Hildegard of Bingen and the herbal monk
Top note:
Basil, various herbs, volatile alcoholic extract (white rum), menthol
Heart note:
Sage, rosemary, fennel, fresh grass, apple mint, bitter orange, clover
Base note:
Vetiver, something slightly coconut-like-mint synthetic as fixator (Clearwood?)
________________________________________________________________________________________
Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(5 of 10) average
History:
Initially, in the top note citric-herbal (although it seems to be the essential herbal oils, which are easily confused with citrus species) I easily perceive the citric plants, as well as the herbal freshness.
The heart note joins the top note very quickly. I also partly have the impression of very young fir needles because of this herb-heaviness. Here the fragrance awaits with its green herbal heart.
A light impression of liquorice and liquorice comes perhaps from some kind of fennel, if it is present. Also a kind of coconut breath is added. Still in the heart note there is the alcoholic tincture character.
In the base the herbal character is preserved and all freshness flows into a slightly showery vetiver-sage-honey-menthol-herbal-spice carousel
Endurance:
Many hours. But doesn't necessarily last until the next day. This is toilet water and not perfume water with a stronger concentration.
Flacon & exterior design:
Class flacon from very heavy glass. Sides are lacquered black with a beautiful wrought-iron pattern often seen as a garden gate. On the lid, which is very heavy but made of plastic, four flying swallows are engraved which together form a kind of cross. Unfortunately the otherwise well made lid does not sit very firmly on the spray head. It wobbles a bit and you can't lift the bottle at the cap. Could fall. The bottle is simple and angular as it is appropriate for an essence. Cardboard outer packaging.

Description:
As for the fragrance itself, I would like to mention the association with Hildegard von Bingen. That alone is enough to describe the fragrance in all its facets.
The fragrance is something for allotment garden fans, for Paulaner, Franziskaner and other monks, househusbands who like to cook with kitchen herbs. For the vegan as well as the meat eater who likes to marinate in herbs.
Those who love unripe, fruity rosemary and unbitter sage, sweet fennel, chamomile and other herbs will love L'INSOUMIS. Guaranteed.
The "insubordinate / unruly" is absolutely not fitting! At least not without knowing the context. In the Middle Ages, many monks probably smelled like this.
Perhaps one could be asked whether one would not have stood too long in the herb garden. This is quite possible, because the scent is just very spicy and fresh.
A wooden chopping board with a mountain of freshly picked kitchen herbs from the lovingly planted garden on it. The whole thing is then carefully sliced and chopped up in a good mood and prepared with vinegar and oil, or grated on a greased chicken breast, or even vegetarian zucchini cut into slices, onions added, a dash of white Burgundy or Veltliner added to the pot and then slightly steamed.
A monk from the monastery catalogues rare herbs. He plucks off a leaf, puts it in his mouth and chews on it. He writes something down on the thick handmade paper in the slightly tattered book with leather cover. He then sits down to relax at the wall piled up of stones and drinks a tea from the mysterious home-grown plants.
L'INSOUMIS is joie de vivre and fun in the garden and with food and cooking.
It can happen that the water in your mouth runs together.
You get hungry for a fresh salad or something vegetarian.
It could also go well with cat or dog owners. I strongly assume that this scent could also jump pleasantly into the nose of the quadrupeds. The animals do not like strong citrus scents or lemon waters. Herbal-heavy or musk is rather inclined towards the animal.
Although with certain types of musk or beaver horny the dog could become ratty ;-o
Occasion:
Garden party, beer garden, excursion into the green, walk, wellness, barbecue, barbecue, hiking
As office fragrance, for business and business or nightlife to attract attention, the fragrance is completely unsuitable.
Season:
Spring, summer and autumn. Garden time = suitable.
Age recommendation:
>30
It's too boring for young people. Maybe interesting for a young botanist or biologist.
Similare & Scent twins:
