A Complex Floral-Leather Quasi-Chypre
I recently discovered a cache of Humiecki & Graef samples which I had apparently set aside because I could not read what the labels said. (-; The samples were originally from Aus Liebe zum Duft, and I could not tell whether they were only partial samples to begin with or they were full but evaporated! I suspect the former. On reflection, I believe that these were sent to me by a fellow fragrance traveler in Switzerland--who has excellent taste!
CLEMENCY opens with a quasi-galbanum-esque quality beloved to chypre aficionados, and it mingles enticingly with leather. At first, I thought that this was going to be too rough and sharp, but within a couple of minutes it smoothed out to produce a seriously full-bottle-worthy perfume. The woods, the leather, and the light rose note make this a fine choice for gals or guys. To my nose this is closer to a floral-leather chypre than an oriental composition.
Not at all sweet, but with enough florality to balance the leather, CLEMENCY is a perfume which I can highly recommend for testing by people who like real perfume. (You know who you are...)
