Anabasis … is amazing. It’s green, green, green, all the way down, like a harmless tumble down through a spiky coniferous canopy of fir and pine needles, sap and dew and bark cascading over your skin in waves, a smear of peppery latex-like vine juice, then a heap of wet crushed grasses and reeds, landing in a heap of green green galbanum. It *really* smells of plants is what I’m saying. It’s a little too sharp and bitter-vegetal for me to completely adore – there’s just so much chlorophyll in there and not much of sweeter or more resinous ingredients to mellow it or soften the overwhelming botanical funk – but it’s absolutely beautiful and wild and natural. Astonishing stuff from a house which is quickly becoming my favourite nest of weirdos. If you thought Zoologist could be challenging, then Apoteker will blow your mind. Bear in mind that I am not even a massive fan of the greens (in perfume) and yet this is something other. Extraordinary.

Greeny citrus, freshly from forest in spring season. It also gives the essence of a citrus evian water! clean fresh and greeny, like a cooling breeze.

I’m easily swayed by familiarity. The fact that this shares its name with the title of one of my favourite Dead Can Dance songs was admittedly a driving factor in my insistence to smell it.
Although short-lived, the initial shiso explosion is nothing short of divine! Wafting down gently to a fresh greenness reminiscent of broken fig leaves.
The birch emerges through the green, yet cleverly manages not to overpower or lend its overly tarry nature.
This isn’t a powerhouse, but it doesn’t need to be. It journeys quietly towards its finale of cedar and musk.
As an afternote: the bit of spray that did manage to get on my clothing retained the green aspect for quite a while afterwards. I don’t think I’ll be changing my shirt until I’ve huffed every last gorgeously fragrant molecule out of it.
