Jade Olivier Durbano 2008 Eau de Parfum

Tea - why not. Dark green, somewhat watery, but quite aromatic with subtle smokiness, lightly sweetened. This impression persists, but fades increasingly as one approaches the base in the angular Durbano style. And this often has to do with Iso E Super, resins, and other fine things - as is the case here. It really is a fading, the fragrance development does not follow the classic three-step.

An interesting and beautiful scent that approaches the theme of tea in a somewhat different way. But otherwise, it probably wouldn't have fit into the Durbano lineup. However, this does leave me a bit perplexed after getting to know a few from it. There is a lot of shadow alongside the light. I seem to recall reading that Mr. Durbano is not the perfumer of these fragrances. Some perfumer from Grasse was supposed to be the one, if I remember correctly - perhaps someone can shed light on this. I would be quite interested.

In any case, I count Jade among the successful ones and can only recommend it to tea connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Perhaps even a bit more to the connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
