Whispered elemi

I managed to get my hands on this perfume thanks to a generous offer, otherwise I would not have been able to have it given the not exactly insignificant cost. Having said that, I have always been attracted to the En Aparté line and have even been able to test samples, but that did not convince me. Irreverent seems to me to be one of the best in the collection, although it sins a little too synthetically for my taste. The perfume opens with an extremely, fresh but balsamic and invigorating note probably given by elemi (which is a note I love). Once it settles it becomes a whisper (perhaps exaggerated for the cost) and remains pleasant and reminds me a little of Sorcinelli's mystical atmospheres.

Autumn Whisper

Irrelevant?
Man..my brain sometimes leads me astray when reading quickly.
I always read Irrelevant..but that wouldn’t do justice to the fragrance.
The relatively few (but very good) opinions about the scent and the wonderful bottles made me very curious about the relatively new series from Histoires de Parfums.
Irreverent starts with an absolutely wonderful top note of slightly sweet-spicy resins and a sun-drenched incense. This has a slight fruitiness like Serge Lutens Fille en aiguilles, but to me it feels rounder and more complex. Everything about Irreverent smells wonderfully of a forest in late summer, the bushes still bear many forest berries in deep red colors, the mosses are still lush green, the woods almost dusty-dry, with only a little foliage on the ground..the first brown leaves are appearing..nostalgia for the almost gone summer arises, bidding farewell in stages, leaf by leaf, acorn by acorn. But the aromas, the spice of the forest create a desire for this season, even in terms of scent.
The longer the fragrance dances on the skin, the softer, rounder, creamier, and more balsamic it becomes. Unfortunately, it becomes a bit ordinary in the base, which is due to the recently very commonly used combination of amber-incense; normally, oud and/or saffron would also be present here. The sandalwood, however, leads one down a false trail. What I like about this amber variant is this slight caramel-honey touch, which beautifully rounds off the fragrance and brings it to a calm. A hint of leather gives it the finishing touch and saves it from mediocrity. The sweetness is well chosen, so that it misses the gourmand category, which is not a disadvantage. The scent smells very (high) quality and noble, yet is still very suitable as an everyday fragrance.
The longevity is beyond 6 hours and you perceive it well for a long time without ever being intrusive or overpowering.

Everyday suitability: 8/10
Feel-good factor: 9/10
Wow effect: 7/10
Price/performance: 6/10
Packaging/bottling: 10/10
Idea+implementation: 6/10

Good balsamic elemi opening, but its synthetic undertones and overly subtle drydown leave me slightly underwhelmed.

Pour 20ml of creamy lavender coffee paste with 80ml of resin syrup, stir well with a peeled pencil. Cheers, Mr. Pastor!

Lavender, citrusy + smoky, you envelop me with resinous-spicy sweetness, unfortunately without coffee. I’m into resin, so sweetness works too. And oud.
