Pentachords Verdant, from Tauer Perfumes was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Andy Tauer. The notes are Amber, Earth Tincture, Green Notes, Incense, Ivy, Leather, Tobacco, Water.
Pentachord verdant is a dark horse it's not like anything I've tried before, which is something that Andy Tauer does well and should be proud of. The opening is a fresh blast of green leaves and the unmistakable scent of ivy encased in a puff of smoke which quickly dissipates. This is quickly backed by a menthol coolness of mint, strangely although this is a green scent the mint doesn't smell very authentic...if that makes sense? What I mean is it's not like smelling mint leaves more like a clean, cold, minty sensation. Mint is very evident thoughout and I'm surprised it's not listed in the notes here. Then Verdant takes a turn for the earthy and soil like which is not that typical patchouli dirt but somrhting which to my nose is entirely more palatable. The drydown is still lush and green but with sweetness, a hint of leather and tobacco but only a hint this fragrance is not deep but has a lovely mixture of green metallic and earthy notes. Pentachord Verdant is very interesting stuff...I like it! The projection is actually good it's a sneaky one just when it seems very quiet you'll get a wave of it coming at you. Doesn't last on my skin though but worth a sniff for the initial reaction, couldn't justify buying it but I enjoyed sampling.
