The green fairy´s low dance

„Green notes“ listet above as top note of Paname are usually guarantor for my disfavour.
Grassy, fresh and healthy natural scents do not touch me. But there is this dark, velvety green, that I first met in „Narcisse Noir“ by Caron, that amazes and charms me.
This „low“ green is the green that embraces me in Paname.

The note „absinth“ is surprisingly recognizable. Truly absinth-like, it is deep, sweet herbal, spirituous and dark-green. It is reminiscent of the hard liquor absinth and it brings with it some association of intoxication and soul-floating. Fresh, but in a restrained, paradoxical way anti-fresh in the same time.
„Low“ as well.

The vermouth note is tributary to the absinth, but nevertheless recognizable. It gives a dry, slightly bitter accent and underlines the acerbic spirituousness.

Paname is not loud. It intrigues with an unusual orchestration of „green“ and demands attention for a fine composition of deep and low effects.

In the late middlenote and distinctly with the drydown, Paname turns sweet, tonka-creamy, calm and very harmonically melodious. The sweet herbal aspects become sweet spicy aspects and a woody tone gives stableness, while the dark and low green melts into cream.
In the end, the interesting, demanding and challenging perfume turns "nice".
