A refreshing tobacco for a warm, humid summer
Soft, fresh, damp, and a bit gourmand…this is a unique and unexpected composition with complexity. It opens with a fresh, citric fruity note, but the eponymous notes of clementine and pine are not in fact the dominant ones. A soft, wheaten tobacco halfway between wet hay and oats, with a subtle vanillic quality, forms the heart of this fragrance. Meanwhile, a faint passionfruit and citrus provides a juicy freshness, and for me this combination evokes a hot, humid tropical thunderstorm - earthy, wet, but warm and bright and ultimately refreshing. It also reads quite gourmand to me - like slices of fresh orange mixed with oatmeal.
The overall scent profile is, perhaps, very slightly soft-leathery, but I definitely did not think “leather!” or “suede!” when I first smelled this, and it wouldn’t have crossed my mind without seeing the notes.
I haven’t smelled anything like this before, I think it’s unique and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to try something unusual but likeable, especially for someone wanting a summer fragrance that isn’t your typical freshie.
Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried wearing this in summer yet, but the performance has been so subtle in the cold weather that I think it would benefit from the heat.
edited to add: on consideration, the "tropical" accord in this reminds me of the one in Gelatto
