Brin de Peau, from Parfumeurs du Monde was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Clementine Humeau. It has the top notes of Almond, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Bergamot, and Curcuma (Turmeric), middle notes of Cedarwood, Jasmine, and Mimosa, and base notes of Benzoin, Hay, Liatris, Tobacco, and Tonka Bean.
This has the consistency of that chewy, not quite biscuit stuff you get from poland or eastern europe. This has a ginger twang to it which I like and what I percieved as resinous, a bit like myrrh but NOT myrrh. Then it dries down to a very deep hay absolute type smell and seeing the tobacco in the notes here I'm like yeah okay sure. This has a sepia hue, a chewy, tacky (texturally) brownness. I'm conflicted by it. I think I quite like it but, there's not enough breathing space in natural perfume, it hits you like a big block and you have to unpack it yourself. There's complexity there but it's strange, and this is FAR from the worst culprit of this collection.
