Belle de Jour Eris Parfums 2016

Quite strange, it feels a bit "off," but I suppose that's how it's meant to be. Soapy associations like many mentioned in the statements, greenish, the whole arm is covered in soapy water, the pepper is also overwhelmed, coriander is the most present and comes through the soap in a very unappetizing way, it almost makes me feel a bit nauseous, you get that feeling in your throat that you don't want to smell too deeply, as it won't do you any good.

The allspice is rather less noticeable for me in the progression, labdanum and jasmine complement the coriander, while this soap note at least partially fades after about 30 minutes, instead it gains a certain mineral quality, lime, a bit of iodine, otherwise greenish, slightly aquatic, very unusual.

In the final part, the green-algal aspect increases a bit, but it never truly becomes a full-fledged aquatic; it always hovers a bit between worlds, floral-green-aquatic-weird. The Atlas cedar is also rather absent or not discernible on its own.

A very strange scent, not a fan, it has a base note that makes it really unpleasant in the first half hour to hour.
