The little brother of A Midsummer Dream?

Last summer I took part in a sharing of Roja's fragrance A Midsummer Dream and I was directly inspired by the scent. Its spicy and subtle note fascinated me very much. Even though I like the fragrance a lot and like to use my bottling on spring evenings when going out, the price seemed very high to me despite the rare occasions I would wear the fragrance.

But I was all the more surprised when a few days ago I took a previously unnoticed sample from my box and a splash landed on my wrist. The opening reminded me directly of the preciousness of Roja.

Daniel Josier has actually managed to compete with the AMSD. Even though the Roja is naturally not to be surpassed by its complexity, it is based on the same DNA.

The fragrance starts out slightly sparkling with the grapefruit and orange leaf notes, although the spicy notes are also immediately noticeable.

After a while the freshness recedes a little and a woody and spicy mix of pepper, violet, vetiver, cedar and musk emerges. The musk stays here very much in the background and is for me hardly smellable. However, I notice that the note holds the fragrance together and gives it something special in the basic substance.

The silage is well perceptible by my fellow men, but it was not perceived as oppressive or disturbing by my environment. The shelf life is a good 7 hours.

All in all for me a nice scent for going out in spring/summer and I am very happy to have found a cheaper alternative to AMSD

slippery classic

I love the green classic from Guerlain hot and intimate - not necessarily about me, more so in general. Vetiver I just like.
So I was full of hope to have found something in the scent of Josier that I would rather walk around in the wild myself. Thanks to Greeni07 and a bottling I could now test it extensively.

On my skin the scent starts with green grapefruit. Not so much with the fruit itself, but rather with what rises into my nose when I rub the skin - a fine, clear freshness that is not too intrusive and does not slip into the acidity on the skin, that promises more. I look forward to herbaceous, woody things.
Cedar and pepper take my beloved Vetiver by the hand, enter the arena with a fanfare and could be...
...they don't.

Just when the fragrance could become really green, clear and strong in character, something very kitschy comes to the fore - I suspect violets. My grandmother had on her toilet table in the bedroom (exactly, this mirror triptych from the 50s, Gelsenkirchen baroque) violet fragrance oil, right next to the bottle 4711, that occurred to me spontaneously.

I can't get that association out of the bouquet either. Whenever the fragrance is about to get the hang of what the pyramid in the base promises, the perfume goblin pants up again, retrieves the kitschy bouquet of violets for the dozenth time, shines at me and expects to finally be praised for it. Nope.

The attempt was nice, Mr. Josier, but you couldn't convince me. ;-)

Vetiver orange juice

Very interesting vetiver juice. It could be named as "Bigarade concentré vetiver geranium", it has the best of BC, VG and Geranium pour monsier (only the geranium part). Extremely mouthwatering orange start, very natural like a rich orange juice just in the way Bigarade from Malle does. You get the geranium vibe too, in a thin and deep way like Vetiver geranium by Creed does, mixed subtly with the vetiver in a luminous kind. Similar atmosphere that recreated the old terre d´hermes or the current red vetiver by Montale, but nothing mineral here, more of a woody and musky base, and the little hint of violet in the middle I think it just perfect, and rounded the composition. Nothing new or very innovate but seriously done. Don´t think in vetiver here, If you are looking for a fresh orange scent ornate with a golden, sparkling, and bright tones that last longer than an typical orange scent, then give it a try.
