Shades of forest green and hues of woody brown
Après is probably one of the... Nah, the most complex perfume of Ellis Brooklyn's lineup. I do have to say I'm usually not a fan of certain notes in this perfume (whiskey, woods and suede) which is why I placed it at the end of the box where it was going to be one of the last I'd be trying. I was wrong and overall pleasantly surprised by it.
At first spray, it smells like a deep canadian pine forest, burried beneath glistening snow. A mix of deep greens and hues of woody browns. It's a fragrance fit for winter and the heart of winter only. I really don't see myself wearing it at any other moment. Spices are really prominent on my skin. I recognized saffron and cardamom immediately and although I'm a bit unfamiliar with juniper berries, I could smell an accord of fresh spiciness probably from this note. Whiskey, suede and praline combine to give off a sweet woody and leathery accord. The smell sometimes shifts into a wood shaving scent as if I were sharpening a wooden pencil, but there's a sweetness in it that keep it from going the wrong way. The drydown is mainly woody vanilla although the patchouli gives it a darker, earthy scent.
Since I'm not a woody perfume gal, it won't make it in my collection, but I'm quite happy I got to try this one. It's complex, has a lot of depth and is probably the most niche one out of Ellis Brooklyn. It's not a blind-buy as there are many ways the perfume could turn out wrong, but it's still a really beautiful fragrance for those who love woody, sweet accords.
