Description
“A strikingly elegant still life in scent, Pelargonium portrays its namesake ingredient like one of the mysterious floral compositions of Dutch Golden Age paintings. Described by Nathalie Feisthauer as “aromatic, with a crushed-leaf facet, less fruity and more balsamic than rose, almost incense-like”, geranium Egypt acts as the central motif of this intriguing composition.
The perfumer starts by stretching a canvas of cool orris notes on a neat cedar-wood frame. Then she paints a dark, smoky background of vetiver Haiti, guaiac wood and moss.
Shot through with glints of green cardamom, the golden light of Calabrian bergamot suffuses the scene, caught by richly textured ingredients that bring volume and contrast to the composition. The herbal sweetness of carrot enriches the orris accord; ambery clary sage suggests the softness of velvety leaves.
Lemony, peppery, incense-like elemi resin enhances both the fresh and balsamic facets of geranium. As a haze of musks smooths out its edges, Pelargonium’s stately bouquet takes on a spare, abstract beauty.” – a note from the brand.

A very nice scent. I had a liberal application from a sample, it spilled a bit, and even with that I had to have my nose pressed to my skin to smell it. I don’t want to fill a room but yikes. Pass unfortunately because I really like this

This is very close to FdB Oud Vert. Awesome!

Gorgeous summer scent, genderless, a clean geranium/vetiver. As with most offerings from this house, it is elegant, refined, and interesting.

Simply brilliant, reminds me of the Lancome powder my grandmother used, but this is far from a “Granny scent”. This perfume lifts you up, is radiant and aromatic and will generate many compliments. I love how versatile and unoffensive this is, but it still is strong enough and noticeable to stand out in a sea of dreadful drab and dull odors.

Viste le note avevo paura di provare l’ennesimo detersivo per pavimenti/repellente per zanzare…
Questo in parte e’cosi’ ma piu versatile,di buona qualita’ e un po sofisticato rispetto ad altri profumi simili.
C’è una bella nota di salvia e buon legno guaiac.
Bello il vetyver nel finale.
Ben miscelato.Non cambia molto,rimane frizzante e agro a lungo.
La mia pelle apprezza,il mio naso un po meno.
