Description

“His eyes were the same color as the sea and they were cheerful and undefeated. (E.Hemingway) Interpreted by
Fanny Bal. Sheer, bright vetiver. Caribbean Vibe.

Working with Fanny we had the pleasure to experiment with one of our favourite ingredients – vetiver – in all the
variants available in the wonderful LMR (Laboratoire Monique Remy) fragrance library. We worked on the balance
of three different versions: Vetiver from Haiti, woody, dry and spicy, with a slight bitterness in the opening, which
perfectly marries the rhubarb note. Vetiver from Java is dirtier, with smoky tones and leathery facets. Vetiver Heart is a fantastic material, worked so to give a clean and dry vetiver note without the earthy part.” – a note from the brand.

(homage to) Hemingway was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Fanny Bal.

    Wow! It’s a zingy, spicy Vetiver. Quite a trio of notes. I can detect all three of them ok. Does it work? Not to my nose. I love Vetiver and ginger but the tart rhubarb sends it spinning the wrong way for me.
    Thankfully after a short while the three ease off considerably and the leather prevails. I like it much more now the patch and wood come through.
    It’s now warm patch and wood that has a touch of zing. I’d say it’s unisex and nice for cool weather wear.
    I’m puzzled that some see a similarity with Chanel Sycamore. Sycamore is dominated by Vetiver and doesn’t have ginger or rhubarb. Sycamore is vibrant and feisty Vetiver and not heavy on the patch.
    Moderate longevity and sillage.

    Gunpowder, the only thing I can think of is gunpowder. The smoking tang fills one’s skull like Hemingway did with his own two-barrel shotgun. If this is why they named the perfume after him, then it truly is a cruel homage.

    Friendship ended with ALL OTHER VETIVER. Now HEMINGWAY is my best friend.

    This is beautiful stuff. I feel vigorous, strong, confident, and soulful, wearing this. Ginger zings off the top. With… and I agree with the poster below… a thin incensy smoke, a light touch of fruity tartness, and a rich complex, stunning vetiver ensemble. It’s as startling and rich as encore noir but runs in a different direction. Instead of misty and dark, it goes dry, spicy, and smoky.
    I can’t stop smelling myself. Good thing my first wear is lounging at home. I think I’d look crazy taking long orgasmic huffs off of my own arm in public.
    Instant fave.

    A fantastical conjuring trick with smoke rings made out of something that isn’t even smoke! A work of total olfactory illusion – and magical proof that Masque know exactly what they are doing. I could have sworn to you that this contained tobacco – not just generic ‘smoke’, not fluffy warm leaf tobacco like say Chergui, but actual high-class cigars, with their very distinctive herbal funk, made from carefully selected leaves – and some warm spices. But not a bit of it. This scent, which I love, has been built from a note I often loathe (vetiver), given a completely new guise with the ginger and rhubarb (notes I happen to love but didn’t even detect as themselves in this one.) Somehow it’s all wrapped up in a glorious, completely unisex drag act, with everything presented in a new disguise and completely working it. Rather astonishing, really: although not obviously the lushest or most opulent in the line, it has something supremely special about its aura of natural command. It has intense charisma. Very, very high-class work here.
    Like Hemingway’s prose: Rugged. Manly. Terse. Uncompromising. But beautiful.

    Nice scent , It is very close to Sycomore imo but a little sharper and less buttery.

    It is a remarkable vetiver fragrance, with a green fruity touch of rhubarb and ginger. These two make a boozy vibe. There are two different kinds of vetiver in it: clean and greener from Haiti and smoky dusty from Java. They smell very different and together make an unusual perfume texture and also illusions of cigarettes’ smoke, soil and wood.
