A tree to hug
No! Not like King Söder once did. Not in such a half-hearted and distant way. This tree from the house of ELDO, I want to hug it tight. Never let it go. And sniff it constantly.
I can usually do little with woody notes in perfumes. I'll happily put up with them as supporting actors/supporters, but when they take center stage, I quickly get bored. Woody notes are for me often unlively, inflexible, stubborn, boring and (too) dry.
Now here I have discovered a woody that truly blows me away. Whether synthetics play a role in the patchouli oil fractionation for the extraction of Akigalawood, I can not judge. Chemistry was unfortunately my weakest subject.
But god, is that woody note so authentic! It seems cool, breathy, smoky, alive, fresh (sawn), and partly damp. It is not somehow transparent or hazy to perceive. It is crystal clear, spicy looking, and close enough to touch. I feel very safe with it, and in the process, something familiar is triggered in me. Whether I have smelled a similar woody note in the forest, in my grandparents' village or even in other fragrances, I can't say. But the fact is that I do not get rid of this homey feeling.
And as if that were not enough, this brilliance is underpinned by a soft, powdery, subtly floral-sweet cream and partially fused together. In this, the wood doesn't lose character at all. Here I guess the careful dosage of vanilla and iris.
A certain relationship to the powdery note in "Eight & Bob - The Original" I can not deny. I had also very much liked there.
Here, supposed opposites make great theater. Even if the cool wood is dominant in relation to the creamy-blue-warm note, a surprisingly successful contrast was still created here. And I find the color gradient of the bottle reflects this also skillfully! Even if there are no major changes in the fragrance itself, the continuous balance between the actors is admirable.
