Let's talk about what an imaginary helicrysum reformulated aroma would smell like.
Well, now we're facing an intriguing perfume here.
Luxe Patchouli!: here is where I got a formal reminiscence of something I already have tried: a dejavú. I'm sure it's not only me, but I detect the helycrisum flower all the time.
Can't be possible, as is not shown in the pyramid... Or can it?
It start s off a little nauseating really, not very pleasant, as the presumptive inmmortelle flower note is sticky, oversweet and kind of syrupish. There's a hint of dark, deep burnt wood or paper-like scent going on, muddy possibly, blending with an arid and strong pepper note.
Suddenly all becomes even drier and the composition gets impregnated with fenugreek, a well known plant that is used as one of the major ingredients of curry thus producing an aroma of curry.
The perfume becomes softer an hour or so after application, and the lovage plant (levintiscum) with a vague odour of celery approaches hand by hand with suffocated notes of oak wood, and the raising patchouli, mysterious and cloudy, even smoky, playful, showing off at times and hidding itself constantly while the oppopanax covers all, slowly giving a rich, creamy, twist of gold to the whole perfume.
I can't detect much vanilla (good), and the syrupy helycrisum still lingers in the background, almost enough to be dismissed.
It stayed for an age on my flesh. it's a good interpretation of the popular patchouli scent, clever I must say, but very personal. Perfectly unisex, but tending to the masculine.
The fragrance on its own is simply overpriced. It's talented and complex for sure, but there are other different interpretations around the market, (better, in my opinion), priceless, and with more character.
