rocking it all year round, I feel colder months suit it best. During the early weeks of Fall, there are all sorts of food and wine festivals here. Farmers come from all over the country to sell their stock. People prepare all kinds of local dishes, savory and sweet alike. The aroma that fills the air is glorious and highly diverse. Spices, alcoholic beverages, stewed vegetables and fruits, fresh fruit, and sweet preserves. A mingling of flavors that delights the palate. An explosion of colors. And that is exactly how September Country smells to me, and of what it makes me think of. There is so much contrast and so many hues. I have no idea what the actual notes are, but to me it smells like a combination of: gin, apple cider, ginger, tarragon, juniper berries, cloves, cinnamon, anise, parsley root, marzipan, and smoked woods. There is more, but these accords are few that I can distinguish. It’s spicy and boozy, very herbal and quite bitter. The bitterness is offset by a slight amount of sweetness, just enough to restore balance. In the dry-down, it becomes more about the smoky wood notes. Like the aftermath of the fair, with the furnaces smoldering in the memory of the joy they offered. Another artistic perfume from Ys-Uzac that this time tells the story of abundance and change that bestows the Fall season. IG:@memory.of.scents
