Engaging Accompanying Circumstances
At first, I read "Padenstedt." My daughter once had riding holidays at the Pony Park Padenstedt near Neumünster. But no: Pavenstedt. The lady seems to be in the clothing business of celebrities. Aha.
About the scent: From sniffing the vial, I certainly wouldn't have guessed it was a natural fragrance. The nose is likely too spoiled by the magnolia-like twist of some synthetics (Hedion - see www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/duft/duftforschung.html). And magnolia is indeed - after a brief, finely spicy, quite quiet opening - quickly prominent; I think of the tea-like scent of my summer magnolia. There’s also bright, fresh, airy woodiness. This freshness can otherwise just about be reconciled with the lightest of all roses. In other words: I don't smell much rose. A gentle spiciness from coriander (would I have recognized it on my own?) adds a bit of zest. The spiciness is close to cinnamon, and without support, I would have suspected an addition from that corner.
A creamy-warm, sweet, yet softly roughened wood note allows patchouli and sandalwood to shine through. And indeed, in my opinion, patchouli particularly keeps the fragrance from sliding into overly niceness, as it remains "rough" underneath.
The progression reliably offers a delicate, fragrant-floral, slightly violet-tinted aura, creamily sweet-spicy embedded, arranged on a scratchy base - and this lasts for hours. In the afternoon, I sense a hint of amber sweetness in the growing base. Unclouded by quality losses, the longevity is around eight to nine hours.
This is wonderfully wearable for any occasion and quite feminine. However, I have smelled all of this before, and not just once. Probably for this reason, I can't quite pinpoint what the current candidate specifically reminds me of. But originality or even niche-ness is probably not intended anyway. The offering is also meant to be a social project, see the blog post by BelAmi and the discussion about it. And that naturally requires a certain marketability.
Thus, the present candidate is recommended to those ladies who want to smell simply well-groomed rather than experimental and who also enjoy ethically engaged accompanying circumstances. That I personally find the crocheted cover of the Bembel (seen only in the photo, of course) rather shopping-bag-like is beside the point. As long as the events surrounding the production truly align with what is claimed, I wish such endeavors success.
I thank Fluxit for the sample.
