Green Vanille

If the leaf of vanilla had a smell, this would be Creation.

Probably the open is a bit disturbing for someone, this is acrid and leafy/lymphy before to turn into a fresh "green" hesperid spicy musky ambery vanilla scent.
I presume the ispiration, based on the name and on the essential bottle, was an exploration around the origins of the perfume. An European/indian essential scent. Citrus flowers resins patchouli and vanilla make a real basical and unisex light luminous chypre/oriental fragrance.
La Perla Creation remains leafy and dry warm vanilla-mandarin/citruses all the time but during the heart/drydown I sense a sort of far subtle shadow of musc ravageur resemblance.

This is a real brilliant creation, quite original, and not fully understood scent.

Mistakes Were Made
I have a 1oz bottle of La Perla CREATION which I'm afraid will never be drained, as it smells very uninviting to my nose. I've tried to wear it a couple of times, but I find the opening quite unpleasant, and then when that subsides I'm left with, aside from a mild feeling of relief, the lingering scent of a vat-produced synthetic juice with no delineable natural notes detectable by my nose.

I only wish that I detected benzoin or patchouli in this chemical soup, but I don't. All I really smell are vague solvents attempting to mimic flowers. Rather like some of the scarier Vicky Tiel perfumes I've tested. I always try to approach fragrances with an open mind, aware that I may not "get" something that someone else might. But, in truth, I cannot recommend this confused creation to anyone.

I don't know whether my bottle is bad or it just does not smell very good because it never did in the first place. To be perfectly frank (quoi d'autre?) this strikes me as a mistake. Does any perfumer take credit for the creation of CREATION? If not, I understand why. Désolée.
