2Scent 0Longevity 2.5Sillage

Moldy Throat Lozenges

With Rayon Vert, I tested my last "fragrance" from the brand Artemisia.

I make no secret of the fact that this brand has not managed to convince me of natural perfumery; on the contrary! This scent experience makes me sing the praises of chemistry.

The other samples also gave me the impression that I was either applying an ointment, a rancid cream, or, as in the case of Rayon Vert, a moldy throat lozenge.

In the first quarter of an hour, the sprayed area smells like a mixture of licorice, anise, and a bit of stale menthol, before it retreats into a strange ointment scent on the skin. After about 40 minutes, the spell is over.

Well, regarding longevity, I have come to understand that most natural scents often do not reach the level of semi- and fully synthetic creations, but brands like Aftelier or Florascent have proven that it is possible to create wearable fragrances in this category.

After all that organic stuff, I now feel an uncontrollable desire for one of my synthetic fragrances from the house of CdG.

*nose wrinkle* - sounds like this series wouldn't even get a nod from my radical eco-friend... Poor thing! At least the ordeal was over quickly.

That was only enough for me to just about 50%.

Crossing damp roots with licorice and frangipani is quite a wild idea ;o) Be glad it doesn't hold like Pattex too!

"**Nasse Wurzel**" actually gave the right hint. I’ll check in the DaBa to see if the ingredient is available elsewhere...

Sometimes you need a scent that's just that bad. It puts things back in perspective for a while.

I'm currently so stuffed up - would this work as a nose-clearing, sore-throat fragrance *lol*? That would be something, medicinal scents...

One has to be grateful that the longevity is so poor :o)
