Smoking a Pipe and Biting into an Orange
And once again, an Essenzialmente Laura fragrance. I have long since passed on the scents, but I still had this comment, so I’m publishing it now; after all, I need to find something to annoy everyone here :D
Anyway, here comes Calabash. What the name has to do with the scent, I don’t know, since a calabash is actually a hollowed-out gourd used as a storage or drinking vessel or to make a musical instrument.
Regardless, fragrances are known to sometimes have the strangest names, so I’ll get right to “work” and describe this scent.
The scent:
The fragrance starts with both tobacco and the orange-like petitgrain. I find the combination a bit unusual, but not necessarily bad. The tobacco is light, slightly smoky, and occasionally reminds me of incense.
The petitgrain is fresh, but not necessarily citrusy.
Over time, the tobacco starts to resemble pipe tobacco, with a slight vanilla flavor. This makes it somewhat sweet.
The petitgrain almost completely disappears just a few minutes after spraying, leaving behind the previously described pipe tobacco with vanilla.
The sillage and longevity:
The projection of the fragrance is good and will be noticed by others. Even after hours, it occasionally wafts back into your nose. I think this scent could leave a small scent trail.
The longevity is not too bad. Sure, the fruity notes don’t last even an hour, but the vanilla pipe tobacco can be smelled for several hours, definitely six to eight hours.
The bottle:
Wouldn’t it be great if the bottle looked like a calabash? But no, once again the fragrance is housed in a champagne-like bottle, topped with a gray, cylindrical cap. Although it doesn’t look bad, it’s nothing more than an average bottle.
Well, Calabash. Somehow I like the name. I think it sounds great.
Ahh,… for some reason, the scent reminds me of my childhood. But of course, that was the time when my father occasionally lit a pipe with vanilla alongside regular cigarettes. Wow, that was a long time ago; I must have been four or five back then,…
In any case, the scent is not bad, it just doesn’t really smell like a fragrance, but rather, as described above, like someone just lit a pipe. However, anyone who wants to use it can certainly do so, as it offers a change from regular tobacco scents.
I don’t categorize the scent into a specific season, as I see it more as an all-rounder. It can be used as a daytime or casual scent, or perhaps for going out to eat or something.
A test might be worthwhile if you’re into tobacco and pipes.
