On card this smells identical to Solo Vulcan by Loewe. I've yet to see if this holds on the skin too.
Narcissus is an interesting note, one that can often be quite polarising for many people. Narcisse Taiji manages to capture the pure white sensuality of this flower, akin to jasmine, whilst also balancing it very nicely with an array of other complimentary notes. Most notably, I get a lot of juicy pear in the opening alongside the heady sweetness of tuberose. This sweetness is balanced very well with the dry earthiness of hay before settling into a base of patchouli. The scent itself isn’t massively complex but has two polarising personalities combined into one, created very smoothly. I would be surprised if real Narcissus absolute was used in here due to the obscene cost of the material, I imagine it’s a synthetic accord but still smells really nice. It feels more soapy and clean compared to real Narcissus, but that’s just my initial thoughts. Overall it’s a pleasant scent but not a love for me.
Okay, new brand for me and one I've been chasing down the discovery set of for sometime but they've been sold out for the last 18 months or so. Anyway, finally got my hands on them and of the six offerings this was the first impression and I'm glad to say it left a really good one. I think it opens quite green, you definitely get the salty, waxy, wierdness of tuberose, this is undoubtedly a floral perfume but wasn't screaming narcisus on my first application on skin. However, as I sit here with it on the strip it smells SOOO much more like tuberose and narcissus, in a very fresh almost light, eculyptus/camphor way. The overarching element is of mown hay, and it's perfect for those who don't like florals to be too floral and heady, it grounds them, much it the way that Pisara of Dusita perfumes uses it. It's not that hay note you get with coumarin or tonka accords it's much more summery and the fact that bran is listed in the notes here is no surprise, I'm sure bran absolute is adding much of this hay flavour. It's clever, well crafted, feminine leaning for my sensibilities but a firm like and a really good opener, I'd happily wear it because it was even nicer on my skin last night when I tried it out but I ain't gonna be buying it, doesn't speak to me in that way.
