The softest wood gnome

"Monochrome" by Salle Privée is a modern greenling, somewhere in the exclusive niche land between "Pino Silvestre" and "Aventus". Although one can also save this comparison with such a span and woody walk...

"Monochrome" and Salle Privée, respectively, give me back a little faith in hiking packs, as I've had rather lean experiences in the field the last few weeks. But this easy to wear ranger - neat, almost futuristic, much more fruity than I would have thought or previous opinions suggest - is a nice, very solid fragrance. Clear, conceptual, high quality. And an encouragement for the next few days of Salle Privée testing. A slightly leathery fir tree on the holodeck of the Enterprise. Future Cedar.

Flacon: pure and solid
Sillage: matter-of-fact
Durability: 6 hours, rather less often

Verdict: a woody light cedar scent with no real highs or lows. Quite fruity and juicy on my skin. At least for a pyramid without any fruit. Good.

A bath under fir trees in the metal magic

Quiet it is.

Only the creaking of the mighty trees in the wind and isolated bird calls can be heard. The idea to put the hot tub today in front of the hut was terrific. I lie in the warm water while the back of my head rests on the edge of the metal tub. The scent of the pine needles, which trickle into my face, mixes with the metallic smell of the tub and the herbaceous aroma of the bath water.

Quiet it is - and relaxed I close my eyes.

Salle Privées Monochrome has almost a wellness character. The implementation of the notes comes very close to a bath additive in green color with the scent of spruce forest in my opinion - without looking cheap. Fir is very present here, mixing with cedar, vetiver & galbanum as it progresses, creating a very soothing scent. A hint of clove also flashes in between. The twist makes here the metallic aroma, which I can lead back to none, the notes mentioned here, but gives the fragrance a pleasant cool and mineral note.

Personally, I would wear Salle Privées Monochrome actually only in the own four walls to have a soothing smell in the nose after a stressful week or I need some relaxation. For other uses, it would be too quiet and unexcited for me.

Chicken, happily finding a pencil lead.

Not sure I am, whether this fragrance would have inspired me under normal circumstances to a review. However, after I have so far four of four products of this brand verrissen, it seemed to me not fair play to pass over this yet quite successful in silence.

After one of the Vorstater in the fragrance has made out an incontinent fir, I can, however, no longer try to put in terms of original images and word creations one on it and remain factual.

Monochrome is the first fragrance in the series with an appropriate name. Indeed, the fragrance seems monochromatic, in a certain way monotonous in the better sense of the word. It consists of dark, muted tones and alternates between anthracite, sepia and dark olive.

The fragrance does not show any distinct development. He strays a bit to the right and to the left, also makes sometimes males or a jump, but all without a systematic march. I therefore describe it below as if it were linear, even if, strictly speaking, it is not. He is of medium durability and projects decidedly restrained.

The backbone of Monochrome, if you grant it one, is pencil cedar, and that includes an anthracite lead from wherever. Who likes this characteristic note (I do) is, if he gets the fragrance as a gift, already not badly served (a purchase is recommended only if you have too much money).

This gray-brown marker (fragrance marker, not highlighter, these luminous pens smell different) is a dark green forest-fresh and a herbdunkel spice-brown fragrance sound carpet, or maybe just a few carpet tiles of each variety, put to the side. The greenery is probably supposed to be expressed by fir, vetiver, rosemary and galbanum, although I would have tended not to think of the last two, anyway. As for the spices, I would have guessed the K groups (caraway, coriander, cardamom). Clove I find less plausible, in any case lacks the distinctive clove characteristic.

Leather is completely missing in my opinion. So far so neat. Unfortunately, one has probably believed here not to renounce the generous use of pleasing aroma chemistry to make the fragrance connectable to the olfactory habits of fragrance novices who are happy to recognize their shower gel or detergent. Therefore, it seems to me, the pencil forest spice scent, which in itself had the potential for primal gruffness as well as subtle finesse, presents itself soft-wadded to a certain extent in an elusive, enigmatic sweet freshness and fruity (! - from wherever) creaminess that robs the monochrome image of all hard, exciting contrasts and softens it to the border of kitsch.

Not a great, but also not a failed fragrance; coherently composed and for friends of the woody-spicy direction as a smooth, inoffensive entry fragrance well wearable.
