Is This Release Really a Triomph?...
Triomphe opens with a distinct warmed apple note. The apple is joined shortly afterwards by a nicely done natural incense-like cedar note rising from the base with sandalwood support. Any trace of the heart notes listed on the scent pyramid showing up in the composition eludes my nose, save a trace amount of jasmine that stays well in the background acting as a slight softening agent to the incense-like cedar as the lingering apple from the top notes finally disappears. Projection is minimal and longevity is very good.
Despite its lengthier list of notes in its published composition, Triomphe really is all about the warmed apple and incense-like cedar tandem. It either is a very minimalist scent or the other published notes are so subtle that they are barely detectable with the minor exceptions mentioned in the paragraph above. The notes that are present are all nicely-done and the composition is a good one despite being bare-bones. That said, I can't completely erase a voice in the back of my head that keeps nagging that there just is something missing here. In the end Triomphe is a fairly good but not great composition recommended for trial but not really a buy, earning 3 stars out of 5.
