107 attempts, the good "Wood"-Michel is said to have used for "Woody Perfecto"? :) Who knows, who knows - but I find the concept with the added "trial notes" quite interesting. Even if there is probably a lot of myth, interpretation, and a wink involved. But if in the end such a fine gourmand vetiver (!) comes out, marketing and co. can be of no concern to me - this is a hit, exactly to my taste! It’s no coincidence that these are still my two favorite olfactory "genres".
"Woody Perfecto" - the name is somewhat misleading, I would clearly not push the creation into the woody corner. Unless one counts vetiver as wood. Which one could strictly speaking do. However, the substance always strikes me as rather green, medicinal, and endlessly distinguished. And "Woody Perfecto" is no exception. Just significantly more playful and "food-like" with roasted aromas and a dark leather jacket layered over everything. Together, this creates a brown-green licorice feeling, slightly nutty, that I have rarely smelled. A consistent and clear mix of "Vetiver Tonka" and the vetiver from Sven Pritzkoleit. Even the extreme version from Guerlain goes a bit in this direction. "Woody Perfecto" achieves this outstandingly balanced, stylish, and playful at the same time. For such a result, one can certainly try and tinker over 100 times ;-)
Bottle: would fit well in a chemistry lab
Sillage: suitable for everyday use, with a leather jacket into the reed office
Longevity: satisfactory 7 hours (sometimes even more)
Conclusion: a quite extraordinary and rounded licorice vetiver - delicious & stylish!
