Licorice masterpiece
I would say that one of the characteristics of a good perfumer job is the hability to take a trend and an idea that already exists and exploring from a different angle, making it completely his or hers. When smelling a certain raw material, Robert had the idea to create for his brand, Sebastiane Parfums, an ode to Eau de Vie, a sort of alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of fruit. Thus was born Urban Legend, supported by the recent trend of alcoholic beverage inspired fragrances, a scent reminiscent of a classic commercial but that is unique in itself,
Urban Legend recalls the great Yohji Homme and its exotic aroma of licorice, a scent that has become an urban legend in the words of critic Luca Turin. However, unlike Yohji, Urban shows a more full-bodied and dynamic aroma, offering licorice but wrapped in a fine harmony of essences, including that which inspired the composition.
From the first moment already we feel an interesting fruity aroma, an alcoholic smell of fermenting fruit. This is not something totally sweet, instead it is a more dry and wet nuance that I do not remember ever felt in a perfume. The way it is used makes it exotic without becoming nauseating and tiring, and makes of think of the light notes of what seems a digestive alcoholic fruit spirit. Licorice comes soon with a minty aroma, dry, sweet, unique as only this essence is. Mixed into it you perceive a refreshing spicy ginger aura, which nicely complements the licorice aroma, blending with it. The two contrast with a classic amber base, an incense smell with sugary notes of tonka and a discreet aroma of orange blossom, which becomes more noticeable close the skin.
Urban Legend is very harmonic, is a scent that makes its transition from its exotic flavors to perfection so that you hardly enough notice how this is done. Its longevity and projection are excellent, an aroma that tries to stand out in the urban life and doesn't do it shouting or seeming forced. It is perhaps one of the masterpieces of Sebastiane, an excellent familiar creationand unique at the same time.
