Green breeze
Thomas Fontaine has quite a track record. He has revived a few legendary houses almost singlehandedly. Not by clever marketing, but by consistent 'nose skills'. No 8 is one of the several Eutopie releases with his name on it. But compared to his work for Le Galion, Patou or Lubin, this simply feels below par.
Overall I get a standard fresh breezy musk. It has a clear green appearance. Despite those greens it does not feel cold as there is a quite a bit of mastic resin going on as well. The sillage goes from huge to mild within minutes. It has ambrox-boost written all over it, but I do not find it disturbing. In fact, the whole scent has a 'not disturbing' vibe or 'better than nothing' at best. Bit of a monday morning job, Mr Fontaine?
