Far from a fave
When I can’t figure out what’s going on in a scent, a note breakdown is necessary. I needed a note breakdown with RS. It’s collectively unclear in the way fragrances released under 3 months are unfinished and not done maturing.
It’s both sweet and woody. I get a bold woodiness but can’t place the specific wood ( I guess Sequoia?) I also couldn’t figure out that this was a raspberry note by smell testing alone. The wood and fruit accords don’t come together as a blended whole but read as separate entities parallel to each other, like how water and oil don’t mix in a glass when stirred.
It feels unfair to evaluate a scent that reads as so under-developed, and so without a clear olfactive direction. However, if French Avenue can release Royal Sequoia, I can review it as it is I suppose.
