The upbeat ritual
Pear (crisp, synthetic). Orange blossom (airy courtesy of pink pepper). Palo santo (that weird dry, smoky creaminess). Bright and calm. Cold rose and soft patchouli in the background.
Cistus adds an amber roundness. Moss? Not to me.
It’s borderline to creamy for me (palo santo and sandalwood) but it balances it well with the tartness.
The rose is very present from the start. A candied but not too sweet one.
This is somewhat in the same ballpark as Victoria Beckhams San Ysidro Drive and Miller Harris’ Scherzo? I’m really fond of that profile or accord they share, but can’t quite wrap my head around exactly what that profile is? It is a bit artificial and reminds me of the 00:s. It has to be something with the rose note…and orange blossom? It’s a bit ambivalent in its core.
Any way, this tickles my fancy and I’m really enjoying this one even though I’m having a hard time describing it!
Unisex but might be leaning a bit towards feminine (I usually never care about that).
As for calling it the Ritual: rather than putting me in a transcendent mellow mood, it energizes me. Much more upbeat than meditative.
Oh. And this one - opposed to my other two Alexmonharts - has excellent longevity and a quite respectful presence. The only one that I feel can at least almost justify the price based on both scent and performance.
But it is a definite try before you buy.
All the Alexmonhart I’ve tried has had very pleasantly surprising sprayers - it really adds to the quality feel of the bottle (which otherwise feels just…ok with the plastic cap).
