The Weird Green

This is probably one of the weirdest perfumes Olfactive Studio has created so far and one of the weirdest “green” scents I’ve ever tried.

This is also only one perfume I know that has a WASABI note in it.

The start is very pungent and…spicy. I can smell green wasabi paste and some spicy peppers (not sure if it’s jalapeños or something else). I don’t get green grassy smell, rather something I would smell in a spicy salad bowl.

It continues to evolve into something more «strong» woody and less greeny. I can’t really describe the smell, nor can I say that I smell anything from the base notes. It still stays predominantly green, maybe less pungent and wasabi-heavy. Someone commented on Fragrantica that they get some wet concrete here but that’s not what I feel here. Someone said it has mate vibes but being a mate drinker myself I certainly don’t get mate vibes. Essentially, I don’t get anything people on Fragrantica associated it with. To me it’s an abstract green smell, very unique. It’s an art object rather than a wearable fragrance. Bought it only because I knew a shop owner well enough to occasionally buy cheap testers. This one I believe was never sold after standing on a shop shelf for quite some time and I think I know why…

Surely wearable for someone, this will probably remain the least worn fragrance in my collection. At least I will never need to search for a refill (will also be hard to find the exact bottle as they’ve changed their bottle designs)

Green Horseradish

A fashion student once told me green is the hardest colour to wear, it never looks natural she said.
And likewise, green is the most difficult genre to pull off, it rarely smells right.
But Panorama is better than most.
It's a green horseradish, dry and prickly, with fruity and citrus shades.
A nose tickling edition of that all too narrow coterie: Pamplelune, What about Adam, Lime, Basil & Mandarin etc,
A natural version of the Spiky Woods; a Green Spiky Cologne.
It's good.

Room with a View

Uncommented Fragrances No. 58

You stand at a window with a view, your gaze drifting into the distance. In the background, you see the wooded hills of Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital. You have long been mentally preparing for this journey. You know Japanese culture, Japanese art, love Japanese tea, rice wine, and understand that Japanese cuisine is not just sushi and sashimi.

And yet, you remain a stranger in this fascinating country, a gaijin (a "person from outside") who strives to grasp everything but does not truly understand. The distance from the window to the green hills remains preserved, as if you cannot leave your room and walk over, no matter how close it all seems. You remain in your mind in Europe, as much as your heart is in Japan.

That was how I felt many years ago on a two-month journey through the land of the rising sun.

So it may be for us Europeans when we create fragrances that are meant to have a Japanese touch yet remain European. Olfactive Studio likely experienced something similar with their latest fragrance: Panorama.

Is that bad?

Not really, because even the view from a distance can be beautiful and good, as it opens up the possibility of objective observation; you are not trapped in an inward perspective.

Clearly, the intention behind Panorama was to (re)create an Asian-Japanese fragrance, as quirky components like wasabi (the extremely spicy green horseradish from Japan, which many here know as a sushi accompaniment or seasoning on Japanese dishes) are so typically Japanese that they are indispensable in the country's cuisine and do not appear in other Asian cuisines.
Japanese cuisine differs as much from Chinese or Thai as German does from Italian or Spanish.
But can wasabi be smelled here? For me, it is not initially recognizable, even though it is mentioned among the ingredients right at the beginning and could actually be a unique selling point for this fragrance. In fact, there are fragrances that clearly contain wasabi, such as Wasabi Shiso by DSH-Perfumes, an innovative, albeit occasionally somewhat chaotic, American niche brand. Here, however, a subtle note only emerges in the base over time.

Panorama is too fruity, sweet, and soft for me to really leave a sharp wasabi impression. If it is meant to be recognizable (and I am curious about the impressions of my fellow commentators), then it is subtle, in the background, somewhat faint, only present in the drydown.

Much more, I can recognize the fig leaf here, perhaps also the bamboo leaf, which I have occasionally encountered in fragrances. But other components of this fragrance hide behind a green-watery, slightly green tea-scented fruitiness that is still very pleasant, albeit not spectacular.

Where, for instance, is the fir balsam I love, where is patchouli (perhaps perceptible in the foundation in the base), where is labdanum and where is galbanum? Resinousness, heaviness, and stuffiness are rather absent from the fragrance. Cut grass, on the other hand, wherever that smell may come from, seems clearly recognizable behind the aforementioned friendly green fruitiness.

A fragrance for everyday wear, that wants to please, is less exotic than the ingredients might suggest, and is likable to me, even though I certainly would not buy it. With my large decant, I am well supplied for now. However, I wouldn't want to miss it at this moment.

A heartfelt thanks to Cinemoenti, who once again ensured that this fragrance was available in our forum so quickly through his sharing.

I close the window, have enjoyed the view, and travel back to Europe: with beautiful memories of my time in Japan in spirit.

Good summer fragrances are always found AFTER summer…

Here comes my third Olfactive Studio fragrance test after the wonderful Chambre Noir and the still above-average good Still Life in Rio. While I was still crazy enough in summer to occasionally test heavy and overwhelming scents on hot days (see, you’re not the only crazies :D), which was exhausting since you were already melting at temperatures of about 50 degrees and a heavy fragrance made everything even more tiring, I’m doing it the other way around now and testing a summer scent in autumn. HA!

I have to say, the reverse effect is somehow more pleasant; on the other hand, I’m testing the fragrance at home right now, so I don’t have to worry about it being carried away by the cool wind.

And I must also admit that I was a bit attracted by the wonderful color of the fragrance liquid here: toxic green, which of course fits well with the dark Halloween season, as it looks somewhat slimy (yes, I said it looks like slime or monster blood. NOT snot!! :DD).

The fragrance:

Ah, I smell a wonderful fig (which I always find so great, yeah!), which together with the green and sweet notes really smells fantastic. Freshly cut grass combined with lemon feels fresh and beautifully summery. I’m not so sure about the wasabi, but I perceive a slightly spicy note similar to allspice; this might be the scent of the wasabi. This slightly spicy note combined with bergamot vaguely reminds me of the wonderful tea scent from Gucci (Gucci pour Homme II), although this impression quickly fades as the fragrance begins to smell greener. Through the violets, there’s a sweet-powdery note that gradually transitions into the sweet-resinous incense, which smells wonderful with the emerging pine or fir.
Yes, in the base, the fragrance remains green-citrusy (you can still smell the lemon quite well), slightly sweet, and also smells a bit like a forest. A very nice fragrance.

The sillage and longevity:

Hmm,… as so often, the sillage here with such a fresh summer scent is unfortunately moderate, which I find a shame, but I have to accept that most summer fragrances smell a bit weaker than the heavy spicy sweet scents now in autumn or winter. However, it’s still enough to be perceived from close range for a (short) while.
The longevity is also not the best here and reaches its limits after five to six hours, although you should already reapply one or two hours beforehand, as it hardly smells anymore later on.

The bottle:

The bottle is rectangular, has slightly rounded corners, and a thick glass bottom. It is filled with toxic green fragrance liquid, which looks great. The label looks like crepe tape, with the fragrance name written in a lively manner. At the neck of the bottle, you can see the brand name again, and the bottle closes with a shiny black cylindrical cap. It looks simple but has turned out beautifully.

Well, that was so obvious. Now that summer has been over for some time and I have tested so many fragrances (in the hope of finding THE summer fragrance as always), I have finally found another great summer scent with Panorama (alongside scents like Neroli Extreme by Gritti). Even though Panorama is not perfect, it is a great fresh fragrance for me that nicely combines my preferences. Namely, a delicious start with figs, followed by a sweet-green scent with woody notes and smoky resins. Yeah! :)

Thus, this fragrance makes it onto my “Good Summer Fragrances” list and could even develop into a candidate for purchase. You know that I really like figs, and this fragrance smells different enough to me compared to fig scents like Philosykos by Diptyque, Debaser by D.S. Durga, and Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma (so my favorite fig fragrances) to possibly find a place in my collection.

Aaah, I’m excited, even though I could lament the somewhat low sillage and longevity, but that’s not different with the aforementioned fragrances either. Anyone looking for a nice fragrance with green notes for summer should take a look at this fragrance (and by the way, also test the previously mentioned fragrances).

And finally, I have tested a fragrance that I really like again, instead of constantly testing various women’s fragrances and then raving about how delicious you ladies smell with certain scents, argh… :D

When Nature Explodes...

..that's what they say in popular lore when spring arrives, everything sprouts, blooms, and scents the air! You should imagine Panorama just like that, at least in the top notes and in large parts of the heart notes. Eyebrows raise at the first inhale, eyes widen..the corners of the mouth lift up..and a loud and deep rumble escapes: "mhhhhhhhhhhh";-)!!! That's how Panorama struck me at first. With the wonderful scent color (they really nailed it with the scent colors;-)) such a fragrance was to be expected, and the quality is equally impressive. A brand that may not always hit the individual scent preferences but never disappoints..and that for an incredible 85€/50ml!
It contains everything that is green, fresh, and grassy..but for me, two notes dominate quite clearly: fig and fir.
The fig, in particular, gives the scent of the mown meadow a certain depth and contrast..otherwise, the fragrance would probably become a bit monotonous over time, like, for example, in the Hermes-Nile scent. Great great great:-)! The fir also brings such an ethereal freshness that you want to take a deep breath right away. But it smells nothing like pine bath salts or something from the sauna area. I can't really break down the scent much further..despite the many notes. A tonka-vanilla mix in the base adds a certain warmth with a cuddly effect.

Conclusion: A great fragrance that fits this season like no other, has that certain something, 60:40 women, longevity is okay at 6 hours but not sensational. Sillage is quite strong in the first 30 minutes and then rather close to the skin.
