psy_cou Nomenclature 2019

Frank Voelkl has declared New York his chosen home. This fragrance is said to have been inspired by childhood memories of his grandfather's farm. I have not yet ventured beyond Europe, and I will travel more of our continent before I wish to make my way there. And my prejudice is that all Americans are heavily armed. Of course, that is nonsense, and I know it. But a prejudice is a prejudice.
The vastness, the gigantic buildings in cities like New York - yes, I would love to see that. I also want to know if the people from Hamburg are just as laid-back in the States as they are here.

Molecule fragrances fascinate me, the niche within a niche. Fragrances like Inception are a work of art to me. Creating a scent that smells like clean air, as if you have an ozone generator in the room. Not wearable for me, but extraordinary. I also found Escentric, which simply smells like sweet wood, rather boring. Many use it for layering/fixing their favorite scents to make them last longer on the skin or to enhance them.

psy_cou stands out, yes, you can smell the wood. To me, it smells very authentic. It seems to be intended more as a scent for meditation, I think. You sit on the wooden floor, I hear Autumn by George Winston from the speakers, someone lights Palo Santo, although the scent itself has nothing smoky for me. The spices are beautifully woven into the fragrance, nothing particularly stands out. Except perhaps coumarin, which gives the scent a lovely hay note.

Well done, Frank ;)
