The unknown green quartz
The name from the realm of minerals goes well with this complex perfume. A raw piece of quartz, for example rock crystal, grown on stone, looks chaotic. Large and small prisms point in different directions, above they are mostly crystal clear, below opaque. Only a longer observation from different points of view reveals the beauty of quartz, because new structures always appear.
In fact, the fragrance begins quite confused. The short, unspecifically citric opening immediately changes into a fresh cider note, which also ends quickly. Now a peculiar intermezzo follows, which does not fit neither to the opening nor to the further course. It is a contradictory mixture that is both pungent and dull and sultry, as if white pepper had been crushed with nutmeg and mixed with freshly cut leaves of coriander and black currant. Fortunately, this is soon gone and forgotten!
Now it will be pleasant. Galbanum makes the fragrance green and vetiver gives it spice, which is given an ethereal note by cardamom. Over it lies a fine floral chord. The narcotically sweet aroma of jasmine and something like lilac or broom gives the perfume that certain something and makes it extremely attractive.
After many hours, in which here and there an apple was peeking out, the scent shows new facets again. Heavy amber, powdery sandalwood and iridescent musk create an undertone that accompanies the green, spicy character of the perfume in an exciting way.
Quartz is not an easily accessible perfume due to its initial bumpiness. At first I disliked it, but after a few test runs I find it pleasant and even quite seductive, also because of its persevering discreet sillage.
