I have a vague memory of art class in elementary school. Before the school year began, our parents received a long shopping list, which included a Pelikan watercolor set. The small model with twelve colors. In retrospect, this was a very sensible decision, as my less discerning classmates managed to turn the pristine pigment circles into a dirty dozen in no time. I quickly realized that less is more here as well. Red and blue make violet, blue plus yellow makes green. So far, so good. And if we now dig through the whole mess like a horde of berserkers with the bristle brush, trying to bring the complete color palette to paper with extravagant circular movements and a lot of pressure as if we were Jackson Pollock on speed, we are rewarded with a friendly brown tone that meets even the highest aesthetic demands.
Well, maybe it’s more of a blurred brown - dirty, dark, undefined. A dull mixed color, lacking power and shine. It strikes me as if each additional protagonist has taken away a piece of the brilliance from the vibrant soloists. The fresh green - hardly a shadow of its former self. Where has the intense red gone? Everything has merged into a dreary melange that immediately makes me dream of muddy puddles in late autumn and other delightful longing places.
And now enough of the watercoloring. I close the box and wonder if there is a similar phenomenon in haute perfumery? At Micallef in Grasse, they have worked with truly wonderful ingredients, from which my inner nose was able to weave a no less wonderful fragrance expectation. Well, where there is much anticipation, disillusionment often prevails.
EdenFalls is, for me, the olfactory analogy to the watercolor set mentioned earlier. From a bouquet of radiant individual notes emerges a dull-blurred scent without character and presence. This may sound terribly drastic, but it’s not that bad. I am expressing my subjective feeling here, and it tends to lean towards the direction that I would not wear EdenFalls. For me, EdenFalls is a very average, profile-less scent without any recognizability. And on a scale from 0-10, that means a 5. I deduct half a point because it really is a "scent without properties."
It is citrusy and mossy at the top, clearly on the masculine side, but it doesn’t remain citrusy and mossy. For a moment, the Damocles sword of shower gel freshness hovers over the scent. The heart is supposed to be floral. Allegedly. But the scent is not. In the base, we deal with vanilla and patchouli. Theoretically edenFalls. In the end, vanilla takes the upper hand, but even here the scent lacks an independent profile. At no point could I say that we are dealing with a floral, a green, a spicy (Where are the spices hiding, by the way?), a fruity, or a vanilla-heavy scent. EdenFalls is like Teflon with soap. Absolutely slick and intangible. And that is the reason why I cannot warm up to it. I am simply structured. I need clear statements and understandable messages. I like it contoured. And contour is completely missing here.
EdenFalls starts off masculine, then becomes more diffuse over time, making it significantly more wearable for me. It remains in exactly this stage on my skin for an extremely long time - without further development. The longevity is therefore very decent, but I found the projection to be rather weak - but that is probably due to the smoothness of the scent and the lack of tension combined with my resulting scent blindness.
EdenFalls is by no means nasty, nor extremely synthetic (my weak point). This is definitely not a slam. I do not want to question its value either. It simply does not touch me. It is not sweet enough for me. When I wear it, I feel neither more buoyant nor more comfortable or in any way more attractive.
And for blurred vagueness, it is just a tad too expensive for me.
Blurred lines.
