Green wood and feathers in vanilla dust
Vanilla Planifolia, lat. for spice vanilla, an orchid plant. So not vanilla + orchid, or vanilla + spice, no, vanilla = spice vanilla = orchid, just to clean things up a bit.
The hobby of scent-testing increasingly entails having to slowly but surely become a botany nerd as well, after all, you want to know what weed you're smelling like right now. So today (like yesterday) I'm scenting for an orchid plant.
And what can I say, it's wonderful. The scent starts very briskly and directly with a concentrated load of green, so green that it drips in front of my inner eye. Not lawn mower greenery, it reminds me more of freshly peeled or chopped wood from willow branches that have just sprouted. Full of sap, full of readiness to put all available energy into the young buds and fresh shoots of spring (if you haven't chopped us up first, of course) The whole thing almost seems a bit milky and would quickly turn bitter if it weren't for the vanilla.
I perceive it actually very cool, clear, dry and clean, but also soft and delicate. But I just think that's more the overall impression of the scent, created by the combination of the milky bitter greenwood with the soft, slightly dusty vanilla.
Spiciness as such I do not perceive (fortunately), but I think there is definitely a component that prevents the fragrance from becoming too cool, even sterile. That could possibly be dill, maybe even a touch of cinnamon. But definitely not single out to smell.
Clear, delicate, soft and also quite linear shows this experience of wearing and for me the fragrance has everything that makes a skillful composition. With nothing overloaded, vanilla as an unkitschy carrier, slow unfolding without episodes of one-sidedness.
Beautiful for the spring
