Skin Scent with a Slightly Oriental Bent
For some reason, Sarah Horowitz Parfums What Comes From Within PEACE seems more like a light floriental to me than a woody aromatic. I am reminded of slightly sweet and yellowish orientals such as Lagerfeld KAPSULE FLORIENTAL and Jil Sanders Style Pastels SOFT YELLOW.
I have no idea what is creating this effect, as this composition apparently contains no flowers! Perhaps the connection in my olfactory memory bank is simply the sandalwood combined with the vanillin facet of the amber (since amber is usually composed of labdanum, vanillin and benzoin). The musk of PEACE is a clean one, and it becomes stronger as the fragrance dries down. Eventually I'd say that it approaches a skin-scent effect.
All in all, I'd say that this perfume is pleasant but not spectacular and it is related closely to low-key sandalwood vanilla perfumes, only with a good measure of clean musk as well. PEACE smells fairly natural and there is thankfully no sour cast to the sandalwood whatsoever.
