Higher Peace 19-69 2021

The concept "bottling counterculture" of the niche brand nineteen sixty nine (19-69) from Sweden lures me again and again with its fragrances produced in Italy and names with reference to the pop culture of the late 60s and early 70s. The latest creation "Higher Peace" I then immediately acquired as a blind purchase and was initially really disappointed, probably also due to my high expectation level. The fragrance seemed strangely incongruous to me with extremely dominant benzoin notes. - How did I deal with it? First gain distance, let time pass and in a relaxed moment once again bring out the bottle and give the fragrance composition a chance.
On a rainy day at the end of July it was then once again so far to try Higher Peace and the fragrance I suddenly liked very well. The soft-spicy bouquet with a hemp center on a slightly green-sweet base surrounds on such a day with a very pleasant aura. Especially with niche fragrances, I have already noticed that, similar to a good red wine, they first have to "settle down", "calm down" after a transport, before the potential comes to the fore and shines in harmony. Also, niche fragrances are m. E. significantly more sensitive to weather than industrial fragrances produced on a larger scale.
Today I can recommend "Higher Peace" to all those individualists who are looking for a special and yet portable fragrance for a mild rainy day and also appreciate a touch of Laurel Canyon (music scene with Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young etc.). Higher Peace halt
