It is a wet day in Tokyo and you are walking through the city streets on your way to work. The opening is powdery and dry, like the feeling of running your hand against of ready-made concrete walls. Iris transforms within the dry down as the musks and tonka begin to develop within the greens from geranium. For those who liked CDG Concrete, The Beige feels like a cousin you see at family gatherings every couple of years. Similar but not the same. Gender neutral, it is a fragrance that would be worn by Jill Sander and Margaret Howell enthusiasts. 8.5/10
