Green Quietpod
Casa de Coco - a new fragrance house has sought its place in the niche perfumeries. It tries to tell a story from the Andes with Inca priests and mysterious plants. I admit that I am not too receptive to such storyboards. I quickly tune out the words of the sales staff and try to fathom what my nose is trying to tell me.
But first, there's the bottle. An almost cubic square with a pale yellow liquid and a massive button on top, reminiscent of a metallic, embossed leaf. The bottle slumbers in a plain beige cardboard box with recessed lettering and a metallic seal. Like it all in its simplicity, but I can't connect it to South American cultures.
The fragrance is a green freshness bomb from the start. Dominate initially still the citric chords of lemon and lime, so they take themselves after half an hour slowly back and give the green notes their place, where now and then also some extremely pleasant aquatic touches are there. But the fragrance remains herbaceous green for a few hours, before woods come to it and finish with a soft, sweet bed.
Paq'os is a green scent. What his meaning "Inca priest" wants to tell me thereby, I do not recognize it unfortunately. Because these green notes are all plain and little sublime. And instead of its South American origin, where I would look for exotic fragrance components, I would rather locate the fragrance in Italy. Although here I miss the numerous different chords with all their rough edges of the green Italian gentlemen classics quite.
In contrast, Paq'os is green-clean. Clearly unisex and tailored to a young, modern clientele. Very restrained and thus ideal for a short office day in the open-plan office with a few trivial meetings and telcos and a business lunch, where a little later no one can remember who was there and what they discussed or ate.
Yet Paq'os is by no means a trivial fragrance. He is good in his soft-green expression and my durability of just under eight hours also acceptable. But it doesn't live up to its name and the story behind the fragrance house. In any case, I don't recognize anything here. Had I perhaps but better listened.
