Right to the heart
Sometimes it feels like certain scents have found their way to you without you ever looking for them
I can no longer remember how I came across Miguel Matos, probably as so often, as an enclosure of a nice fragrance mail, which animated me to order a sample set of the own brand appeared under his name. That was olfactory new territory for me and creative in the best sense, even if no fragrance of it could animate me to a purchase.
A short time later, a brand appeared under novelties here on the home page under the name "The Scent". And again Miguel Matos is with two fragrances with in the game, which I have also tested and assessed with the same result as above. And a short time after that, the comment of a parfumo I hold in high esteem about a fragrance (in the extrait version) that was the winner of the "Art and Olfaction Awards 2020". Young Hearts, that is, by Miguel Matos. Can this still be a coincidence?
Miguel Matos shows up on Instagram as a modern hipster in his prime. Black scruffy beard, some bizarre tattoos and brimming with masculinity attributes. I sincerely hope he's not one of those hipsters who starts crying when sweat washes the anti-aging eye cream off their eyelids in front of their pupils while exercising, instead of being a bear-hunting grim recluse. But opposites can be charming and yes, I admit it, in my bathroom is also eye cream ;)
Young Heart comes in 3 versions. The EdP version reviewed here, an Extrait which doesn't seem to be available at the moment and the Pure Essence version. Fragrance oil concentration and accordingly the prices in ascending order.
Young Hearts EdP starts green, unusual and different. Already at the beginning will divide the spirits, some will turn away and ask "what is this?", the others will be enraptured "wow, that's something new".
With me immediately a rubbery glue association spreads. Glue in which green flowers and leaves were soaked for weeks. Flavored glue so, penetrating, expressive, extraordinary. Synthetic? No, but also not really to be associated with natural aromas known to me. At most, I could identify galbanum here. That it's also described as gum resin reinforces my initial glue association.
Even though rose plays a small role here, I wouldn't consider the scent floral. Rather, oakmoss seems to put a stop to any sort of sweetness or florality. The tartness, however, is not off-putting or austere like many chypre scents, but perfectly balanced. Chypre at all: according to the website, this is supposed to be a modern interpretation of the theme. In a blind test, I probably wouldn't have guessed a chypre, Young Hearts is too independent and different. So it's true what it says: this really is a very contemporary variation of the old theme. As it progresses, everything calms down a bit, becomes softer, more accessible without changing its character. A development of the fragrance towards other fragrance spectrums I can not detect.
The projection is perfect, in my opinion. Young Hearts is not a fragrance to be worn on its own. He is definitely also perceived by the more distant environment without exuberantly radiating (prudent dosage provided). The durability I also feel very satisfactory, Nachsprühen is not necessary here in the course of a working day.
Although my fragrance collection covers a very wide spectrum of my various preferences Young Hearts is a solitaire, which adds new facets without being even remotely similar to another of my fragrances. Never before have I smelled anything similar. The more often I wear the fragrance, the more I like it, the otherness becomes more familiar, the fascination remains.
Miguel Matos is for me a star and the perfumers. With numerous creations in recent years, he is a stirring artist (currently 49 fragrances since 2018) who currently seems to be going full throttle. Just now, another 4 fragrances have been released under his own brand. For me, it's only a matter of time when Victor Wong of Zoologist and he get together to get a new beast up. At least I would like that very much, logical it would be all.
