Impression Cashmeran Velvet

Ostens · 2018

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Ostens Impression Cashmeran Velvet is a unisex scent that links a fresh, green start to a creamy, sweet woodiness. The top holds cashmeran, amyris and frankincense; the heart turns to cedarwood, sandalwood and iris, giving a woody frame. In the base, Bourbon vanilla CO2, musk and patchouli soften and sweeten it, while a light spicy, synthetic edge stays in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with fewer choosing summer. It spreads across daily wear, the office and evenings out, and it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine but somewhere between. Etat Libre d'Orange She Was an Anomaly and RAAW Alchemy Blackened Santal (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Impression Patchouli Heart No.1

8.5

Ostens · 2018

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Ostens Impression Patchouli Heart No.1 is a unisex fragrance built around liquorice, patchouli and labdanum absolute, running along green and sweet lines. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of voters is small, so these ratings are an early impression rather than a firm verdict. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. It opens with liquorice, pink pepper and frankincense, a spicy and resinous start. In the heart, Provençal lavender, rosemary, lavender absolute and immortelle absolute bring a green freshness. The base settles into labdanum absolute, patchouli and amber, which feel earthy, creamy and slightly smoky. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Patchouly and Moresque Soul Batik.

Impression Cedarwood Heart

8.4

Ostens · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

Ostens Impression Cedarwood Heart is a unisex perfume that sets a fresh, green and woody character against a powdery, spicy backdrop. It opens with violet leaf absolute, cardamom and bergamot, which read green, spicy and bright. In the heart, orris concrete, ylang-ylang and galbanum bring out the floral, powdery and creamy side. The base of Virginia cedar, moss, patchouli and ambergris gives it a woody, slightly smoky, chypre footing, while the oriental touch stays in the background and the whole keeps a cool woodiness. Etro Paisley and Harry Lehmann Maracaibo have a close profile.
