An illusory lavender bouquet in the backseat of an invisible car
Past the initial cloud (which seems to be pretty toxic across the board in N.C.P. fragrances), there's a pleasant and reasonable juniper-forward composition. A musk and iris backdrop – soft, sort of powdery. A wee bit of sage.
Once everything mixes together and starts to evaporate from my skin, it gets harder to differentiate individual notes. A mellow cloud forms in my immediate vicinity. It's faintly spicy and almost... leathery? Or maybe this kind of scent is too entwined with cars in my mind, so my brain just adds the illusion of leather flavor on its own? Either way, it's nothing special, but it's welcome. I don't mind it being here. And so it goes on.
There is no lavender. Although I get the vibe they were trying to achieve and I do appreciate the artistic approach. It's very clean and airy. Lacks lavender's signature texture and earthiness. It's like trying to explain its smell to an alien who's never been to Earth, and always falling just a little bit short of nailing it.
It's theoretically lovable, but crumbles under the weight of my expectations. I adore the smell of hay, so knowing it's a part of the composition gets me very excited and inevitably let down. Unfortunately, this time was no exception. It was sweeter than I hoped it would be, with a stevia-like undertone. And while there was a bit of hay in the backdrop, it was a supporting character. A "Villager 3" in a school play. Can you believe it? That is my beautiful and talented hay daughter! The teacher must be blind not to cast her better, she deserved the lead role.
The composition, once initially settled, doesn't really change much going forward. It loses its sillage about ~1,5 hours in, and slowly gets softer from there for just as long. At ~3 hours in there's just soft musky base. In another hour it too is gone.
It was okay, but left me uninterested. And so my search for a juniper perfume I will fall for goes on.
