1773 - Boston Tea Party

Chronicles · 2023

Citrus · Aquatic · Green

Chronicles 1773 - Boston Tea Party is a unisex fragrance that opens with marine notes, salt and bergamot, then turns to black tea and leather within a green, aquatic frame. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only an early indication. There is no vote on seasons or occasions, so nothing can be said about them; being unisex, it suits women and men alike. The top opens citrusy and fresh with marine notes, salt and bergamot. In the heart, castoreum, leather and black tea build a leathery, green character. The base of ambergris, oak wood and cedar forms a dry, woody, chypre-like ground. Zara Zara Sport and Miguel Matos Sailor Stories have a close profile.

Trail of the Grasses / Próba Traw (2020)

7.5

Bale · 2020

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Bale Trail of the Grasses / Próba Traw is a green, woody unisex fragrance built around juniper berry, vetiver and galbanum. It opens with mandragora and juniper berry; the heart of vetiver, cypriol and galbanum sets a green, earthy, smoky tone. Tree moss and leather form the base. Sweet, spicy and resinous accords soften the sharp greenness, while the chypre and fougère structure gives it a dry frame. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes makes that picture tentative. It suits men and women alike, with a natural, slightly rough character. Atelier des Ors Cuir Sacré and Harry Lehmann Oud have a close profile.
