Description

New Nomenclature fragrance Holy_wood tackles the theme of the Clearwood® molecule, developed in California for Firmenich as the 21st century’s answer to patchouli. Holy_wood pays tribude to California in the 1970s and equally celebrates the New Age spiritual awakening movement and a new movement in Hollywood cinema.

Perfumer Frank Voelkl creates a luminous and modern version of the recognizable accord of the decade – rose and patchouli.

Top: Rose Petal Nature Print®, pink pepper
Heart: Bulgarian rose, sambac jasmine
Base: Clearwood®, sandalwood, suede

It is available as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Holy-wood was launched in 2017.

    I should say at the outset that my fragrance preferences are far to the femme side of the spectrum. Bois des Iles is about as unisex as I get, but I have been trying to branch out and experience things beyond my comfort zone. I received a sample of Holy-wood with an order, and, knowing nothing beyond that it is marketed as for men and women, I decided to give it a try.
    It pains me to say that I get none of the floral notes described, nor sandalwood, nor patchouli. To me it smells way too far on the masculine side. I get nothing but sharp green wood, lime, and leather. It smells very, very similar to an aftershave my dad wore when I was a little kid in the 70s (neither he nor I remember what it was). I adore my dad, so it’s a lovely association…but I don’t want to smell like it. Unfortunately, it’s a tenacious thing, and I can’t get it off no matter how much I scrub. Bright side is that now I know what to get my dad for Christmas!

    I experience two stage with this perfume. The first 30 minutes is utter disgust – I immediately get a petrochemical smell, like diesel at the petrol station. It is harsh and confronting and not pleasant. Then as it settles on my skin I get an interesting wood smell with an almost (I say almost because it is fleeting) camphor quality. Interestingly it is much nicer from a distance – sniffing it up close to my skin is not as pleasant as a waft from a meter away. I’ve definitely never smelt something like this before, and Nomenclature is to be applauded for pushing the boundaries. Such dry, woody scents are not for me, but I can appreciate the intent.

    Dusty saffron jumps out first, followed by rose. Patchouli? No, but I do get an earthy undertone.
