The Scent of the Forest
“Dryad” (EDP) took 2 years to create and the Notes are: “Narcissus. Oakmoss. Jonquil. Cedrate Galbanum. Benzoin. Vetiver.
After trying it on my skin, I was “seized” by the soft, welcoming and mysterious aroma of a “chypre” that doesn’t look like a “chypre”, with an almost indescribable class and complexity (a sign that the notes are very well “intertwined”). It's one of those fragrances where it seems like we're always finding new accords. I confess, for example, that I also seemed to detect an Iris rhizome note – which is not described in the information above. But a very special Iris. A kissing Iris, not a funeral one. Other times I seemed to discover a sensual cloud of musk formatted for timeless lovers.
If the scent had color it would be green like forests and Dryads - which are tree spirits (goblins or nymphs). But there is, at the same time, a deep, super romantic, “old” and dark side that fascinates. Something “retro feel made modern”. Or a “vintage Guerlain” made in the 21th century.
A scent that looks like it was made for Peter Pan. But on the condition that, after a few hours, he becomes an adult with a Rodolfo Valentino look - and, finally, he has the romance that everyone expects, with the fairy “Tinker Bell” to the sound of the Moonlight Serenade. Or alternatively, we can imagine Aragorn traveling back in time and leaving the “Lord of the Rings” saga to embrace Arwen again – his beloved Elven Princess – in the middle of the 21th century on a “chic” terrace over the lights of Paris.
Obviously a sophisticated fragrance for very very special occasions.
