A fragrance as an olfactory echo of the New Wave era! The opening with cool mint and aldehydic freshness feels like the first sharp sound of a guitar in the damp basement of a terraced house in Manchester - clear, precise, and penetrating. At the heart unfolds a rather dry, almost graphite-like iris with a powdery, slightly metallic aroma. This is underpinned by sandalwood and amber as a subtle contrast that creates a somehow starker warmth.
Unfortunately, the longevity of the fragrance is very low, and the sillage remains rather restrained. Like a quiet, barely perceptible whisper, 1979 New Wave fades quickly. Not as loud as the name would have you believe. Overall, a cool, elegant scent with a very special "pencil iris" that captures the essence of a musical era. Fragile, concise, and poetic at the same time. A fragrance with precise, cool aesthetics and a masterful Ropion for 80s enthusiasts!
