DARK FOREST: CYPRESS, FIR, ROSEMARY...
A romantic, poetic, and beautiful coniferous scent with aromatic facets. This fragrance was inspired by the forests of Northern California and the Gold Rush era. It’s not a photorealistic depiction of a forest; rather, it retains a “perfumey” quality, where the fir essential oil is clearly discernible alongside prominent rosemary and other aromatics. The petrichor note is more abstract than realistic as well, evoking a sense of a forest pond, an ocean breeze, and slightly stale water in a lagoon. Mesmerizing.
Very "wearable," it leans classic masculine. If you appreciate fragrances like Yatagan by Caron... try El Dorado.
This scent is long-lasting, with medium projection. Classy and sophisticated, vetiver and patchouli add earthy facets, deepening the moodiness.
El Dorado embodies the idea of unattainable riches and the dangers of greed. During the Gold Rush, some people may have traveled through forests on their way to more promising sites in search of gold. I imagine that some never made it out, losing themselves forever in the tangled depths of the wilderness. Without guidance, many could have wandered endlessly, swallowed by the forest's silent embrace, their dreams fading like whispers among the towering pines, lost to history and the wilds they sought to conquer.
This fragrance has a dark, almost haunting quality — like that song by The Cure, where the protagonist finds himself in a dark forest, searching for a mysterious girl who was never really there. Now he’s lost, and it’s too late.
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
...
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again...
