I have collected five non-trivial fragrances for those who are tired of banality. No unnecessary sugar and clear bouquets, informs Ukr.Media.
Hermès Un Jardin sur la Lagune
Usually, the marine theme in perfumery is the predictable salt right in the forehead. Here, everything is more refined. Imagine not a sun-drenched beach with noisy seagulls, but a closed, slightly neglected garden in Venice. There is a cold stone embankment, a little fog and magnolias. No cheerful fruit baskets. On the skin, it settles with the smell of expensive clean linen and a little damp wood. Now, while it is still cool, the flowers sound louder, but I am waiting for summer – in the heat it gives off a cool mineral saltiness, which makes you physically cooler.
100BON Citrus Zest
If you want something more understandable, but not too banal. Behind the pyramid – mandarin, lemon and rose, sounds like a recipe for another compote. But the bitterness saves everything. It's not sweet pulp, but a hard, ethereal citrus peel that has just been crushed with your fingers. It perfectly awakens when a double espresso has not yet taken effect. Thanks to the patchouli, the aroma does not evaporate in five minutes. In the summer, it smells like a glass of ice water with bitter zest floating in it – a real salvation when the asphalt begins to melt.
Diptych Shadow in the Water
The rose is announced, but not the one in rustling cellophane. It is a whole bush, wild, with thorns, broken branches and green leaves rubbed in the fingers. Blackcurrant is mixed in with this, and its tart buds after the rain rather than sweet berries. It is strange, moist and very real. It does not suffocate the surroundings, but sits close, leaving a barely perceptible but very interesting trace.
Cologne Cedrat Matiere Premiere
There are days when you still have a long way to go before your vacation, but your soul is already desperately craving the sea. For such cases, it's good to have Cologne Cedrat from Matiere Premiere on hand. The guys took juicy bergamot, generously sprinkled black pepper and poured it all over with cooled mate. It sounds strange, but the peppery tea tartness works as a good anti-stress. It's like you're sitting in another meeting, but you smell like you've just returned from the coast somewhere in southern Europe.
Replica Under the Lemon Trees by Maison Margiela
And finally, another savior from the city bustle. The name speaks for itself, but the essence is not in the lemons themselves. This is the smell of shade on some Italian afternoon, when all normal people have gone for a siesta. At first, it hits the nose with lime, but this rush quickly subsides, turning into dry coriander, tea and heated wood. The complete illusion is created that you are sitting under the dense crown of a huge tree and inhaling the smell of leaves, and not squeezing juice. A very calm, slightly introverted story without excess sugar.
