88Ser – :
If you’re already anticipating summer and looking for something fresh, grassy, and verdant, this might be something to consider. Agrestic is like the essence of cut grass distilled into a phial with maybe the faintest hint of something floral – and, yes, a bit of cannabis just because Dawn is cheeky like that. In fact, this is only one of the four scents that she released which were all inspired by the 2014 court decision to legalize marijuana in Colorado, her home state. The other three are: Rocky Mountain High, I Love You, Mary Jane, and The Green House. (There’s no need to point out that Dawn has a real panache when it comes to naming her perfumes.)
Some of the notes, in no particular order: bergamot, Brazilian vetiver, cannabis accord, coumarin, cypress, grandiflorum jasmine, oakmoss, guaiac wood, hay absolute, hemp, lavender and lavender absolute, liatrix, sandalwood, grapefruit, and tomato leaf.
Her website describes Agrestic as “a twist on the modern fougere that features hay and a cannabis heart, of course.” To be honest, I never would have identified it as a fougere, since I can’t detect any lavender at all – but the vetiver, cypress, hay, hemp, sandalwood, grapefruit, and tomato leaf are all very noticeable.. At the very top, I get a vinyl or acrylic/rubber note which I initially thought to be out of place, but within a few minutes that’s gone and what you’re left with for the rest of the fragrance life – and it’s a long life – a freshly mowed grassy with some terpene accords (aromachemicals that give pot its distinctive, resinous smell) that make you wonder what could possibly be growing behind the shed in the backyard. On second thought, that vinyl or acrylic/rubber note is not out of place at all. The next time you mow, if you mow, get your face as close as you can to the freshly cut blades. The smell only seems fresh from a distance, but up close and personal, it’s has the exact same scent that Dawn puts in the top. A perfumer whose scents can force you to notice new things about the world is certainly one who deserves the support of the community.
Another wonderful thing about Dawn’s scents is that you’re not stuck with one or two bottle sizes; she sells each of her scents in about half a dozen different sizes and presentations to suit the needs – and pocketbooks – of her customers. If you want something clever and just a little bit cheeky to treat yourself to, or a friend or family member who fancies a freshy, give this a try. But don’t blame me if you get addicted and find it a “gateway” into the rest of her collection. (Sorry, you know I had to end this review with a pot joke.)
