Green, Blue
Elemiharz as a base for a perfume almost always appeals to me, here it connects with Petitgrain and Vetiver. But I suspect that there is much more in this fascinating perfume than the pyramid reveals. Moss, resins, maybe a bit of nutmeg, violet-scented ionones... que sais-je? Everything can only remain speculation, as no one is likely to see a concrete perfume formula here anytime soon...
Rarely do perfumers just mix whatever comes to mind. As for the requirements for Alkemist 1758, it may have been about developing a scent that is unsweet, resinous, and should appear "blue-green." More meditative than serving "self-euphoria."
I read "Alkemist 1758" as a fragrance that relaxes, grounds, and allows for development. For me, the most interesting one from the Papillon series.

A busy, feminine-leaning and violet-led perfume, too florid for my taste, like an overenthusiastic tour guide you would prefer to shake off.

Not sweet, resinous, blue-green, uplifting. Grounds, relaxes.
Your thoughts and feelings float through the night, unburdened.

From an exotic-fresh-soft opening
(reminds me of Aloe Vera)
to a gentle, blooming pink pepper
to a green-smoky-dry vetiver base

Greener than expected. Warm resins and unfortunately an unpleasant sweaty-medical note. Why?
