Des Cendres
8.4Les Abstraits · 2023
Green · Spicy · Woody
Les Abstraits Des Cendres is a green, smoky and leathery chypre: birch tar and Swiss pine tar sit on an earthy base, and it reads masculine.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and business settings, and most voters call it masculine and classic.
It opens with birch tar, Swiss pine tar, aniseed and galbanum. In the heart, Moroccan mint, violet leaf, clove and leather soften the smoke and green, while Indian tuberose stays in the background. The base of Indonesian patchouli, Haitian vetiver and oakmoss dries down earthy and woody.
