Past adventures

I am completely fascinated by these seemingly prehistoric adventures, which with their charm remind me of a time when people were still able to play and live in the face of nature full of wonder and happiness.
I don't know how many correlates Pissara 'Ploi' Umavijani has incorporated into her perfume Issara, released in 2016, and certainly not how many of them are of natural origin, yet smelling and wearing this fragrance reminds me like no other of being outdoors in nature, even here, right in our garden or a stone's throw away in the small mixed forest. Smells from childhood are awakening - we played outside a lot.

Issara is like an intimate embrace of the evening sun, it gives peace and a feeling of freedom. The fragrance starts with a light pine breath, mildly aromatic and soft vetiver breeze evokes associations of freshly mown hay meadows and pine needles fallen on forest soil, before a soft tonka bean almond arranges the perfect embrace with the help of oak moss and other forest notes.

The sweetness is only dabbed, never overstrained. In general, Issara has a durable but never pushy, offensive appearance, and she doesn't need any intentional attention. It remains complex enough here, one suspects the value
It's just nice that this perfume found its way to me. As soon as I wear it, I feel safe and secure, like I'm at home and standing inside myself. Hush.

Thank you, Mrs. Umavijani, for you one of mine rare 10/10.

My personal hay favorite

For quite a while I was looking for a fragrance that brought a dry and classic hay note. A question in the forum in the experienced Parfumo world has brought quite exciting fragrances to light. After testing some promising candidates, however, the disappointment, nothing there what my nose was looking for. Hay was quite recognizable in some fragrances, but often overlaid by other components.

A valuable tip for me, however, was the advice to look for fragrances that avoided strawflower or coumarin as a fragrance component in the pyramid.

Equipped with this advice, I have thus made myself again on the search and lo and behold, much sooner than I thought I found exactly the fragrance I was looking for. Well, at least almost!

Thanks to a tip I have from Dusita already the fragrance Erawan kennelernen may. Since I felt this very special I thought to myself, I just look at what this brand still has to offer so.
It did not take long until "Issara" has fallen into my eye.
I was initially a bit ambivalent, because in the existing comments and statements I have read very little, which should go in the direction, which I was aiming for.
Nevertheless, the dominantly stated coumarin note then moved me to order a sample.

Sample arrived. Sprayed:
Minute 1 : "Ne ne, the is nothing!"
Minute 2 : "Oha, he's not going to..."
Minute 5 : YES! That's exactly the scent I wanted. Hay, dry hay. Like in an old barn in the attic where cut grass is stored.
Minute 10: Oh yeah, it lasts!

Minute 30: "What's that now?"
I had to think for a moment, a scent component familiar to me and also positive to me creeps in. It's woodruff. I associate with this crept-in DNA quite clearly woodruff, in combination with my favorite hay note a dream.
That was not planned so, but "Issara" probably knew about my preference for woodruff :)

The fragrance is anything but boring, again and again join olfactory notes, which integrate almost perfectly and do not let the fragrance seem one-dimensional or linear.
Vetiver can often take over the dominant component, here I find him very cuddly and gentle.

The fragrance generally seems more friendly, harmonious and very balanced as you look at the progression. It is not a classic green spice bomb, I feel "Issara" also not as herbaceous or the like. In the course, a discreet, very pleasant and mild sweetness develops in addition.

In sum, this fragrance fascinates me, because it brings me in the end even more than I was aiming for. While "my" hay note, as I imagine it, is not as prominent over the entire course as it is in the first 30 minutes, it is there, and exactly as I wanted it to be! The great woodruff note unintentionally refines my wishful thinking, so I can say: I am very happy to have discovered "Issara".

The durability of the fragrance is pretty good, lasting 8 hours without a problem. His transformation is thereby but clearly perceptible, vorallem in the last 3 hours.

He's shooting up the weeds

Issara is another very nice fragrance from Dusita.

The fragrance clearly begins with the herbs. The comparison with Ricola, which somebody here has put up, I don't think is so wrong. But I personally don't mind it. I think it smells good. A bit medicinal maybe, but good
I can feel the jaws, too. But there's something else that doesn't appear in the notes. At least on my clothes the scent looks very chocolaty with a shot of alcohol. This may be due to the oak moss, which gives off a slightly chocolaty scent, at least when smoked. But I don't know if the synthetic one, which unfortunately has to be used, can be used. Even some of the bourbon-vetiver oils I have have have a chocolate note. Maybe that's where the impression comes from.

Besides, Issara is one of the few perfumes where I can clearly smell the ambergris. So this one deserves a special mention. My favorite scent is easy to identify, and I think it's real or damn well synthesized. But that would surprise me, because I haven't smelled such a good synthetic Ambergris yet.

All in all a very successful composition. This is common to all Dusitas. There really is no perfume from this house that I don't like. It is rare and speaks for Pissara Umavijanis art. I find Issara's sillage and durability on the skin a little weak, though.

Hansel and Gretel in Southern France

In the south of France, in front of a large forest, a poor woodcutter lived with his wife and their two children (...)
Early in the morning the woman came and took the children out of bed. They received their piece of bread, but it was even smaller than the previous time. On the way to the forest it crumbled Hansel in his pocket, often stood still and threw a crumb on the ground (...)
When the moon came, they set out, but they found no more crumbs, for the many thousands of birds that fly about in the forest and in the field, they had picked them away.

For me Issara by Dusita was a surprise in two ways. On the one hand because the sample found me as an addition of a lovely perfume, on the other hand because I like it so much.

The fragrance opens with a note that reminds me of amazingly authentic, freshly sliced bread made from sourdough. A little floury, a little dry, a little sour. This may sound strange, but it smells very valuable and I like it! This note gradually dissolves in earthy-dry vetiver, dried pine needles and cones and all sorts of pale dark, spicy green.

Hansel and Gretel get lost in a Mediterranean pine forest, sprinkle their bread on cabbage and moss. Sometime however the bread is gone and there is only the forest left, which is however light and warm.

This scent is as hard and edgy, as dry and brittle as a southern European coastal forest at forest fire hazard level 5, and yet there is also something lovely in it
And when Hänsel and Gretel are very quiet, they can't hear the sound of waves striking high cliffs far away and smell a breath of salty sea air from time to time.

For me is certain, I will test further of this brand unknown to me so far. If this one will be on my wishlist is not sure yet, the price is quite remarkable (5,90/ml).

Completely new territory

...the perfumes are Dusita, not comparable to anything that has ever been before. I'm not sure if they are simply ingenious or if they are just simple, some basic substances have been mixed together...because you can smell some notes very strong and recurring.
This benefits Issara (coumarin), others like Oudh Infini are an affront to my nose.
Issara is characterized by a bluntly strong coumarin note, the pure substance and not too little of it. At the same time, it seems to me to drown in rubbing alcohol, of course, looking at the note explains it: pine. A somewhat old-fashioned wood/shaving water note in the background - which in the course of time pushes forward and makes the fragrance rounder, it generally develops to more creaminess and musk.
I have never smelled anything like it and I know nothing comparable. Recommendation for women and men, very individual and expressive
