sadev13 – :
To me, the primary note that my mind runs to when thinking of, wearing, or speaking of Le Rayon Vert is of course the absolutely astounding galbanum in use here. The galbanum here displays all of the facets that one would expect to find it displaying in the myriad of ‘green chypre’ oriented fragrances that utilize it: bitter, reedy, sour, woody, and of course: green as all get out. The galbanum to me is surrounded by a rich and earthy oakmoss, a woody, earthy, but pleasantly balmy clarysage, with a dusty, dry and medicinal artemesia/absinthe that pairs so wonderfully with the worn, slightly smokey, slightly creamy leather. While all of this is going on there is a brilliant, dewy, soft, creamy gardenia alongside a fantastical lilly-of-the-valley that create this mouth-wateringly beautiful white floral/dewy effect that joins hand-in-hand with the bitter, medicinal, green symphony occurring right beside it. The woody effects taking place in the green portion of this composition occasionally find themselves to be amplified by the sandalwood, and smoothed out to a remarkable degree, and other times still the woody/green quality finds its song echoed in that of the vetiver. Underneath all of this, musk, patchouli and sandalwood play this magnificent three-chord progression of creaminess that remains the same, but seems so different depending upon which elements of the fragrance they play against. Throughout this whole magnificent affair, the ambergris finds itself at varying levels of play – occasionally it hearkens to the salty sea water from which it came, giving the bitter green elements a chance to sparkle, as if freshly seasoned by nature herself, and other times still the warm reds and browns give the earthy atmosphere a sweet tinge (unlike the natural and soft sweetness found at the hands of the gardenia) which pulsate underneath the green and white canopy alongside the scrumptious sandalwood, patchouli, musk combo, and once the green chypre elements which make up the full first wave of this fragrance begin drying down a couple of hours into the composition, one finds the skin scent of royalty with the ambergris, patchouli, musk, sandalwood and trace elements of gardenia and slightly smoky leather remaining for hours and hours on end – as if to accentuate you, the wearer’s natural musk, and give those around you an unending desire to bite.
