Happy birthday to Mona di Orio! The link above includes another link to one of her last interviews before her passing. (I would have added it directly but for some reason, it's not rendering properly in Tumblr.)

My favourites from Mona include Vanille, Oudh Osmanthus and Santal Nabataea.

SOTD : “bois d’ascèse”

At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical fire sun I come with yet another smokey scent today! It’s more natural fire oriented though.

Having tested a panoply of fire/smoke themed perfumes, I have come to believe that Bois d’Ascèse can best be described as a synthesis of everything that has been done in the repertoire of smoky woods pushed to a radical degree. It gives off a smoked leather effect similar to Mona di Orio but more intense. The departure is rather violent, leaving an impression of acrid smoke in its wake, at the crossroads of forest fire and swirls of incense. Then, as the ashes and smoke fall, burnt cinnamon, charred oakmoss, pine and cedar wood enter the scene upon contact with the skin. The fragrance then becomes quite gentle & even comfortable, finishing off on mellow notes of whiskey, labdanum & amber.

#I may or may not love the scent of smoke a little too much #but everybody knows that I’m a good girl officer #or am I #girl you're literally a smoker be fr #giggles #SOTD #naomi goodsir

Mona di Orio’s Santal Nabataea: leaving so soon?

This pleases me.

Luca Turin loathed this perfumer, but this fragrance was not composed by her, but rather by Frederick Dalman, the “in house nose” of the company that continues in her wake (the eponymous founder of the company passed away in 2011). I say this because I like this perfume, at least at the front end.

Restrained, bone-dry, almost a sawdust quality in the opening – a starkness I love. Black pepper, because what perfume am I going to sample and review that doesn’t contain black pepper? Come on Hints of apricot, a fruit to which I am not too opposed when it appears in perfume. The list tells me there are currant leaves – I’ve never smelled them before, but they may be providing a greenish note here. Slightly churchy oppoponax meets slightly astringent oleander, with coffee notes lying underneath, but the key is a special, renewable Australian sandalwood.

I can imagine people smelling this and being turned off by a funny, greenish edge in the sandalwood, like being unexpectedly the butt of someone else’s sarcastic remark. I sort of like being treated like this for some reason, so I enjoy this acerbity. My sample is small, so it’s difficult for me to gauge sillage or even longevity.

This fragrance is sympathetic to the twin energies of morning coffee and complete exhaustion. It’s also, though it’s been a long time since this is been relevant to me personally, perfect ‘aftermath’ wear, ideal for reconstituting yourself after whatever the hell went down the night before.

Supposedly inspired by the ancient city of Petra, indeed the woods in this tell of sandstone, chalk dust, dry air.

My only complaint about Santal Nabataea is the back end: I’m not sure what is in the base, exactly, but I suspect there is something synthetic propping up the sandalwood. Over time, this synthetic spine asserts itself. It’s inoffensive, but it lacks the nuance of the opening.

One thing I’m getting used to in fragrance-land is that lists of notes are not lists of ingredients. Some accords don’t actually contain any trace of the ‘real’ thing they present (lily of the valley is a notorious example; you can’t get viable essential oil out of this flower, so any ‘muguet’ accord you smell is a perfumer’s contraption). I’m not astute or experienced enough to identify the aromachemical that pins and stabilizes the back end of Santal Nabataea, but I wish it were as inventive and interesting as the front end, which I find delightful.

Santal Nabataea may warrant a larger sample; if a stronger application yields a difference in the drydown, I will issue an updated review.

A couple months ago, an acquaintance passed along a bottle of SMYTHE, the first fragrance from SMYTHE (pronounced sm-eye-th; to avoid confusion, every time I refer to the clothing brand, I’m going to bold it.)

SMYTHE is one of my favourite Canadian fashion designers. It is best known for its sharply tailored blazers for women and bold, editorial pieces. In researching this review, I also learned its blazers are a favourite of a certain member of the royal family.

The nose behind SMYTHE is Julian Bedel, founder of the Argentinian niche house, Fueguia 1833. Hilariously, the company website spells both the name and year of Fueguia incorrectly as “Feuguia 1883.″ And this careless-to-the-point-of-insult mishap pretty much foreshadows the kind of scent we are going to get, priced at an exorbitant CA$275/50ml.

SMYTHE is described as “anchored in sandalwood with primary notes of cedarwood and patchouli and sub notes of clove bud and bergamot... made using globally sourced natural ingredients in small batch production quantity.”

What we have is a sad, heavy haze of a sandalwood scent. If I’m going to be charitable, there are shades of spice and nuttiness in SMYTHE if you go hunting for them, and there’s even an impression of a lovely richness in there if you can mentally delete the obnoxious musks which my skin seems to amplify. But at this price point, you’re far better off enjoying 75ml of the truly transcendent Santal Nabataea by Mona di Orio (€195 or CA$263 + shipping).

SMYTHE was described to me by the aforementioned acquaintance as a Santal 33 Le Labo dupe (of which I am not at all a fan). I’d say yes and no. If we eliminate the most interesting part of Santal 33 - the attractive, leathery opening that doesn’t last long enough before collapsing into an amorphous cloud of faux sandalwood and dense musks, the parallel is apt. I’ll also note here that the two also share very inflated pricing.

SMYTHE also reminds me more of other Fueguia scents. For those unfamiliar with the house, Fueguia launched with almost 100 releases set at eye-watering prices, each featuring minute variations of a handful of base themes (woody leather, amber leather, smoky leather). After you’ve smelled a few Fueguias, you’ve smelled them all. SMYTHE is no different.

I hate to write this review because I adore SMYTHE and I’ve sympathy points for anyone trying to work on something creative during a global pandemic (trying being the operative word in this sentence. OK, perhaps I’m not feeling sympathetic at all.). But I have to be honest: SMYTHE is a total disappointment. As it stands, there is pretty much no relation between SMYTHE’s self-assured editorial aesthetic and its namesake’s middling fluff. The only potential saving grace is that this scent is made in small, dated batches a la Le Labo and one retains the faint hope that the dated batch I received was subpar.

When I think of SMYTHE, I think of a contemporary look, pieces with daring and unexpected proportions that preserve a traditional spine. If you’re looking for something to wear with your SMYTHE blazer, may I recommend Malle’s Geranium Pour Monsieur instead? It’s a modern, crisp and colourful masculine-leaning scent that defies expectations while tipping its hat to the fougère that I think is a much better match.
