Chewing Shiso leaves while taking a trip in the countryside
Pohadka from Ys-Uzac is an amazing agrestic perfume that smells like nothing else. It feels like a cross between Fougere Bengale and Tabac Tabou, sprinkled with minty Shiso on top. Subtle and long-lasting, natural smelling, and elegant while remaining an artistic exercise in this genre. It blooms in the heat.
The opening is all about minty Shiso, grass, and hay. Bright, invigorating, warm, and green. Like taking a road trip in the countryside and lowering your car window to get a whiff while chewing mint-flavored gum. Shiso is traditionally used in Japanese cuisine and has this sparkling minty flavor to it. A unique touch in this composition that works so well. The best part about it is that this accord lasts well through the heart of the perfume, not just as an opening burst.
Soon, the composition warms up as the Immortelle starts creeping in, lending a beautifully sweet, herbaceous touch. Perfectly dosed and not too heavy. This ingredient can sometimes feel overpowering but here it is light and caressing. The same goes for the Jasmine accord that sides with the immortelle. A mere whisper.
The base displays powdery tobacco and soft brown leather, pairing seamlessly with the immortelle. It settles down like a glowing golden-brown flume, just like the sun sets down the landscape at sunset.
It feels like a trip in the countryside ending at dusk, when the colors deepen over the land just like the perfume settles from a bright, invigorating opening on a richer, brown-hued base. Excellent craftsmanship and an overlooked perfume. One that should be on the sampling list of all fans of agrestic compositions or fans of Cortichiatto's style, as it does hint at the aforementioned Parfum d'Empire compositions while staying original.
