Havana

Artemisia Natural Perfume 2008

This mixture from the house of Artemisia also fails to impress me, rather it confirms my prejudices against bio-fragrances.
In contrast to Eros, which smelled quite acceptable, I find Havana to be unharmonious and annoying over a long period.

Of the notes listed in the pyramid, I can only perceive two: clove and wood. The clove must have spent quite some time in the fresh air before being forced into a fragrant marriage with the also somewhat musty cedar wood note. The result is a strange scent accord that reminds me of stale spice residues on a wooden shelf.

The longevity is (unfortunately in this case) somewhat better than Eros, but this mixture also doesn't last more than 3-4 hours, and like with Eros, the sillage decreases enormously quickly.

This creation also carries that unpleasant self-knitted touch and, in my opinion, is not a truly wearable perfume.

I am curious whether all the fragrances from this brand develop like this, or if there might still be a gem among them.
