This one takes your head for a spin!
LIVE JAZZ comes in the clever guise of a folding screen. It's multi-facet panels (literally) reflect the multi-dimensions in Jazz and juice. The design details on the bottle are all about Contrast. And if you can't already guess, you're going to find out why !
The opening blast is lemony cool, high-lighted by spearmint. The lemon and grapefruit are more peel than juice. The accord is airy, fresh, bitter green, and "ozonic". A hint of grassy herbs in the background distinguishes this scent from the pack. But sooner than you can change into summer gear; a warm creaminess creeps in. This accord transitions into a "mid" -where suddenly, the (dinner) table... Flips !
Amber is the catalyst that begins to "cook" everything in it's warmth. The herbs morph from plant-like, to food-like. Reminiscent of the minty, lemony dish of seasoning that come on the side with your Vietnamese Noodle Soup -dominated by coriander (read cilantro), and simmering in a creamy rhubarb broth. What keeps this from turning altogether savory, is the sweetness of vanilla in the base, throbbing like a consistent beat. Personally, the addition of vanilla made this otherwise strangely refreshing scent a bit nauseating to my nose. But I must admit. This is wayyyyyyy interesting...and will no doubt leave few heads unscratched.
LIVE JAZZ is a funky trip to Mabel's kitchen... To hear her nephew's jazz trio improvise, while she's cooking ! Certain food-like qualities to this composition (cilantro and rhubarb) may well be Pierre Bourdon's inspired cross reference of Jazz Music with Soul Food ! (Food for thought, anyway : )
In-spite of the intellectual shenanigan -LIVE JAZZ (as a casual fragrance) is ultimately an unpretentious, versatile, and unique alternative scent. Do I recommend it? It all depends on whether you have room on your playlist -for something as interesting, but just as flawed as...well, live jazz !
Longevity:7/10 (base notes)
Projection (fall temperatures):6/10 (in mid)
Art/Creatives: 8/10 (bottle and concept)
How: year round, daytime, casual, free-spirited,
laid-back. (Worth testing).
