The Patchouli Pokemon
I came to this wonderful fragrance completely unexpectedly via a generous exchange. Thank you, dear Kepla!
The first impression: irritation. Bensimon? Never heard of it. Is that a Pokemon? (Side note: When the pocket monsters appeared in Germany, I had already outgrown the subject matter, otherwise there could be a comment here linking scent impression and said phenomenon in a whimsical way...)
So without further ado the Internet thrown on. Bensimon is a French lifestyle brand, founded by Serge Bensimon. His grandfather had imported us-American second-hand clothing for the French market, his grandson makes since the 1980s in clothing, shoes, cosmetics and accessories. And stop perfumes, three in number. The fragrances are apparently not available for purchase anywhere online. (Further side note: The previous owner bought "Cologne 1993" while in Paris. So physically. With personal contact and so on. Currently unimaginable...) The owners are represented here on EssenceVitae accordingly rare.
Long speech, no sense, on to the fragrance.
The individual components read promising (which must first mean nothing, how often has the totality of the individual ingredients moved me to a test, only to be disappointed by the overall composition ...).
At the very beginning, it becomes citrusy-fruity, soon joined by herbaceous lavender and a delicate hint of patchouli. I smell parallels to Guerlain's "Héritage" in the phase. In the next half hour, the patchouli becomes stronger, wonderfully dry and unsweet, similar in impression to Ulrich Lang's "Nightscape". Patchouli now dominates the fragrance, delicately surrounded by powdery myrrh and slightly animalic sandalwood. Amber and musk complement these impressions, musk also complements the unsweet vanilla base reached after a few hours.
As an overall impression, a slightly powdery-animalic, dry-earthy patchouli fragrance with moderate radiation and durability.
Very nice, even if the wheel is not reinvented here. "Cologne 1993" may move in and will complement my patchouli portfolio until the last drop
