Mal-Aimé Parfum d'Empire 2021

This fragrance has a massive dose of what the French call which means "bad herbs" i.e. weeds, literally translated. As an avid gardener, I hate having to pluck out the weeds in my garden, however, I've always loved the green, sappy smell of the native species we have here in Massachusetts. This really captures that spirit, it's like sitting down to weed the garden on a warm summer afternoon. No geosmin, just lots of damp, crisp green lushness. It's fresh, green, spicy, with a teeny tiny powdery undertone. Absolutely phenomenal, as is anything produced by M. Corticchiato.
