My dream chypre now is real
Definitely chypre vibes, although a little unusual. The chiaroscuro contrast is expressed through a fresh citrusy initial blast and a deep matrix of vetiver and oud. I clearly smell the green profile of the oud variety, giving a distinct greenery to the perfume. There are hints of soapy and barbershop. The indolic and dark sambac jasmine dominates the whole heart, it is rather camphored at the beginning but evolves into a more creamy jasmine-tuberose combination as the hours go by. I can find the rosemary mentioned in the pyramid, which I perceived as an aromatic balsamic green note, with a typically mediterranean emanation. Both castoreum and natural deer musk support this lashing and narcotic composition, giving three-dimensionality and carnality to the most herbaceous and indolic/camphored part, although not overwhelming. The performance is very high, it lasts about 12 hours and has a remarkable projection. For me CN is a perfect perfume that could become my signature scent, I was looking for a spectacular chypre without aldehydes (they bother me) and this is definitely what I was looking for.

Invigorating
The perfume had an invigorating effect on me right away, comparable to menthol, only it doesn't smell like menthol. Simply narcotic. In the opening, I get a lemony tropical yuzu fruit
Creamy flowers in the heart
that blend with creamy musk. The Papua oud in the base
adds an extra sweet dark depth and a green earthy character. A wonder full of natural chypre scent. The best I have smelled so far.

Yuzu harmonizes wonderfully with the moderately jungle-earthy & moist notes of oud, which tones down the floral notes to seriousness.

It really delivers! Very refreshing and clean. I'm not a fan of Chypre at all. This is my first exception! However, without moss.
