 Maison Martin Margiela){kind=link}
batonn – :
my love. my experience of (untitled) comes in two parts. firstly, back when it launched in 2010. as a huge fan of the original maison martin margiela brand, i was ecstatic to see what they would launch–what they were essentially claiming as Them. at the time i had no trained nose, and only knew i liked incense notes and anything that could be described as ‘dark’ or ‘noir’, and so this green bomb (which now makes perfect sense to me, as you’ll see) was a bit befuddling. i didn’t dislike it, but it was a different sort of challenge. i remember the jasmine coming through the most, as at the time i didn’t like florals, and particularly white florals–this fragrance actually served as the catalyst to restructure my brain/nose/heart in how i perceive them. i hoarded samples and wore it through the streets of tokyo (ensuring an eventual deep nostalgic relationship), but eventually ran out and (untitled) remained a faint but fond memory.
fast forward to 8 years later: i’ve become perfume nut, and have incorporated it even into my profession. i purchase a new bottle of (untitled) and fall in love all over again, but this time with a far deeper understanding and fully ready to commit.
what comes through the most now, for me, is the incense and galbanum (i think this is certainly the combo bringing the comparisons to prada infusion d’iris, aside from the perfumer herself; it’s quite obvious to my nose !). the green is incredibly chic and dry and cool (both in style and in feel), but the incense–that glorious incense–keeps the mystery and adds sensuality. she’s not too cold to be touched, if you’re willing to get to know her–and therefore i can’t think of a better fragrance to represent the essence of what this house originally stood for (don’t even get me started on the replica range, it’s a tragedy).
egmr79 – :
I dont get the cologne vibe that people are talking about. Untitled is not like that. Its a light flowery fragrance dominated by galbanum, its not comparable to muglers cologne for instance. Reminds me about Like This from etat libre d orange.
The notes are quite subtle and alluring. Smells like a summernight at the norwegian countryside.
FooBoBol – :
Opens with a blast of frozen peas, with something smoky lingering behind. Very interesting and multi-faceted, sadly turns into childrens-bubblebath on my skin.
bugaev222 – :
I love this scent. It’s unique, uplifting and sophisticated. L’Eau is even better as a pick me up, but I love how this has more of a balmy tone to it, subdued with the galbanum. Easy to wear fragrance and I love that you can’t find it everywhere. It’s like a precious gem.
ochert – :
(untitled) is a “small” precious gem, simple and modern but never obvious nor presumptuous. Obviously this is a “green” scent, greener than putting your nose inside a shrub for a while, but never harsh, really well balanced instead.
It starts woody and green, with a really natural accord of crushed leaves and twigs from a boxwood, a “bitter petitgrain” and it moves slowly to more floral-citrus territories. The drydown is delicious, a musky and slightly smoky orange wood.
Definitely I cannot see the comparison to Prada Iris. Unless we talk about “clean” and “green” scents the comparison ends up here. Prada is more exhuberant and brighter, it starts floral and piquant and finishes much sweeter and soap-like, while (untitled) is an opaque hybrid of green, orange and woody notes with decent longevity and discreet projection.
This very first perfume from MMM is a timid perfume enclosed in a fanfare-bottle, a calling card based on a basic-like concept with a modern twist… what might we expect from MMM?
goshka03 – :
A must try if you’re a fan of perfumer Daniela (roche) Andrier! Another one of my favorite is Gucci’s Eau de Parfum Omg oriental spicy but as good for spring as well! Daniela Andrier is a genuinely unique on her own…I hope this is long and lasting like Daniela’s Gucci!
I gotta try this (untitled) don’t know about Prada infusion d’Iris, The Iris alone can be too much it has to blend with something like cacao or incense like Dior Homme…
papeia – :
Fresh, green, slightly smoky. Not very long lasting, but it’s a nice journey through the sharp green galbanum/boxwood opening to the dry incense finish. The scent and aesthetic are both very minimalistic, and there’s a quality over quantity vibe to it that is simultaneously urban visual artist chic and tiny house-in-nature-living millennial. One of my favorites for spring.
ivah-ka – :
I really get a lot of vetiver, or maybe it is that I have smelled vetiver so often with galbanum.
ciberdez – :
This was a nice surprise, I received it in a very lucky blind swap. To me it has a similar feeling to Infusion d’Iris: clean, professional, fresh and woody-green. A great fragrance for the office, restrained but not bland. And it lasts long enough to smell it faintly even after work.
miqael – :
Nice, love it. Clean, discreet and yet THERE. Boxwood is GOOD.
guk912 – :
So I’m a non-smoker, who happens to like how a smoker’s house + clothing would smell. I hesitate to describe it as stale smoke, since the word ‘stale’ sounds unsavory. It’s a comforting scent that simply improves your outlook on life.
Imagine the most sophisticated person you know, who dresses immaculately, says the right things, carries themselves with confidence, and exudes class. I can see that person wearing Maison Martin Margiela’s Untitled.
The 5 minute opening is Galbanum HEAVEN. The progression proceeds to a woodsy incense / ashes, and eventually a jasmine-tea plus cardboard. All phases have their merits, but the beginning’s the favorite. Sillage x longevity on me is poor, so the obvious conclusion is to “keep spraying repeatedly.” :o)
Untitled came in at runner-up, during my Quest for Favorite Galbanum. This all began from a love for Hermes’ Eau de Gentiane Blanche. A reviewer mentioned that “If you like that sharp green opening (from gentiane root), also look for Galbanum dominant perfumes.” Said quest took me through the following ride:
Olfactive Studio “Panorama”: Green, pretty, leans masculine. Would have bought if cheaper.
Prada “Infusion d’Iris”: Learned that I dislike Iris. Galbanum detectable in the opening.
Dior “Miss Dior”: Used to wear as a kid, during the 80’s.
Tom Ford “Vert de Fleur” “Vert Boheme”: TF’s whole Vert line is the BOMB.
Vilhelm Parfumerie “Morning Chess”: Couldn’t do the strong fruity-sweetness in the opening.
DSH “Le Jardin Vert”: Quite nice.
DSH “Viridian”: Learned that I dislike violet/ violet leaf.
DSH “Celadon”Learned that I dislike violet/ violet leaf.
Vero Profumo “Mito”: Loved the galbanum opening, a bit on the medicinal dry down.
Atelier de Geste “The Good Earth”: Didn’t detect any galbanum.
Chanel No 19: Matched what I read somewhere that the reformulation doesn’t have galbanum.
Ava Luxe “Figuer”: Didn’t smell great on me.
Ava Luxe “Fig Leaf”: Didn’t smell great on me.
Parfumerie Generale “PG24 Papayrus de Ciane”: Loved it! Strong contender for a purchase.
Monsillage “Eau de Celeri”: Loved it, and DEFINITELY buying for Spring.
Creed “Silver Mountain Water”: Great scent, someone I dislike wears it. No go.
Serge Lutens “Bas de Soie: Didn’t smell great on me.
Emilio Pucci “Sole 149”: Discontinued now. Shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but terrible.
Jacomo “Silences”: Too much 80’s.
Geoffrey Beene “Grey Flannel”: Learned that I dislike violet.
Balmain “Balmain de Balmain”: Turns out Cassis / cassis leaf smells urinous on me.
Odin “Vert Reseda”: WIN! This took the #1 favorite spot. Outrageously posh, so a Unicorn.
In sum, I went through 2 testers of _Untitled_, before buying the full bottle. It’s in the top 5 all-time favorites.
Request to perfumers: Please come up with a way to achieve LINEAR PERSISTENCE of galbanum, from beginning to end. :o) Like citrus, it’s an oddly fleeting note that marks the opening with a roller-coaster rush, and disappears a few minutes in. Unlike citrus, galbanum’s a resin (ie, big molecule).
gurrifielesee – :
Wore this today for the second time. I bought L’eau before this one and fell I love ,People asked many times what I was wearing and even my husband said he loves it. So I decided to order untitled blind hoping it was similar but as it states a floral woody musk rather than a citrus aromatic.
Daniela Andrier outdid herself again with that one. She truly is a genius. ( prada infusion )
It’s a delicious but natural fragrance. It’s one of a kind and may have to move to my top shelf. It wears heavenly ,seamless , soft and warm like a hug of nature , woods , it’s radiant it’s avant Garde. It has a sophisticated aura that is suitable for both men and women. But I find it so sweet and feminine in its drydown that I would rather smell it on myself than my husband. But then again maybe I would go wild over it on him.
I love the fragrance through all it’s stages. It starts if really vibrant and green. Very fresh !!! Then it turns into a very warm round sweet incense ceder woody musky scent ,still fresh but more of a fresh amber woody musk scent.
Work of art.
10/10
Also the bottle is great and it comes in a travel pouch.
freshmix10 – :
Beautifully GREEN. This is delightful. It feels familiar, unchallenging and easy to wear, yet serious and I love it.
I adore green notes and this is just perfectly balanced. Great day wear, it smells classy and rather formal – proper for want of a better word. I imagine the polo set or the ascot set wearing this.
Mouth-wateringly good.
Mihasy_1 – :
Bitter-sweet, floral, creamy and so green and vegetal that is almost off-putting; very potent at first and within an hour it settles to a sweet woody aromatic scent that sits close to the skin. Not much of a fan, but it’s quite original and interesting.
5.5/10
ggggggwfwfw – :
One of my favourites. I like the unusual mix of green and woody and the dryness. I never use floral scents but sometimes I like to try something different from my usual salty or woody scents. The only minus point is that it does not have much staying power. Love the bottle.
Apaklyaspicky – :
This is such an original scent! But my relation to it varies on a day by day basis. Sometimes this is the only scent I feel like wearing – and sometimes it’s too dry and woody. It’s almost a tad masculine, but in a very good and unisex way. I got this one as a gift, and would probably not have bought it myself – but it has grown on me so much. Will most likely repurchase!
1004 – :
I like this. It’s interesting, contemporary, cool and green, and has lots of cedar (one of my favourite notes). So cedar and the galbanum are the main ones straight off the bat, then the plant notes come forward. A little like Eau de Givenchy, but sweeter, less of a twist; and not as bitter as Vent Vert. A very pleasant green scent, like a still pond in the shady woods. The very slightest ashy tang, remains among the green – the scent isn’t very long lasting, but it’s natural smelling and completely unisex 🙂
eugeni – :
I’m finding, reading these reviews, that there seems to be a lot of variability in how people are interpreting the scent itself, the longevity, and the sillage. Far more than you would imagine you’d have with a product manufactured by L’Oreal under pretty strict guidelines.
After having numerous bottles and many, many samples I’m thinking this wide disparity in interpretation is due a lot to the product’s age and the storage conditions. More so than with a lot of other mass market perfumes. I’m guessing there are more than a few fragile components contained therein that don’t like extreme variation in temperature and begin to break down at a quicker rate than the other components, leaving a huge disparity in user experience, even from bottle to bottle.
I say this because I recent purchased a used bottle (30ml) off eBay, and also had a 12 pack of the 1.5ml sample sprays…so I compared them. The contents of the used bottle came out very alcoholic and bitter, eventually drying down to the scent I was expecting, while the sprays yielded a smoother, more characteristic scent. And longevity is also much longer with the sprays than with the bottle. My guess is somewhere along the line, the bottle was stored in a less than optimal environment and that deeply affected the contents.
My .02. Your mileage may vary.
And a quick sidenote: the plastic top that comes on all the Untitled bottles is also compatible with the Replica bottles so don’t throw them out when you use up your bottle of Untitled! The more you know….
serrnikks – :
To me this is a very unique fragrance, I won’t even be afraid to use the word brilliant!
I love how they’ve juxtaposed freshness with incense, it almost has a smokers vibe without tobacco, I absolutely love it! I’ve never smelled anything like it and the packaging is quite great too.
I would have to say it’s a warm climate perfume, which can be work during the colder climate, but in cold weather it turns a bit nostalgic and sad, it’s the only way I can describe it. In warm weather you still get a bit of a nostalgic vibe but it’s much more smoother.
oleksabigtorrent – :
A scent pleasantly bitter,green and candy sweet. But the longevity and sillage is so disappointing. A pity.
coluntopor – :
My method for testing a new perfume has always been the same; I spritz a bit in the air, and then I run the back of my hand through said mist. This is usually enough to give me a good impression of whether I will like the scent or not, and in the case of Untitled, less is more. This baby is pungent. Had I indulged myself in a full, wet blast on first try, I may have recoiled in horror. Even with that timid, introductory mist, I found myself it a temporary state of shock. Upon initial application, the best single word for Untitled is simply, “weird.” However, I like weird, and this is a weird I can appreciate – especially now that I know what comes next…
…ANNND because “weird” is not at all helpful to you. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this concoction. Untitled has, maybe, one of the greenest presence that I’ve smelled. Spritz. Sniff. Bitter, sharp, crunchy, aggressively green; this must be the galbanum. Sniff. I sense oiliness, but upon reading the description I pulled, they got it right when they used the word “filmy.” For me, the filmiest part is at the start, but it certainly digs its heels in and sticks around. Sniff. The jasmine sneaks in to save the homicidal greenery from completely murdering your olfactive experience. I also sense the woody-incense tip-toeing in, but as for the citrus, I can pin-point none. However I imagine the citrus is mingling in the background, playing a significant part in keeping this from staying over-the-top green. It settles down to a green-woody-floral, eventually musk side-steps in to assist the dry-down. As it settles down completely, it gets softer, pretty, airy, a little soapy, and less jarring.
I admire Untitled most with a light spritz, or when there’s only a whisper of it left on the skin. And because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every scent I’ve experienced that has Daniela’s name on it, my fondness for this baby is no surprise. I think if you’re a fan of Daniela Andrier, you must try this. If you’ve sniffed several of her perfumes, you’ll likely feel the Daniela vibe in the dry-down. Although very different fragrances, Untitled strongly reminds me of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris (which is one of my all time favorites).
As for the longevity and projection of this scent, it’s a bit underwhelming. If you happen to be in the presence of others when you’ve first applied, I’m fairly confident they’d notice. However, once worn for awhile, it becomes more of a skin scent. I don’t have to mash my nose against my wrist, but I have to get within an inch of it to catch a whiff. Longevity is okay, in that you’ll smell traces of it up close hours later, but it may leave you wondering where the once brash and outspoken Mr. Green has run off to.
(untitled) is an EDP and it retails for $100-140
Longevity: 2/5
Projection: 2/5
Sincerely, Krista @ Juice Fragrance Blog
Your Narkotik – :
I do like this, and wish I’d ordered at least 2 of the tiny samples, 1 is not going to give me enough ‘wears’ to decide if I like it enough to expend my entire monthly perfume budget on a FB. It has a bitterish green opening that really captured my attention, along with the incense and woods but faded quickly leaving only a faint musky finish that I can barely smell, even with my nose right on my wrist. I don’t get the longevity that other reviewers have mentioned. I think I will purchase a couple more samples, but at this point I don’t think it’s worth the price of a full bottle.
mezzo – :
like the bottle is simple , white , clean , minimalistic and fresh , is ok for summer
rsharip – :
I am wearing this for years now and didn’t yet comment on it because it’s one of the most difficult and unusual scents ever.
First of all, I like it. If any scent would be aptly titled “Alien”, maybe it would be this one. It’s one of those smells you can’t take your nose off, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you find it to be pleasant. Interesting, deep and sensual, yes, but these are different attributes than, say, beautiful or clean.
Secondly, on all those occasions that I have worn it I never ever got one single compliment. I expected that it would provoke at least something, as I consider it at least unusual if nothing else, but no.
Maybe it’s just not designed for humans? It is definitely not what humans of either sex find “sexy”. So, nobody seems to like it? Well, at least I did as long as my bottle lasted.

bandit432 – :
Sick of having to choose between Prada Amber Pour Homme and Thierry Mugler Cologne for a soapy-smelling designer scent? Add Margiela’s (Untitled) as a contender.
Margiela is my favorite designer and I was excited when I heard they were releasing a perfume. For those who don’t know about Margiela, it’s a straight-up fashion-forward fashion house, with mind-challenging designs and artwork…Coats made of garbage bags? check. Sweater made of assembled wool socks? check. A dress made of 12¨ vinyle discs? check… So of course I was expecting something rather ‘avant garde’, a la Comme des Garcons or Etat libres d’Orange..
Well, i was a little disappointed, especially at the early stage. The opening notes smell EXACTLY like an ashtray with old cigarette ashes/butts… Actually, I wanted something ..er .. different. And different it was.. But that weird smell lasted only 10-15 minutes and then came the soapy smell, which remains pretty linear (with that little green herbal scent in the background).
It’s refreshing, perfect for summer. It smell like laundered clothes drying on the (freshly cut) grass as they sometimes do in the south of France. Not bad, not groundbreaking either. A safe, office friendly scent, perfect for scorching hot days (once you get past the harsh opening).
Longevity is average, I get 5-6 hours and sillage/projection is quite weak (skin sent, 10 inches projection at best).
I’d give it a 7 /10.
If you wanna buy a Margiela scent, go for Jazz Club instead. Underrated gem!
Darkness – :
I love you Daniela. I am not sure what this reminds me of, but something I have worn before. The green to me is dark more than bitter. Hard to explain I guess. Words are not coming to me very well about this. There is something wafting up that is sweet while dark green at the same time. Possible the bitter and sweet of the bitter orange. Not sure, but the sweet does not linger long, but pops up once in a while.
Update: 16 hours going strong…2 sprays from a decant
robert24 – :
A wonderful bitter-sweet green…
This fragrance is like a reminder of the great chypre fragrances of the past, like Chanel Cristalle however this one is more adventurous and goes in new directions. But it is first and foremost a green fragrance with a bite!(untitled) opens up with bitter green galbanum, which, combined with the bitter orange and incense, gives the whole fragrance a very “bitter” vibe. This trio of “bitterness” combines with woody-green boxwood and dry cedar to add to the “greenness” of the scent, followed by white musk and a wonderful jasmine note which finally gives the fragrance extra depth and stops it being to bitter. Over time the galbanum gets sweeter, and the jasmine, orange blossom and musk contribute to this, but it stays sharp for a long time before calming down.
I enjoy this because sometimes I’m in the mood for a very bitter type of green fragrance. This does the job for me. Perfect for spring in my opinion, and while this isn’t my favourite green fragrance, it’s certainly the most green out of everything I’ve tried. If you are a nature or “green” lover, you should give this one a try.
windfury – :
This perfume starts with a blast of thick, bitter foliage and then lovely bland of blood orange and jasmine appears.
(Untitled) is all about blood orange and jasmine, really. And they are very well done together in this fragrance. There are also some: galbanum, cedar, little incense sneaked on the background, but their notes are barely pronounced.
This is an interesting fragrance. Dry down becomes very gentle and aromatic.
Must try for white floral lovers!
WareePeve – :
I only have a 0.5 ml sample of this, so I have to make up my mind after only one wearing, and that’s a pity because it’ll leave me wondering: would I still find it this weird and ultimately unconvincing after multiple wears?
I got this sample because of the bitter orange and galbanum, notes I love, but I don’t get any orange and the galbanum behaves in an unexpected and not altogether pleasant way here. In fact, I can’t really pick out any notes, but what dominates on my skin is a vaguely creamy, sour smell. It reminded me of something immediately, and after a while and a lot of sniffing I put my finger on it: it smells slightly like mayonnaise. At the same time it’s very resinous, which is a saving grace, because it actually doesn’t smell bad: it’s like someone mixed together mayonnaise and furniture polish, and somehow it turned out better than you’d think, but of course it’s not good either (you can’t expect that much from a mix like that).
I can’t imagine they were going for the mayonnaise/furniture polish vibe, so I wonder if this effect is my skin chemistry’s fault, or if my sample already went bad. I’ll try it again in a store if I ever see it around.
dirtydogg – :
I like! Once again, this was introduced to me by a fellow member who sent me a sample 🙂
This, to my nose, is not a “strange” scent. Not in the way, say, Cacharel’s Eden is. Yes, it’s different, but not in a repulsive way. (The fact that we all perceive scents differently is what makes being a member here so interesting. I suppose if this perfume were to remind me of horse stables, then I’d run the other way, too!)
Thankfully, this is a quieter green and citrus on me. There is a sort of sweetly sour note to it — a bit minty — which I find compelling. Like other reviewers, I also sense a smokiness — incense or tobacco — but only when I shove my nose down the top of my shirt. I don’t get the same note from my arms.
Not a loud perfume. Somewhat long-lasting. Pleasantly sour/sweet muskiness at dry down.
Li55i4ka – :
This is a gem, one of my favorites that I miss, will go for another bottle which is rare for me. Fresh, classy, cool green floral chypre, unisex, very lasting.

This simply isn’t made for me. Would be interesting though to smell it on someone it works for, because on me this wasn’t a good match!
verruch – :
An amazing scent. So different and complex…
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
It keeps evolving, offering pleasant surprises. I’m going to make a contradiction here, by saying it smells like nothing else but also reminds me of a lot of other fragrances.
My review is a personal interpretation – I appraised the scent before I knew the real notes, so if there are any inconsistencies don’t assume I haven’t read the Fragrantica description; it’s what I THOUGHT it was.
A clean, slightly citrusy, floral, bitter “green”, that matures into something a bit sweeter, then dryer.
First impression brought O de Lancome to mind.
It punches you in the face with an opening burst of lily-of-the-valley, like Diorissimo. But Diorissimo is cold, cold, cold, and this is not. Now I realize there is no lily-of-the-valley here, so it must be the combination of notes creating that illusion.
Then the “green” changes to resemble something like Versense (Versace). It remains sharp and bitter, which I attribute to galbanum, bitter orange and probably boxwood (I’ve never smelt boxwood).
But there is something sweeter underneath – the jasmine, musk and cedar. It’s very clean. Reminds me of English summer gardens just after rain. A lot like Jo Malone’s French Lime Blossom.
Then it drifts into Estee Lauder Pure White Linen territory… Airy and delicately floral, while still retaining the bitterness.
Then it becomes really complex. The warmth develops – a spice, not sure which one – pepper, cloves, amber, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon? At the same time the greenness grows, reminding me of Chanel No. 19 EDT. And the sweetness is still increasing…
Suddenly you realize the scent has changed direction. There is no more sweetness, and no more warmth. The flowers are cold and the spices are sharp. It has a slightly “musty” quality about it, like what you would find in an antique shop. In fact, it smells a lot like Cristalle by Chanel.
The base shows itself. It feels warm, sharp and very dry. At this point I’m suspecting woods and incense.
In its last stages you can still smell the bitterness and the floral quality, but you are overwhelmed by the dry, warm base. You are left with a calming stagnancy; a vintage staleness. Desirable or not? I’m not sure, but I will respect it for what it is.
Conclusion: for those of you who love bitter green scents, floral scents or light scents, give this a try. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but for people who dig this “type” of scent, it deserves an award it’s so good. Excuse my language, but this is bloody good…
There’s just one last thing I’d like to say about this fragrance. You expect it to be so minimalist it lacks character, like the clothes of Maison Martin Margiela (or at least my perception of them) and because of the bottle design and the name “(untitled)”. Instead you find a fragrance that is beautiful, with no lack of character.
trogvir – :
The first time I tried Untitled was unforgettable. That fresh, sharp, snap of something green was so welcome after encountering too many scents that smell like kool-aid and patchouli, usually applied way too liberally. One of my favourites since the 80s is Cristalle – I still love it. Untitled to me is Cristalle’s slightly edgier sister. Both a blast of galbanum.
DycleBeemiace – :
I really like the bottle design on this one. The scent however, is only moderately good. As a casual day-to-day-fragrance it’s ok – slightly soapy with just enough spicy edge to stand out a little.
For me, however, it’s just too casual. It’s meaningless. After a couple of days of wearing the sample, I was mostly bored.
kamilov_05 – :
Beware! At an initial test on skin or paper this will probably intrigue you: it comes across as subtle, complex, and ‘natural’, with an interesting interplay between bitter, green galbanum and some woody notes and incense. The trouble comes in the dry down: you find that what’s in the background is a very persistent set of synthetic notes reminiscent of fabric conditioner, dry cleaning agents, and over-ironed cotton (the kind of thing you find in Green Irish Tweed, only considerably less appealing). I don’t usually write ‘headache inducing’ in perfume reviews, but here goes: this is headache inducing. If you’re thinking of buying this, make sure you test it all the way through dry-down first. I was thinking, did test, and I’m glad I did …
bitcedrman0443 – :
Well…I just need to start by saying I had no preconceptions about this fragrance at all and approached it with an open mind.
I subsequently discovered that it was the product of Daniella Andrier a perfumer I respect highly due to her simple but creative approach. Obviously that doesn’t mean I like everything that she does but the vast majority of her works appeal to me.
{Untitled} for me is one of those cases where I think she’s hit on something special.
Perfectly unisex, wonderfully inoffensive and suitable for regular wear.
Galbanum, bitter orange, sweet jasmine cedar and incense…it’s great! These elements combine to make something very well blended and effortlessly green. It has a very natural accord without smelling like any one thing you’d find in nature…if that makes sense?
Maybe that could be interpreted as a sign of a truly well conceived fragrance?
I think so and I really like it but it’s not a priority for the collection just yet.
allex80ua – :
I wanted to love this ~ so, so very much ~ but it smelled like a sour mop and bong water on me.
I thought it was just me, as I can see these notes being super dependant on one’s chemistry, but it also smelled this way on my boyfriend as well as the sales associate.
I was so sad. I love incense, and the bottle is sleek.
I may try it one more time.
flash3230 – :
For me Untitled could be easily called Infusion d’Galbanum, but this, obviously, would cause problems with prada. Andrier transports the minimalist, silky style of the Infusion series into the green galbanum land. The accord here seems more like a purified and luminous version of the note, softening the rough bitter edges. It’s supported by a cologne-like accord, very citrusy but not sweet, a cream, velvet musk base with some incense edges. Somehow, it’s a very distant descendant of the ideas found in Chanel No 19, it only lacks the iris and the roothy aspects. Very beautiful fragrance.
azelnov – :
On first whiff, it smells like freshly cut saplings or branches: very green and acerbic. It’s definitely an unusual perfume. After a while the greenery subsides and you get a subtle warmth that’s both floral and spicy: like jasmine and incense. I’m not sure that I would like to wear it, but I appreciate how different it is to many richer scents.
