Digital Picture Frame or Home Museum
As a “study” around the mentioned ingredients, perfumer Andreas Wilhelm describes his creation, which explicitly - after all, perfume “sucks” - does not want to be a perfume. I am always skeptical about such things and immediately thought back to the partly gruesome scents from the mixing kitchen of Mr. Brosius, who plays the same tune under the brand name “CB I Hate Perfume.”
‘Green’ now strikes me as a digital picture frame that, in deep equanimity, reproduces the files of the inserted medium without any recognizable internal order. Perhaps a similar experience occurs when walking through a tiny local museum, where the two dozen exhibits from five centuries are somehow placed side by side. Alphabetically sorted, perhaps.
Taken in isolation, each of these can be quite artistic, exciting, or at least curious. And that brings us to the topic: The rhubarb at the start today is well done. The so-called hazelnut can also be checked off, and the fact that it comes across to me as more green than brown can even be seen as a plus point in light of the perfume's name. Mango is…well…understandable, if you know it. Whether the grassy note is meant to refer to marijuana, I cannot judge due to lack of experience, and for coffee, I have to resort to a higher level and recall the wide range of aromas found in coffee that is crafted rather than industrially produced.
Well, here I am now in front of this series of not uninteresting exhibits, while the “inner curator” falters. The fact that the scent substances become blurry over the course of the morning unfortunately does not lead to the previously missing merging into a perfume, but is pure smudging. By midday at the latest, a diffuse brown-green sauce with a sour touch (see below) has formed, from which, with a lot of goodwill, a thought of amber can be extracted for completeness' sake in the afternoon.
The fragrance also has one more insight ready for me, as I think I perceive vetiveryl acetate and a hint of laboratory-like general fruit in the afternoon and sense a reference back to the rhubarb. Aha, so that’s how it goes!
Nevertheless, I come to the conclusion that ‘Green’ does not hurt, but it is also not necessary.
I thank Garcon for the sample.
