Tea ceremony in the forest clearing
Unannotated fragrances No. 184
Kamila Aubre and her brand of the same name can be placed somewhere between artisan and natural fragrances. She characterizes herself on her website as follows: "Kamila Aubre is a photographer, independent botanical perfumer and aromatherapist. All of the fragrances use a slow movement approach - mindful practices, connection with the objects and materials, choosing quality over quantity and micro batches and / or limited editions. The perfumes are made of 100% natural and sustainable aromatic materials." Slow movement approach: This is fundamentally appealing and so it is logical that the perfumer and brand owner responds personally and attentively to inquiries on her homepage.
Many related brands can currently be found in America, which can mean that shipping, shipping times and customs duties can become a real problem. Belgium (Heist-op-den-Berg between Brussels and Antwerp) is just around the corner and the postal route within the EU is correspondingly uncomplicated.
Anyone interested in Kamila Aubre's fragrances should first of all have a love of natural fragrances, the characteristics of which are not easy to describe, although I, together with several other users here on Parfumo, bought hundreds of natural fragrances about six to seven years ago. six to seven years ago, I tested, categorized and evaluated hundreds of natural fragrances (the blogs can still be found on the site of user Fluxit, whom I would like to thank again from a distance for his dedicated compilation of the results, the control of the test selection and the organization behind the scenes; it's a pity that you are no longer active @Fluxit). In the broadest sense, the fragrances smell a little aromatherapeutic, of course, synthetic ingredients are usually missing, fragrance oils from the organic store are a good guide - and besides that, each perfumer has their own signature: Kamila Aubre's fragrances often remind me of fine tea blends of herbs, tea leaves and woods.
There are no clear categories for classifying natural fragrances, if only because the standards in America are different from those in the EU, not to mention Asia or Latin America. In principle, however, the commitment behind the respective brands generally seemed high to us at the time; the desire for a different fragrance world of vegan, handmade fragrances associated with a sustainable philosophy was usually clearly noticeable, especially in the case of Kamila Aubre, which was not yet in focus at the time.
Since various users have already published reviews and statements about Kamila Aubre here on Parfumo, which I recommend reading, here is an attempt at an approach to Gloire de Dijon Eau de Parfum.
The inspiration for Gloire de Dijon Eau de Parfum is a poem by D.H. Lawrence, the first writer in English literature to come from a working-class background (see Wikipedia on D.H. Lawrence, among others). Gloire de Dijon is considered one of the most beautiful love poems in literary history: "While down her sides the mellow golden shadow glows" Lawrence writes about the beloved woman he observes in the morning. Even if the fragrance is based on this homage to female beauty, it does not seem to me to be exclusively feminine, which is confirmed by its categorization as a unisex fragrance (see above).
I was attracted by the wondrous combination of porcini mushroom, various types of tea and vetiver with white rose, which promises a unique fragrance experience somewhere between tea ceremony and forest clearing. This note of porcini mushrooms is particularly beautiful in one of my favorite natural fragrances: Cepes and Tuberose, which I strongly recommend. Here in Gloire de Dijon Eau de Parfum, the note is more restrained and cannot be considered in isolation at first, but it may be considered plausible. At first, the teen notes are in the foreground, mingling with iris and floral tones, and the longer the fragrance remains on the skin or the fragrance strip, the more vetiver can be identified: a bitter green note with almost hay-like tones. However, there is also a hint of a woody, earthy note that could possibly be associated with porcini mushrooms. However, the forest associations here are not to be understood in the sense of a rustic geosmin earth note, fir resins or leafy green, but rather of a dry, herbaceous and lovely nature, as if you were in a forest clearing where the last sunlight gathers just before dusk. Sounds cheesy? Maybe it is, but it's also romantically beautiful.
The other fragrances from Kamila Aubre are also recommended for testing.
