Description
“In the Spring, when Pentecost Sunday arrives, it is a time to sing and dance and rejoice that winter is over. It is an explosion of green, of spring flowers and roses…
In the Eastern Churches, on Pentecost Sunday, the Church is decorated with many boughs of green branches, with all those beautiful bunches of flowers. From a hole in the top of the basilica or cathedral, called the “Holy Spirit” hole, Rose petals are dropped during the service, commemorating the act of when the Holy Spirit gifted many “tongues” to speak with for the Apostles to talk with crowds of people. It’s a beautiful sight to see rose petals floating down from the ceiling to the central part of the Church during the service…
Pentecost perfume is a remembrance of this stunningly beautiful and fantastic smelling event.” – a note from the perfumer.

There is not rose, floral or smoke to this scent. It is all grass, GREEN, cucumber, fizz and bite similar to a tea tree oil. I loved it at first sniff because it was so unique, in the way that The Different Company’s Soft Lawn is unique, but it does not last long at all.

I will try to be brief in religious matters, because I don’t believe a good fragrance should be linked to religion, sports, sexuality or political affairs.
Pentecost is one of the prominent celebrations in the Christian calendar, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles of Jesus Christ. Is celebrated 50 days after Easter Sunday and occurs on the seventh day after the Day of the Ascension of Jesus. That’s because he was 40 days after the resurrection, giving the last teachings to his disciples and adding up to 3 days in the grave, we have 43 days. Until the last day of the great feast of Pentecost, 7 days left, which were the days when the disciples remained in the upper room, until the descent of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, Pentecost is also considered the day when the Church was born.
This fragrance was created with inspiration in the decorations of the churches around the world, in a day of celebration, songs and spiritual renewal. Many churches are decorated with green branches, bouquets of flowers and, during the celebration, rose petals are shed over people.
With notes of birch leaves, green leaves and branches and accord of fresh air, in the output; followed by notes of rose, jasmine, tuberose and cassia, in the heart; framed by notes of frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood and amber, in the base, this fragrance is a real “floral celebration”. When touches the skin, is strong and brings, right off the bat, the powdery content of jasmine and Tuberose. During the initial minutes, I consider it more unisex, with something that I referred to the aroma of Carnal Flower (Frederic Malle). And as in all the creations of Paul Kiler, a single drop is able to projects meters away.
But Pentecost is not linear as other fragrances of the House. On the contrary, it has changed its style and aroma, at least three times on my skin. After the initial phase, the powdery aroma decreases and the fragrance gains more feminine nuances. From this point on, there’s no turning back: the floral aspect increases and the myrrh, from the base, becomes quite alive. A third stage emerges, in which the rose note becomes more present, making the fragrance even more delicate.
If someone asked me to define the ideal audience for this perfume, I would say women over 40 years of age. On them, the result will be beautiful, for sure! But it is important to be careful with the exaggerated application, because Pentecost is pretty strong.

Fresh, radiant rose! As I tried to identify the separate notes, it smelled like tea rose and the full rose together to me. Love this combination of both kinds of rose and Pentecost seems to have it. Lush full roses surrounded by delicate tea rose bouquet . . . supported by underlying green notes. They sustain a luscious undercurrent of what to me is a very pleasurable perfume. Every whiff as I moved and got fresh scent was a little moment of enjoyment. All stages of this are good – initial spray, dry down to the final residue. Sillage is good, and longevity about 4 – 5 hours. Very delightful to wear.
