Delightfully Aromatic
This is a marvelous fragrance. I’ve researched and written somewhat extensively within allied health, medical ethics, and complementary healthcare coursework the topic of medical use cannabis. To say I was intrigued when seeing perfume houses introducing cannabis as a fragrance note is an understatement.
I’ve had a few friends who are prescribed cannabis as a therapeutic and I’ve always been somewhat fascinated how the scent profiles can vary widely - from citrus fruits, to berries, to petrol, to pungent skunkiness depending upon the strain, cannabinoids, and terpenes present. While those terpenes etc can cause the buds and growing plants a very pleasant fragrance, I’ll admit the smell of burning cannabis can turn me off, at times making me feel nauseated… and that’s coming from someone who once upon a time partook quite a bit… ah, the good ole days lol
Given that the burning buds can be bothersome, I was quite curious where this frag would take one. I was very pleasantly surprised. At first spray, the cannabis is quite strong - though not in the burning bud way, but rather a growing plant, perhaps just nearing the time when it will begin to flower. After the first few minutes, that overwhelming fresh leafy cannabis subsides a bit as the patchouli provides a bit of depth and the woods seem to take center stage with a mix of aromatics that suggest more in this potion beyond just cannabis. In some ways, this reminds me a tad of DS & Durga’s Cowboy Grass. It could just be my nose, but I get a lot of what feels to me like sage, Basil and actual grass mixed in with the cannabis. But who knows, however the cannabis for fragrances are developed, perhaps they could be based upon strains with terpenes that evoke these other aromatics. This one pushes off skin pretty darn well and is quite long lasting in my experience - several hours easy, perhaps pushing the 10 hour mark and remaining quite noticeable.
While this is titled cannabis and has cannabis is all 3 levels of the pyramid, due to how well this is blended, it comes off to me as more aromatics than out and out cannabis in the sense I wouldn’t worry about wearing this for the notion I may be worried people would be like “aight who’s the stoner here!?” Or that if I got pulled over for driving too slow in my Prius they’d call out a canine unit while a very different composition, the way the cannabis plays reminds me of Hindu Kush by Mancera with the notion the cannabis is a green aromatic more than a “weed” note, man. It’s done very well and won’t have you out there smellin like Cheech and Chong.
I’ve worn this several times and I’ll be honest green aromatics haven’t been my fave scent profiles but I’ve warmed up then quite a bit and so I’m looking quite forward to spring and summer weather to hear things up and taking a cruise with Cannabis Salata and Cannabis Fruttata.
