Jean-Paul Guerlain

Top Notes: Lemon Tree Leaves,Neroli, Sage, Bergamot
Middle Notes: Ginger, Juniper, Absinthe, Ylang-Ylang, Coriander, Nutmeg, Sandalwood
Base Notes: Oakmoss, Patchouli, Benzoin, Leather, Everlasting Flower
A heavy contender at the start, this is best after it has a chance to wear down a bit. Definitely not one to overapply, either. Having given those caveats, however, this is a remarkable scent. It speaks confidence and power, and after having been retired for a time, it has earned enough recognition to return, only slightly chastened, as l'Âme d'un Héros. Citrus and herbal to start, the original then goes into a heart of strong herbal, green, and spice notes slightly relieved by ylang-ylang; woods, leather, and resins in the base complete this green-herbal chypre. Not for the faint of heart or for casual wear, this must be kept back for greater needs and occasions. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but for the soul of the valiant and questing knight, it's as necessary as a coat of chain mail.

Frederic Malle L'Eau D'Hiver

For me, this is Ellena's masterpiece. From the little fanfare of bergamot, at the start, which ushers you into the sheer floral heart of iris, carnation and jasmine before floating into one of my favorite bases of honey, caramel and musk. The base makes this sound like a gourmand but it is so far from that kind of scent. This is the perfect storm of Ellena's minimalism leading to rich complex accords.

Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone.

Le Labo Patchouli 24

I'm trying to keep people away from my office today, so I applied 4-5 sprays. I can hardly breathe right now (if you own this you know how fierce the topnotes are), but I'm looking forward to swimming in the gorgeous leather/vanilla drydown during a 4 hour drive I'm taking later today.
