Deep and soulful olfactory music
I've finally started to wear the sample set I bought months ago from Pentalogies and I'm smitten. I smelled them on mouillettes and now I'm wearing Étude 1.1 - La Vue as my SOTD. It is just stunning. Clémentine Humeau is the nose behind this enigmatic, deep, soul-stirring scent. It is just a breathtaking work of art, one can hear the symphony behind this parfum.
A heart of Iris, woody and staid lives in this, accented by an almost animalic carrot seed. It opens with the cool twang of elemi, shaded by Cypress branches, dusted with spices of black pepper, cardamom and nutmeg - all with the pop of aldehydes and juniper berries. As we dry down, ethereal cedar becomes prominent, abetted by musky ambrette seed and whiffs of heliotrope.
This is a must buy for me.
