Are these perfumes extremely rare? Maybe I’m more priviledged than I thought to be able to get them easily at the local Selfidges boutique.
I’m the only one who’s voted for the notes. I’m not terribly good at notes-analysis – in fact I’m goodly terrible; so if anyone could help me out I’d very much appreciate it.
But I’ll justify my choice insofar as I have made it as follows. This is essentially a musky-mossy fragrance – a musk-moss bomb – nothing short of that. It’s also quite citrussy – I think the lime & the bergamot are both quite prominent. And it’s well-charged with amber – but in suchwise that it tends to catch you rather glancingly at odd moments, as is indeed the wont of amber, very often. As for the vetiver – as it has a similar kind of effect in a fragrance to moss, when they are both in together it may be difficult discern precisely the proportions of them. I think in this case the moss outweighs the vetiver; but I have put the vetiver quite high anyway, giving it the benefit of the doubt, so to speak. The rose the, jasmine, and the sandalwood are not big players in this, but I get how they are there. The galbanum I’m almost guessing at really: I think I recognise it through the memory of other fragrances that are said to have it in. But the poor benzoin – to me benzoin has a very distinctive balsamic aroma, and I just do not get it! But then, that’s the skill of the parfumier – to create an integrated whole; so even though I’ve in a sense through voting said it isn’t there, I say here that I don’t say it isn’t there.
I can scarcely believe this is so unheard-of on here, though!
