Ambiguous Vetiver Potpourri, from floral to Maggi on the leather jacket.
First spray: Strong alcoholic note. Then what can be described as woody.
First flowers come through. Violet?
And strong vetiver - and cold mint.
The vetiver-incense note I have already smelled in Encre Noire, however, here it is more harmonious, less flat and musty than in EN, and what is significantly more important:
It is complemented by other delicious ingredients, like the aforementioned little flowers. A "physicality" comes into play.
I have also noticed the floral direction in Dsquared Rocky Mountain Wood, an EdT that I have always loved for its deliciousness and always hated for its volatility.
To be honest, this one does not come close to the colorful floral splendor of RMW.
Behind the strict mint smoke, I still think I can recognize an herbal note, which then strongly shifts into the herbal - or leathery? - after about 10 minutes.
I don't know how it will perform in terms of longevity, I already feel the need to reapply after 15-20 minutes...
The scent develops quite quickly, and it goes, in my opinion, over too wide a range from cold mint vetiver through the little flowers to Maggi on the leather jacket.
Overall, it is too ambiguous for me, and the individual nuances do not harmonize strictly speaking; they are just present simultaneously or sequentially, and the scent is too fleeting.
The second test run lasted maybe two hours so far, and I come out of it indecisively.
I only know for sure that it did not convince me. Not in terms of balance, not in terms of scent progression, and not in terms of longevity.
But it is not bad, not at all.
I agree with myself: It is unfortunately not bad, and I will still properly use the sample.
Let's see if a miracle happens.

Personally, I dislike the so-called leather note and the musk in the base.
I will spare myself another test run.
