11 Candles in Antwerpen, from Freddie Albrighton was released in 2021. The perfumer behind this creation is Freddie Albrighton. The notes are Beeswax, Myrrh, Orchid, Pink Pepper.
This was my latest perfume purchase and I’m so happy with it. Freddie continues his quest for simplicity and themes which appeal to him, and this one spoke to me. The opening is floral, laconic, soapy musks and coconut (not any kind of conventional coconut note, think the toasted coconut of Santos de Cartier or something) also a kind of mild, classic chypre, peach fuzz. It’s powdery. Even a light damascene or even a spectre of violet. There’s a push n pull, a slight astringency of hairspray or ‘hairy’ salon things. The trump card though is the waxiness of the 11 candles… of the title. This is an accord which cleverly uses myrrh to create the effect of an ancient altar or something, coated in candle wax. My description probably sounds it sound complex, like a lot going on, but there really isn’t, it’s one cohesive vibe, a wonderful idea, perfectly executed. Bravo!
