A 'festive' chypre
Bought this EDT online to - in an affordable way (because this can be found for a song) - find out more about chypres: Why some turn so bitter and musty on my skin and why others don't. I'm beginning to think that this probably is about the combination of oakmoss and patchouli. When those are combined the bitterness is very prominent on my skin maybe. And often not in a good way (like smelling body odor).
So here are my thoughts on this scent with just oakmoss and no patchouli:
Batchcode says my bottle is from june 2021, the bottle is like pictured above, but with a black cap instead of a golden colored one.
When I had opened the bottle, I first sprayed it on a piece op paper. It then reminded me a lot of Diva Eau de Parfum.
When sprayed on my skin though, this perfume is much cooler than Diva, and far more 'clean', a little soapy even and more bright. Opening is loud and strong (In a good, almost 'festive' way) and this could be why, later on, one would think it has completely gone (some complain about longevity and so this may be due to the contrast between the loud opening and softer drydown) untill it suddenly hits you when you almost forgot about wearing it (this happened to me when I did some shopping some time after spraying, thinking it had evaporated, but it obviously hadn't).
In the end the sillage reminds me of Woman III (1986) Eau de Toilette (I thought scherrer reminded me of that, but it doesn't) before it's reformulation by Coty. It has that same clean, bright and almost fougère vibe to it which I loved in JSW III.
And so: no bitterness that reminds of body odor here.
Unlike the chart says, I think this is perfect for summer because of that clean, bright and fougère scentprofile.
It's awesome that this beauty (50 ml) costed me no more than 24 euro's because this doesn't smell cheap in any way.
Ofcourse I'm now curious about the EDP (Oh dear :-))
Edit: unfortunately, when I wore it the other day it suddenly dried down very aftershave-y and boring. Glad it was a cheapy :-)
