Pencil! Love it
This fragrance is a quintessential pencil smell. That’s what everyone agrees on, it seems. I think there are times when I can trick myself to smell that too, but there’s something else, too. To my nose, it essentially smells like cedarwood essential oil. To be specific, I have Cedarwood Virginia EO at home, and it smells very much like that (with other types mixed too, but that’s the one I can certainly confirm). Cedarwood Virginia EO is usually described as smelling of pencil shavings, but to me it smells like an agrestic log cabin with a hint of something juniper-like, and Lápiz very much captures that. It is incredibly cosy and pleasant, and a perfume that I will keep repurchasing, as it happens to be my fragrance of choice for academic settings and purposes. There is also a patchouli in this that is very clean and likable, as opposed to dank, earthy or anything of the sort (smells that I also enjoy, in any case).
Other features that I think are worth noting: This is a very versatile fragrance. It is good for any season, time of day, or setting, though it has a particularly “focused” association, as it is the perfect studying/concentration fragrance in my opinion. Very much like a lápiz (pencil in Spanish).
More info: It is an Eau de Parfum, and it is vegan (and cruelty free of course). I would say that it lasts throughout the day, not that I care too much, but it’s worth noting for those who do, I suppose. As always, the scent is unisex.
Rating overall: 10/10 (take my ratings with a grain of salt as they are absolutely biased to my own opinion)
Thoughts on the brand: Les Topettes is a perfume store in Barcelona, Spain (Raval to be exact) which happens to be my hometown, and I have gone to the store many times and chatted with the owner, Oriol, many times. This is his brand, and he is one of the most pleasant, agreeable, friendly store owners and fellow perfume enthusiasts I have met. He is always a joy to be around and is always so helpful to everyone that comes in, whether you need a perfume recommendation or just want to talk, and this to me is so important. I am very happy to support him by buying at Les Topettes, and I would recommend that everyone who’s ever in the area pay him a visit.
