Wearing One's Skin
The second L'Objet Parfumant created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux in collaboration with Roberto Greco, Porter Sa Peau, is a clever and well-put-together perfume composition, much like the other two, Œillères and Rauque. What I appreciate about all is that you can tell by smelling and wearing them how a lot of thinking and preparation went into creating them. Years of back and forth, brainstorming, and much work. If only more perfumes would follow this creative process...
Porter Sa Peau, as the name implies, is a fragrance that tries to convey the idea of wearing one's skin. A perfume that would merge with your persona and become more than a figurative extension of oneself. And it does smell like that. From the moment you wake up and take a shower, go out and mind about your day, meet your loved one, spend some time together, and end up sharing the evening as well. It evolves cleverly through all of these stages. A burst of aldehydes in the opening suggests the cleanliness. It comes across as soapy in this stage. The heart is infused with floral accords such as narcissus, a flower which oftentimes has a leathery, musky odor, and hawthorn, for a slightly powdery, musky, and dry feel. They pair together well further accentuating the idea of the skin smell, which, as the day goes by, starts to lose the soapy odor and produce its natural one. As you meet your lover and share some fun time so does the base of this perfume get quite naughty, with plenty of ambergris and musks. Hence, the circle is now complete, and the day is over, ready to start fresh tomorrow, hopefully just as eventful.
A clever composition with a cohesive and clear progression. It is my least favorite in the perfume trio, as I'm not too fond of aldehydes or pretty floral compositions, and by the time it gets sweaty enough for me, I'm left wanting to spray something else. However, I appreciate its creativity, and I'm sure many would find it irresistible. I guess I'm more of a country-side boy, so I'll spray my Rauques and Œillères.
