You vert, you bleu
I almost always like elemi-resin as the basis for a perfume, here it combines with petitgrain and vetiver. But I suspect that there's a lot more to this fascinating perfume than the pyramid suggests. Mosses, resins, maybe a bit of nutmeg, violet-smelling jonones... que sais-je? Everything can only remain a speculation, because nobody here will get to see a concrete perfume formula so quickly...
Perfumers rarely touch what they can think of. As far as the requirement profile for Alkemist 1758 is concerned, perhaps the aim was to develop a fragrance that would be unsweet, resinous and "blue-green". Rather meditative than serving as a "self euphoria".
I read "Alkemist 1758" as a fragrance that is relaxing, grounded, and allows for development. For me, the most interesting of the Papillon series
