Contes de Parfums Reykjavik EDP

Description

Contes de Parfums Reykjavik EDP is an aromatic, mineral fragrance inspired by a trip through Iceland's Golden Circle, the moment a volcano first comes into view. Perfumer Delphine Lebeau contrasts cool, herbal sage and rosemary with a warm sauna-steam accord, then settles into vetiver, cedar and amber for a smoky, earthbound finish. It is a fragrance of balance between glacier and fire.

Scent Character

• Aromatic: sage and rosemary lead
• Fresh & Mineral: cool air, cardamom and a steam accord
• Woody & Earthy: vetiver, cedar and amber

Translation: crisp green herbs and mineral air, then the warm damp comfort of a wooden sauna, drying down to smoky vetiver and cedar.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Cardamom, Steam Accord, Pink Pepper
• Heart: Sage, Sauna, Rosemary
• Base: Vetiver, Cedar, Amber

Performance

Reviewer data on longevity and projection is limited. Herbal-woody structures with vetiver and amber typically wear well; a reasonable expectation is around five to seven hours, with a clear presence early on that softens into a woody skin scent.

Best Occasions & Season

Versatile across fall, winter and spring, for casual days, leisure, outdoor time and relaxed business settings. The cool aromatic opening also works on brisk days; in high summer heat it will feel warmer.
