Three-Star Soap
The opening features an exquisite citrus note, quite dark and voluminous. Thus, it invites consideration of orange, perhaps even bitter. A green-herbaceous, underlying soapiness soon complements it and brushes against the cleaning product aspect. At this point, I would have guessed lemon verbena hand soap, like the one served at Karlheinz Hauser's two-star restaurant on Süllberg in Hamburg-Blankenese. That’s where my company’s annual gala takes place, so I know that the decorated chef does not skimp on soap. However, the character of ‘Entier’ remains milder. More ethereal and fragrant than soap could be. Well, perhaps such a thing could succeed as a three-star soap… I wouldn’t have thought of the mentioned coriander without prompting; it may hide behind its own “citrus quality” or even enhance it here.
After about an hour, a sugary sweetness appears, which must be the promised amber. In context, it slightly reminds me of a throat lozenge - albeit one of Elysian quality. But the focus is clearly on a stable citrus fragrance; the sweetness can be considered an accompaniment to it. Nevertheless, the latter is exceptionally well-crafted and seems to be infused with aspects of honey and lavender.
Around midday, a creamy-sour nuance sneaks in, gently smoky, in a dosage similar to the finely measured contribution of smoke in Durga's ‘Italian Citrus’, though today it is brighter. From afar, I involuntarily think of the delicious ‘Vetiver Ambrato’ by Bois 1920, which offered a wonderful lemon cream. ‘Entier’ is not far off in style(!), and that means something.
The progression is marked by a careful substitution of our excellent citrus note with sour incense, so successfully that the aromatic memory carries the citrus thought deep into the afternoon. Wood acts as a quiet supporter. Only in the evening does the fragrance bid farewell - with its head held high and without any loss of substance.
It leaves behind above all one thing: an all-around good feeling.
I thank Fluxit for the sample.
