Big Pineapple Sundae
Mmmm, baby! Big sweet pineapple sundae out of the gate, right on top of caramel amber gourmand. This is what I wanted Hacivat to be, but its pineapple got kidnapped at gunpoint by a big, burly oakmoss.
Here, the lavender is kidnapped by the pineapple, but in this case I don't care. Any citrus here is also dwarfed by the pineapple, but there's harmony.
After a couple of hours, there's only the barest hint of herbaceousness and patchouli, not enough to distract from the fruit. There's a mild woodiness that joins the fray and keeps the composition from being overly sweet and gourmandish. It's delicious and appealing but is not floating away on clouds of sundae vanilla. There's enough of that around, anyway.
With lavender, you can go in two directions, and different varieties of Lavendula yield different scents. This is not the herbal/aromatic facet, so perhaps the reason the lavender gets slightly lost for me is that it's the sweet facet of lavender that blends with the ripe fruit.
The marine notes, (the heavier synthetic calone types of which I usually can't stand), are backgrounded, lending a mild freshness and offsetting the impact of fruity sweetness. They're not bothering me at all (woot).
The skin scent after the power of Dominance has run its course remains, for me, a pleasurable candy-amber pineapple. There's no Dominant (puns intended, bada bing!) base note that emerges separately as part of development. The notes as I described remain largely as-is.
Incidentally, despite the marketing copy on this fragrance, it seems a bit irrational that this is considered "dominant male". These categories are so arbitrary; like projective tests they often say more about us and our cultures and life histories than about a fragrance. Big treble florals tend to give me headaches, so these sorts of fruit-forward freshies are welcome and enjoyable for me as a woman. I don't care much what stereotypes folks want to push.
This is deliciously lovely and I've sprung for a full bottle.
