I received a generous a 1.2ml tiny bottle sample of Trevert for entering the Basenotes contest. We were asked to describe the relationship between the colour of a perfume's juice, and your wearing of it. Two free bottles were offered to the best descriptions.
I knew I wouldn't win so I just talked about the color of Trevert that was posted on Basenotes. It was a lime green like a popsicle or slurpy from 7-11. Absolutely disgusting color for a fragrance. WOW, was I surprised when I opened my sample. It is a beautiful dark emerald green, just like you would expect a pine based scent to look like. Nothing like the picture.
Aftelier lists the notes as Verdant pine absolute, leafy flouve absolute, and ambery clary sage contribute to this "very green" eau de parfum.
Mandy isn't going to get any awards for this creation, and I don't think it was her goal. I do think this pine scent does offer something unique for pine scents. No pine-sol effect, no over the top pine like you just chopped your Christmas tree. The pine is tempered oh so nice that renders it to be a beautiful soft floral. The secret ingredient not listed above is Tubereuse absolute in the heart notes. Perfect launch time for a perfect spring scent. An uplifting fun scent.
As usual for Aftelier perfumes, lasting power will vary. It's rather short lived on me, but I know for many others it will be more than adequate.

Good comments.
