Parfumeurs du Monde · 2016

Citrus · Floral · Green

Parfumeurs du Monde Izwe is a unisex fragrance in which citrus and green accords rest on a floral, woody body. It opens with grapefruit, mandarin orange and bitter almond, and buchu adds a green edge to that fresh start. In the heart, jasmine, rose and geranium bring a soft floral note, while davana and sage lend a fruity, spicy tone. The dry-down settles on vetiver, patchouli and labdanum, a woody, earthy and resinous base that tonka bean sweetens slightly. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin for a long time without projecting far. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative. Blackbird Broken Glass and Galimard Napoléon 1815 have a close profile.
