Esencia 2.0
Yes, it was the bottle that somehow drew my attention. To Selfridge's new Esencia. I wore the "old" Esencia EdT quite often in my first summer at Parfumo. Then somehow too rare. So the fragrance first got into the past and then out of my collection. Green he was. A little edgy. Own and therefore very good.
The Eau de Parfum has, in short, only remotely something in common with the green EdT. It enters directly into a very vivid lavender note and creates with some vetitver green (and its minimal bitterness) a signature directly. In fact it has a more serious touch than e.g. Floris' 1976, which also uses this combination as a basis for citrus and wood.
Nevertheless, the Esencia EdP remains fresh and yet somewhat muted. Adult. The combination of just a few fragrance components is simply wonderful for this fragrance. He doesn't play great through pyramid (which he doesn't have) or pushes ISO E Super or Ambroxan out of the base for sheer helplessness (and deliberate mass suitability).
No, it is a clear statement of how fragrances are developed today. Esencia Eau de Parfum is clearly the even evening version of the classic. Which is quieter. Collected. And yet very powerful. The top note (as is so often the case when increasing the concentration of perfume oil) almost completely fades out and enters directly into the fragrance theme.
The sandalwood "ignites" quite late and basically provides a soft drydown when vetiver and lavender slowly dim over the hours. The combination with the mossy, woody-earthy components ultimately makes him a whole gentleman. With matching silage and shelf life of around 7-8 hours.
This fragrance - thanks to its blend and concentration - is unfortunately not often to be found under the nose. He should definitely be in the standard repertoire of Loewe or at least of Selfridges, if it has to be an Exclusive
