A sophisticated fougere
This new creation takes the original to a deeper and much more interesting level to my nose.
This starts off pretty fresh, green, some bergamot and perhaps some anise, classic stuff.
In the dry down L’Humaniste Extreme goes warmer and here the magic begins. It’s a fusion between a classic scent and its own dna which I simply adore. Lots of spices, tonka, patchouli and slightly minty.
Frapin also managed to extend the longevity substantially on this one compared to the original.
Recommended stuff, their best release so far.

Sunset in a bottle
Having owned this wonderful creation for a few months now I’ve had time to wear it, get to know it, understand it.
It’s pretty much a golden, spicy amber but a very special one.
Its depth combined with the rays of light makes this an uplifting and rather special wearing.
Warm cardamom powder sprinkled over woody amber. It has Toffee-like facets enveloped in the warmth of exotic balms and woods, stunning and never cloying.
I know Act 2 is supposed to evoke the feelings of watching the rising sun in the morning, blinded by its light.
But to me this is a golden sunset in a bottle, tranquility, silent whispers of special things to come.

The wonders of life
Let me start by saying that I don’t believe in signature scents, not my thing.
But had I choose one perfume to keep for the rest of my life, this would be it.
In my life I’ve always been fascinated with expressions that made me wonder whether it’d be music, art, humans and perfumes are no exception.
Sure, I like safe kinda stuff every now and then but true art is associated with uniqueness.
And that is what Encelade represents to me, something very unique, beautiful which surprises me every time I wear it.
It starts off very green, sharp and quickly goes into a more creamy territory. It reflects both darkness and light, brings new impressions to the table every time I wear it.
It’s super potent, 2-3 sprays are more than enough to keep you going.
The compliments that this has been getting me is also a surprise, probably my most complimented perfume in my entire collection.
Encelade is a polarising perfume, no doubt about it. Reviews show it. It’s a perfume that plays with shadow and light, to me it’s a reflection of the earth, life and that can only be captivated by a masterperfumer like Bisch.

Sandalwood magic
Piano Santal by L’Orchestre Parfum is one of the best sandalwoods on the market, bold statement maybe, but nonetheless I’ve tried my fair share and this one really stands out.
The sandalwood is the star of the show, no doubt. It’s a warm and milky experience which oozes class and sophistication.
It isn’t loud but ever so present in its own, calming way. It’s completely unisex. The concept of the brand is that each fragrance is associated with an instrument, in this case it’s obviously the piano.
It’s silent, calm and beautiful and not loud by any means, it’s meant for the person at ease that doesn’t scream for attention.
Amazing stuff.

Tea goodness
This was a recent discovery for me. Not knowing this particular line from Armani very well, I decided to go with this one as the notes appealed the most to me.
It is a very beautiful, calming tea like scent with cedar and suede to support it, very elegant and timeless.
It’s a silent statement, not made to be loud or obnoxious, for the person who is in peace with him or herself.
It could easily work as an everyday, signature scent, it has the quality and I get excellent performance from it. Not beast mode but 3-4 sprays lasts most of the day.
A smooth, classic fragrance for the mature person, absolutely love it. Discontinued now as far I know.
