Toskovat Hoary Date Extrait

Description

Hoary Date is a floral chypre in the classic style: sparkling aldehydes and pine over plum, iris and rose, on a resinous base of oakmoss, patchouli and myrrh. It first appeared in 2023 as F2, one of the numbered early fragrances from Toskovat, the Romanian house of self-taught perfumer David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi. Retailers describe it as nostalgia for carefree days. Aldehydes, lily of the valley, neroli and pine make the opening bright and airy. The heart is a full bouquet of plum, heliotrope, iris, mimosa and rose, with galbanum and cinnamon at the edges, and the drydown is warm and slightly animalic, with civet, amber, benzoin and vanilla.
