He-Ha-Ho
It’s so green. However, not immediately, because first there’s a distinctly fruity, banana-like wave that passes by. It actually disappears quickly (until... wait!). Muscat sage soon presents a masculine spice that does not come off as stinky, but is already close to coniferous trees. Very stylish, without being slick. I wouldn’t have initially thought of cedar and pine; I perceive it here as warmer. Well, that might also be due to the warm-spicy smoke, which assists in a more cuddly than festive way. Still during the opening hour, cedar becomes more pronounced. Elemi coats it with a whitish-fuzzy Leukoplast veil. This combination is original yet still has a classic outward effect.
It’s funny that in the second hour, the scent suddenly reminds me of baby food fruit puree; specifically: banana, with a dab of peach possibly mixed in. Perhaps it’s the banana-like nuance that I often think of with certain artificial woods? However, this is likely just a solitary perception of mine. Nevertheless, it clearly (and oddly!) picks up the fruit thread again from the beginning.
This is again merely an intermezzo, though this time one lasting a relaxed three hours. Only in the late morning does a gradually dominant interplay between light smoky resin and wood emerge. And from that He-Ha-Ho, the Ha finally provides me with a tangible reason to no longer smell a mashed banana (the child is now a bit older) protected from browning with lemon juice. It’s terrible how stubbornly such once-established perceptual tracks dictate the direction. Away with you, banana!
Thus, I finally diagnose coniferous wood around noon. So, really. Unlike my esteemed predecessor Ergoproxy (thank you very much for the sample!), it doesn’t seem overwhelmingly synthetic to me, certainly not annoyingly hardware-store-like. Rather, the wood surprises at the end with a hint of Goutal-like fir sweetness à la Nuit Etoilée, while our subtle yet characteristically strong smoky spice darkens the overall picture. Very nice. I’ve almost forgotten the banana.
PS: The baby food escapade aptly explains the name of the fragrance. For someone living in the Hamburg area, both company headquarters of Hipp - whether in Germany or Switzerland - are quite far to the south.
