Who Stole the Coconut?
I wouldn't have figured it out if it weren't stated here in the pyramid. If it hadn't already been mentioned in the comments. So this is supposed to be coconut, huh!
But what has been done with it? Where is it? Where are the flowers, the cedar? Well, I might still associate the latter with a note that I initially perceived as indifferently sharp.
Alright, since I know now, I actually think that coconut could be in the scent.
But if it is, I don't want to admit it:
At first, I only perceived something mushy-green with a slightly biting quality. Crushed leaves is not an inaccurate description. I would have defined the mushiness as sandalwood.
But then I only smelled kernel soap. No, not "real" kernel soap made from bones and fat of animals boiled with potash and then slightly masked with citrus aroma to cover the slightly rancid smell.
Surely this, it seemed to me, would be a kernel soap made from vegetable fats, which still exists.
For example, Marseille soap is such a kernel soap, but made from olive oil and usually perfumed with aromatic herbs or fragrant flower oils. A top-quality soap.
The kernel soap from "Bois Aromatique" would therefore be made from coconut fat, flavored with green palm leaves. I regret that I don't perceive anything beyond that.
I keep sniffing my arm; it is kernel soap that I smell.
I even use such a white kernel soap, which however only smells a little of citrus. So I compared the scents. Because when you want to test perfumes, it's best to use odorless body cleansing and care products. I generally do that. That's why I also have white kernel soap made from vegetable fat, which is mostly coconut fat. I buy it at the pharmacy because I don't want a synthetic detergent soap. It's true, the scents are very similar.
Now, after several hours, other aromas are developing in "Bois Aromatique," somewhat more pleasant, but no longer identifiable for me.
Or have I gotten used to the scent?
So this is a fragrance for rugged men who don't want to smell like perfume or at least want to pretend that they are only into "natural" scents.
But seriously: Either something half-finished has been filled into the sample vial, as it is decanted by hand. Or the scent has simply failed, because on Francois Delì's homepage it reads like this:
One of the best Floral-Fruity fragrances ever created.
At the top an explosion of Coconut approached by calmly audacious Lemon.
The powdery heart notes of Jasmine, Rose and Violet are playing with sensual pleasure.
At the base the glow of Cedarwood and Amber, all orchestrated in a unique cozy voluptuous symphony.

Something is not right there, is it?
