Châtelain 22 Régalien 2025

As late summer announced itself, my mood shifted. The time for my beloved freshies was over, and something warm and cozy should please make its entrance. After a brief search here in the forum, I chose "Tonka Hysteria | d'Orsay." Beautiful scent, but the KN doesn't convince me, HN is nice, and the DD is to die for. Then I read a statement on another perfume review site that Châtelain 22 was so much better than "Tonka Hysteria | d'Orsay." After some research, it was clear that the fragrance is a new release but not available in Germany. However, as luck would have it, a dear perfumista informed me that she was flying to Turkey. Everything was quickly arranged, and I am now the proud owner of a bottle.
What can you expect now? Châtelain 22 starts off warm and spicy from the very beginning. The tonka bean makes it clear from the first spray to the end that it plays the leading role. The spiciness slowly recedes from KN to HN over time. Hay makes the scent creamier. The tobacco adds a sensual elegance and retains some of the spiciness, so it doesn't drift into a sweet, run-of-the-mill gourmand. A bit of wood joins in but remains understated. Fortunately, the vanilla stays in the background.

Châtelain 22 is made for tonka fans. It is perfect if you are looking for a sensual and cozy scent to endure the upcoming cold days with a warm, tender embrace.
