Well said! It's a shame about the chemistry. The opening was so lovely!

@Babylon84 Thank you for the sample!
Since the "artistic" caps, the house has definitely taken a rather synthetic direction...

Starts wonderfully.
Then it becomes nutty, creamy, synthetic, and overpowering for me.
Department store scent.

I really liked it ;-) The opening is harsh, but later on my skin it's just great! Quite soft!

Title fits the crash, what can you do. 🤷‍♂️

Beautiful mint may be appealing, but Penhaligon's often has an annoying synthetic quality for me.

Too bad, it dampens the anticipation a bit. I like many from this house, will test it soon.

Done!

I've already written off Penhaligon's for a long time, so my expectations are low; your words can't really upset me anymore.

Brutally honest statement, well written and described!👌 I personally find Lataffaesque a bit too harsh, but I really enjoy how this fragrance polarizes.

Thank you so much, Babylon84!
Oh dear, oh pain…
Another traditional house in free fall…
Great start with fresh mint, really green and crisp.
The lavender is a bit shy, but you can definitely pick it up as the scent develops.
Great conifers until…
Yes, until the sweet base from Lataffa creates a beautifully artificial sound and literally smoke.
The woody resins dominate, red berry esters stand out, vetiver acetate grounds it.
Rose geranium has a sharp green quality with the lavender.
Hence the name.
Well, sad ending.
