Ingredients 07/2012 is a remarkably interesting and abstract take on perfume, with the composition remaining a secret to allow each individual to form their own relationship and understanding of the scent. I love the idea, and I really enjoy the way it smells too, usually I’m not the biggest fan of Crivelli but this is great. I do pick up on the synthetic plasticky/metallic accord that others are describing, but it’s not overpowering. From here, I’m mainly picking up on a lot of saffron and patchouli - it’s this contrast between something dark and earthy, alongside this rich, metallic sweetness. It also seems very woody, perhaps with a lot of cedar, mixed in with a large array of other stuff which to be honest is too difficult to pick out. If I had to compare it to something, the combination of saffron and patchouli ever so slightly reminds me of Secret Tryst by Fragrance du Bois. However, the metallic nature of this scent renders it significantly different at the same time. I like it, not sure I’ll be buying it though.
