Panasch WienerBlut 2012

That is wonderfully colorful in autumn and has a herb-wonderful scent? It could be! Because this amazing fragrance is neither Mediterranean nor oriental. Not floral or fern-like either. It is hard to categorize, but the tendency strongly leans towards "Central European mixed forest with clearings and meadows." The fresh bitterness that Panasch radiates right from the start is reminiscent of a slightly foggy morning in early November, not too cold, very close.
What follows is wonderfully full, green, earthy, woody, herbal, and close to nature. Yes, LANDSCAPED, a term that suggests there is a lot contained within that evokes different images. Perhaps there is a small river with herbs growing along its banks. Or a meadow with a small cluster of trees in the middle. Or a dense forest where everything that has trunk, crown, needles, or leaves grows. Along with the underbrush and ferns. Maybe even an urban park in a landscaped style, with a pond and "artificial" stream.
The composition of the scent has something very artistic about it, realism with a touch of romance and authentic "coloration." It also addresses the "soft tones," like violets among ivy under trees. And the subtle rustling of dry leaves in a light breeze or the scent before impending rain...
I would probably find much more to describe, as the fragrance has depths behind its apparent clarity that I would not have suspected before.
A masterpiece of fragrance at its finest!
