Kretek with Orange Peel
Many Lutens fragrances from the COLLECTION NOIRE are too much for me. I recognize the quality, but I don't like to smell them on myself, as they often feel too loud and overwhelming.
So far, I haven't found anything in the lighter scents from the LES EAUX DE POLITESSE line either. The new one didn't appeal to me during the first test. The clove was too annoying. My first association: It smells like a Kretek cigarette.
Attracted by the unusual emerald green color of the perfume, I took another sniff last weekend and was surprised. Now the citrusy orange came through nicely and blended with the pleasantly spicy clove into a wonderful, warm, strangely patchouli-like scent.
Lutens describes Des clous pour une pelure as a refreshing and cleansing fragrance.
I agree. And it looks quite nice next to my Pink After Shave in the bathroom.

The Last Mint in the Bottle
I like mint, but unfortunately, I can hardly find any at the moment, especially since Green Water is no longer available. That’s why I was excited about the announcement of the new Atkinson Mint & Tonic. I like the beautiful glass bottle with the heavy, silver cap, just like all the bottles in the Contemporary Collection. The first impression of the scent brings the expected summery freshness, with mint and citrus, to the nose. Mint yes, not sweet, not floral, no tonic, very subtle and light, this first accord transitions into a woody spiciness (unfortunately without the described ginger), which slowly fades into a somehow metallic musk base.

Mornings by the Sea
After reading the announcement of the new fragrance here, Frank Müller, the owner of my favorite store, got me a small sample, which I tested on Saturday.
It starts subtly fruity, with a light mandarin note, and quickly transitions into a fresh scent, like a solitary walk early in the morning by the sea, before the other guests arrive in droves.
The aroma of pure, salty air is distinctly perceivable and blends after a few minutes with woody notes, as if you are not walking on the sand, but slowly strolling along the wooden boardwalk by the sea.
Very well done and fortunately quite different, thus a lovely addition to the well-known L´Eau d´Issey pour Homme.
