Relayer/Sound Chaser

Hiram's recent Arcadia is of a fougere nature: the fern, odorless, yet evocative of one of the most iconic scents, is exquisitely expressed in this work. The opening is bracing, like the rush of the chilled wind atop Mt. St. Helen in the rainy Fall - when the snow is not thick, but begins to lightly envelop the branches of the Pacific Silver Firs. The rose and jasmine combine with bergamot and an astringent lavender to recreate in essence a more "realistic" interpretation of the infamous English Fern (Penhaligon's). Whereas English Fern wears dense, artificial, and currently waxy in way, Arcadia is sheer, effervescent, and - expectedly - natural. Keep in mind though that the opening is quite bracing, perhaps jarring upon initial blast with this “wintergreen” slap.

The base expresses itself with a smooth transition to the cooling tonka that imparts an unsweetened vanilla touch imparted with a nutty, smooth cashmere-like scent. Comforting and hypnotic in it it's pull.

Men and women alike will enjoy, but certainly engage if you enjoy Molinard's Lavande, Rania J's Lavande 44, Penhaligon's Sartorial and English Fern, Houbigant's Duc de Vervins, and even Brut by Faberge!

Hiram's Arcadia is the clearest, most evocative of the imaginary fern smell that we all know and love. Test first.

Foresty Fougère

We start deep in the forest with that riot of green, and a little sour: I smell bergamot and lavender, yes, but an unlisted galbanum, fennel, and something a lot like yerba mate. Les Heures de Cartier: L'Heure Fougueuse did something rather similar, but this is more complex and more green.

As it unfurls, the lavender becomes more soapy and dry, with a hint of something animalic in the background (perhaps civet), as tonka, patchouli, sandalwood and rosewood move forward in the composition. Still, there is a slight “frosty” and green quality this fragrance never fully loses.

Few fougeres smell as overtly botanical as Arcadia. Green, bitter, tart, herbal, and anisic, and powdery, a little animalic, it's complex and interesting without losing its lavender core.

A warning, though: even as someone who gets massive longevity from most fragrances, this is a brief affair, with gentle sillage.

Green and floral but a little dirty

This is a fragrance that has the DNA of the house when it comes to making floral perfumes.
It is a very soft and natural scent, with a green character, green like Hiram Green. But with some beautiful flowers, this time a little "dirty".
I like that point of dirt that I imagine comes from spices, it is a different touch in the line of the house.
It is an easy-to-wear perfume, which most people will probably like, extremely versatile in its use, but I would prefer spring-summer and daytime mainly.

The performance part, well, what is expected in this type of perfumes and in this house, very moderate in duration and little silage and projection.

Lovely green snapshot of the woods

Upon my initial spray, I thought I made a mistake and would have to scrub it off. The opening is a very strong and spicy lavender that I mistook for pine. Once the more volatile compounds dissipate, sandalwood and jasmine glow through the spicy resins. It's lovely. It kind of reminds me of a hike through a pine forest when you get a whiff of fresh air and junipers or a patch of wildflowers that are just up wind from you, but amped up and concentrated. I feel like having this on makes me notice other smells around me differently, like my pencil smells almost salty to me. It smells so natural. It kind of enhances the world around me. Of course that's just what I think, my spouse said it reminded him of moth balls :')

a journey to Arcadia

A dream, not only of the German poets and painters of the Romantics:
Arcadia, a kind of paradise where people live in harmony with nature; in a region of unspoiled nature, happiness and simplicity.
I also immediately remember paintings that transpose pastoral scenes into a fantasy landscape, creating the feeling of a true idyll.
Antoine Watteau in particular transports us through many of his painted scenarios into this kind of landscape of many shades of green and brown with richly dressed ladies and gentlemen at the center. Back then (at least in France), people were not quite so particular about sheep, goats and shepherds, whether male or female:
The main thing was the effect! The main thing was the effect!
"Arcadia", Hiram Green's fragrance experience, also transports us to the south, taking us to a more rustic area of a scented landscape.
This is because strong lavender, in bloom but also already weedy, dominates the picture, with citrus fruits greeting us ripe and bright at the edge.
Resinous smoky mists hang over the land and lead into a centerpiece of ripe, rich rose blossoms and large bushes of white-flowered jasmine with spicy dark green foliage.
Both sensual aromas mingle with a hint of spice that carries a memory of "1,001 Nights", although they don't seem particularly exotic to me.
Not delicate, but very harmonious spicy-green is this composition so far:
It is pleasing, even if it is not exactly pleasing (in the mainstream sense).
The great seducers of the base fragrances invite you to the grand finale:
Patchouli, dark, earthy and once again erotically dirty, and sandalwood, as usual creamy-animalic.
The result is a pleasure for the senses, somewhat softened by tonka bean's sweetness, but quite ready to immerse yourself in this "Arcadia" fragrance painting and take a closer look at the shepherd's game on offer there:
Can you hear the sound of the shepherd's flute and the bells of the flock?

With this creation, Hiram Green takes you into a densely woven labyrinth of green tones and golden-brown resins, with a flowery, slightly oriental-spiced heart and a lot of "down-to-earthness", to give the eroticism from the base a different name.
This idyllic fragrance is appealing, even if it is not as romantic as you might expect from the introduction, but it is beautiful and wearable.

There are fragrance trips that never get boring and always leave you wanting more! This trip to "Arcadia" is one of them!
