Relaxed Understatement
The green in the flag of the United Arab Emirates has many different meanings. In the series of Panarabic colours - red, white, black - green historically stands for the Fatimid dynasty, but also for love, hope and joy. Today, more than ever, also for the prosperity of the United Arab Emirates. Four fragrances from the Perfume Bays Collection therefore do not wear one of the flag colours mentioned without reason. In honor of the United Arab Emirates, for whom this fragrance series was created exclusively.
Solace comes in a beautiful, square, classic Boadicea bottle in green - with golden shield. And the green doesn't go better with any fragrance in the series either. Because here the Vetiver indicates a large part of the mood and with.
Immediately after spraying, the roughness of the Vetiver is wonderfully noticeable. But it comes in harmony with something fruity. I wouldn't have suspected lime here right away, as this fruit chord also appears quite bitter and completely without sweetness. Both support and give everything a herb, fresh note.
Increasingly, smoky wood is now being added. This is not dominant, but it introduces the third, homophonic chord of Solace. I don't notice pepper and rose water. It could be, however, that the warm, volume-giving note of the rose simply led to the rather fruity appearance of the lime and also took away (and takes away) its acidity. It apparently also ensures that the vetiver presents itself less and less softer.
I can only confirm the absence of a pyramid, as the Solace oscillates wonderfully balanced between fruity, green and woody for hours. All with a slight smokiness. After a good 8 hours the fragrance begins to open a little towards the drydown and creates space for a wonderful, warm musk wood finish until the fragrance actually closes in after a good 12 hours.
Solace is a vetiver fragrance that plays at eye level with woody-smoky chords and a minimal, unsweet fruitiness. He is incredibly suitable for everyday use, balanced - yes, almost relaxed. Exactly with this serenity the fragrance brings along what otherwise only Vetiver classics (mostly for men) from the last century created.
Only Solace transforms the theme so relaxed into the 21st century that he absolutely has what it takes to become a neo-classic.
