Silver-green Scottish mists
I've never been to Scotland in person, but I "know" it from documentaries and films. Rugged Highlands, dense forests, lochs and mountains, streams and moors. Long-established clans, each with specially patterned kilts, many of them upholding old family traditions.
And special smells and flavors that result from the landscape and climate.
Fine morning mist that sometimes wafts over meadows and forest floors even on midsummer mornings. Mostly tart and fresh nasal delights that open up.
And "Castle Forbes" is a traditional Scottish private fragrance house that bottles these scents. One of the most "classic" representatives is this special vetiver fragrance.
The fresh breeze of black pepper, its peculiar spiciness, which blends with the cypress aromas, the aromatic-coniferous cedar wood, which gives the impression of a coniferous forest. And the grassy, earthy notes of vetiver, which dominates the fragrance. Inspired by bright citrus fruits. The perfume has a clear statement in the truest sense of the word "CLEAR", because it reflects a wonderfully grounding and at the same time bright mood, reminiscent of highlands, lake and forests. The circle closes again.
The special thing about this "vetiver representative" is just as beautiful as it is somewhat mysterious. Because every time you think the fragrance has faded or evaporated, a strong whiff of it hits your nose. And it lingers for many hours. No, the "sillage" is not room-filling, more like "individual light" that gently illuminates a room but never dazzles.
TOP CLASS!!!
