Vilhelm Parfumerie Faces of Francis | 2ml Sample

Toasted pistachio over driftwood and dry smoke.

Aldehydes and saffron give the opening a metallic lift, grilled pistachio with juniper wood and driftwood carry the middle, and oud, ambergris, cypriol, vetiver and fumed styrax dry it out into something smoky and mineral.

Perfumed by: Bertrand Duchaufour

KSI Take: The pistachio here is savoury, not sugared, which is exactly what separates it from the nut gourmands it keeps getting compared to. Projection is moderate and the drydown is where it lives, so give it an hour before deciding.
