Most cannabis fragrances are a huge disappointment, not only in terms of accuracy (I've never smelled one that accurately smells of any flower I've ever sniffed) and two, because why the fuck do you want to smell like cannabis anyway? I get that it's a personal preference thing, but I really don't want to wear a perfume which smells that way. It's not that I don't like the smell of cannabis, far from it, nor is it because I'm not fascinated by the technical feat of making an accurate cannabis accord, I am. In fact, I'm looking to make a decent weed accord just to prove that it's possible. I'm surprised no one has to date because many of the terpines and flavanoid chemicals are also used in perfumery like Limonene, carophylenes, etc.... and common cannabis flower facets like citrus, piney, skunky, cheese, gassy, even leather and earthy spicy tones, all things achievable with many of the same chemicals, so come on perfumers....there's no excuse. So is this one any good at capturing the scent of weed? No where near!!! Sorry Malin and Goetz but you haven't even managed that trope we've seen from a few brands (Bois 1920 being the only on I can think of right now) which yes do indeed smell like cannabis, but I would say more like vegetative cannabis, which has quite a pungent greeness, and offputtingly, spicy, dark, hashish smell to it. They've (not this brand or perfume remember) nailed that to be fair, but that's even less desirable than smelling like the flowers to me. Anyway back to this perfume and it's a kinda sweet, slightly herbal (crucially NOT 'erbal) , nothing of a perfume. It's not unpleasant by any means but it doesn't capture the brief in any way. I'm baffled.
