summoning the ghost of Gaia

I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this creation recently.As I wasn't aware of its existence, I intentionally didn't do any research for it, to refrain myself from having any preconceptions prior to sampling it.
Upon application , I experienced a deja-vu notion of sowing/harvesting of the land.
A feeling of running full of sweat on a plantation's damp soil, plant juices(slight chlorophyll aroma), smelling a bunch of plucked field wild flowers with a prominent freshly cut chamomiles (not the dried one in tea bags) and yes pollen filling the air. It is a quite heavy statement fragrance with an unusual spin that will turn heads...either towards or away from the wearer. I am, personally, very very pleased with this perfume. Being quite dense, yet not suffocating, at various times there was aroma-molecule that I couldn't put my finger on. Later on, I was pretty much sure that I smelled immortelle flower, that kept appearing and disappearing.Lastly, during the dry down I think I detected some vetyver, with fresh clean intimate body smell.
After all this time I decided to review this sample and also look its public aroma profile.Boy was I blown away. Very intricate choice of notes, hence the unique final product.Although I am familiar with all the notes listed I wasn't able to detect almost half of them.But the other half were definitely present.
Now for my final verdict, "Oeilleres" has a primal DNA that, to me, represents life at its beginning or final stage, depending where one stands.Even then it has some elements that brighten, dare i say sparkle, the strife. It's projection is inescapable and it's longevity mammoth.I also read that its production is limited to 519 bottles, which explains it's dear price for the 50ml bottles.

Bravo!

The expression of "anti-flower" really makes sense here as the scent is floral without representing a specific type of flower. Instead it's the representation of the whole spectrum of a flower; earth, growth, blossom, withering and decay.

This turns Oeilleres int a highly conceptual and philosophical piece of art; a thought provoking and associative fragrance that portrays the fragile being of a flower in the perspective of our own human flesh.

Oeilleres starts off with a herbal blast of chamomile, a touch of eucalyptus and a distant lavender. Quickly it transforms by letting hay and cumin notes take centre stage, but it never turns sweaty, thanks to the earthy contributions of the mushroom and pollen notes.

Eventually a mighty styrax takes over, lending a leathery aspect to the composition.

All the way through the drydown Oeilleres transforms and morphs with my skin, all while it stays true to it's conceptual foundation. It keeps conveying its story, expressing something about humanity, which is what I love about this level of perfumery. I can't compare it to anything, it takes its own sovereign position in the span between classics a la Caron (Narcisse Noir and Fleurs de Rocaille come to mind) and avant-garde perfume art.

Superbly done, Roberto Greco and Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, BRAVO!

Unique fragrance

First of all thank you Roberto for sending me a sample of Oeillères. Of course curious as I am I had to seek out more info and I learned that the perfume Oeillères was part of an Art Project by Roberto.

Also had to look up what the word Oeillères actually means. As I found out oeillères are blinders worn by horses.

Now of to the fragrance. The first spray of Oeillères is a very herbal blast. I cannot really determine what it is exactly, But it's fresh and warm at the same time and very natural and animalic. Also very different from anything I smelled before, but at the same time Oeillères definitely has the Marc-Antoine Corticchiato signature. The first time I sprayed Oeillères the opening was too overwhelming, but after testing several time I must say I especially like the opening.

After the first blast Oeillères slowly transforms into a warm and easier to wear fragrance. Nothing sharp, but very balanced and refined. Oeillères smells green like fresh herbs and with my nose glued to my wrist I can definitely smell the fresh chamomile. (I might be focussed on it, because I used to pick wild chamomile when I was a kid. My mother boiled it into a brew for my older sister so she could rinse her white hair.) The chamomile is nicely blended with other herbal notes creating a lovely fragrance, although unisex I feel it's leaning more towards masculine. Oeillères also has a slight barbershop smell to it, at least the middle part does.

In the drydown the scent mellows into a warm scent and eases the animalic qualities (but is still slightly present) and it just smells nice, warm and inviting. This stage is definitely unisex. Projection is close to the skin. Very unique fragrance.

Roberto Greco / Oeilleres L'Objet Parfumant

I do not know anything like them (but I have some associations of perfumes from the 80-90s). I was delighted from the first spray and the farther into the forest (with time) the better. I was sitting in a pub and I was sniffing my wrist every now and then and I decided like a parfumoholic that I had to have it and undress.
The perfume begins with aromatic accords of green - I can smell chamomile and eucalyptus, lavender looms somewhere in the background ... it's veeery herbal. After a while, notes of cumin appear, the perfume begins to move towards chypre and ... leather. This is probably due to the combination of cumin, hay and…. musk. Yes - there are animated notes and this combination is really amazing. Freshness, herbality enhanced with dry, sun-burned leather and animal notes. It all slowly fades over time and settles on a slightly sweetened resin base - this is the styrax that does the job. So we have an amazing transformation with the opening of fresh herbs through sharper chypre and leather-animal notes and ending with nice and velvety skin, where the animal only purrs pleasantly. It is a beautiful piece and it really charmed me.
The projection is very good and really palpable, durability at a good level, about 5 hours, although with the body itself I feel about 12.

For me, it is a UNIQUE perfume and, in short - truly old school: chypre and leather with animal notes.
I RECOMMEND
Notes:
lavender, chamomile, broom, hay, mushrooms, pollen, styrax, caraway, 'body' animal musk

The Anti-flower, Anti-mainstream Release...

Oeilleres opens with a camphoraceous eucalyptus underpinned by aromatic lavender before moving to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart, the eucalyptus remains, now joined by significant natural smelling cumin spice and a strong, almost mossy olive-oil accord supported by slightly herbaceous chamomile. During the late dry-down, the olive oil accord recedes then disappears, as does the cumin spice, unveiling a woody, leathery styrax base note, with hints of supporting soft musk through the finish. Projection is excellent, as is longevity at around 11-12 hours on skin.

Oeilleres is a tough composition to describe. There are a lot of floral components, but the composition does not smell floral at all. In truth the primary standouts begin with cumin spice that thankfully does not present itself like body odor as in many other compositions, instead coming off quite natural smelling, like one might expect to find in a spice cabinet. Another is what can best be described as an "olive oil" accord, quite similar to the one frequently found in most of the early O'driu releases by Angelo Orazio Pregoni. There is a moss-like characteristic that melds with the olive oil accord, but this is not oakmoss instead presenting closer to the smell of tree moss or maybe a synthetic version of it. Finally, the styrax (benzoin) does not present itself as balsamic and floral as it frequently does, but rather as almost a cedar wood and leather hybrid undertone that works quite well during the late dry-down. While describing Oeilleres is difficult, deciding whether the end result works is much easier, and the answer is definitely "yes." I doubt this is a composition one would reach for often, but outside of the extremely limited edition (and availability) O'driu releases you would be hard-pressed to find anything on the market similar. The bottom line is that while the $215 per 50ml bottle Oeilleres is a bit of an oddball offering that will not garner mainstream attention, the "very good" to "excellent" 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5 rated release will surely appeal to and is recommended to perfume enthusiasts who dig Odriu's early offerings and/or find their tastes bent to the more inventive side of the spectrum.
