No presence on my skin
On the hunt for the perfect green scent, I recently picked up a number of samples from the house of DSH. Celadon was one of them.
Celadon is green, smooth and soft. It seems to avoid what I don't like in many green fragrances -- the harshness of modern Chanel 19, the white florals of Gucci Envy, the oakmoss of vintage green chypres, the difficulty of wearing Alliage. Celadon isn't green like any of those, which immediately makes it a contender for my love.
Celadon opens a bit herbaceous and then settles into a bit of powder (orris). A base doesn't present itself to me. In fact, this scent just seems to peter out on me ... two hours later, where is it?
Unfortunately, I think that's the problem: Celadon has no presence on my skin. It's close wearing -- too close wearing for my style & taste. It's more of an intimate skin scent on me with limited longevity. I suppose if Celadon had throw & longevity, then it wouldn't be the fragrance that it is, which is a soft, green velvet scent that is easy to wear. Excellent nonetheless, for about 2 hours. More OMPH and longer-lasting, and maybe this would be the green scent that I am searching for.
