Electimuss London Moroccan Medjool by J.

Moroccan Medjool is the latest release from Electimuss London’s Explorer Collection. This time, perfumer Marco Genovese, the perfumer behind the stunning Black Caviar, amongst others, takes us from under the early morning stars and leads us on a new adventure as the sun rises over the desert. It sparkles as it opens, feeling like a gem uncovered from the desert sands. A rich juicy blast of citruses feels like dancing light rays with alluring fruity facets creating a transportive sensation. You can feel the zing of the grapefruit zest with lemon getting creamy as it melts into a cool morning desert breeze conjured by an aromatic cardamom. It shimmers in greens, yellows and golden tones slowly revealing florals and soft spices, but not before a rich plump date appears at Moroccan Medjool’s heart fleshing out this treat.

Electimuss London Moroccan Medjool wears like a mirage, it’s composed in soft semi-transparent layers that flow over each other creating a hazy allure. A soft fruity aroma captures your attention and beckons you closer to where the citruses sharpen and are tart, This sets the scene for a banquet of rich sweeter facets and working as a clever counter point by making the sweet materials have a darker depth. Grapefruit grows rich and darker as deep caramel and silvery honeyed tones enter the scene. The date of the name, Medjool, shines here as its deep caramel sweetness is revealed, as if you have plucked and pulled apart one of these plump and juicy dates.

Medjool dates are my favourite kind, it’s a refined delicate yet deep and delicious caramel with a stone fruit aroma, and here in Moroccan Medjool it’s embellished with a bouquet of stunning flowers. Rose and jasmine petals adorn these delicious dates, the rose is fragrant, honeyed with ylang ylang giving a delicate silky feel to the rose’s petals while carnation adds a gentle soft fuzz and whisper of spice. The jasmine though has other ideas. It embellishes the sensual plump fleshy feel of the dates, giving off purring indolic desires. As you taste more of the dark caramel dates this dank jasmine rises up in a rather seductive and intoxicating manner. Both the rose and jasmine are here in abundance, but Moroccan Medjool is balanced with those sweeter tones making it feel opulent.

All through the wear Moroccan Medjool has this mineralic sand like feel, it lingers at the edges, as if the presence of the desert sketched around you. Elements of the grapefruit’s biting zest and cardamom’s aromatic spice began this adventure, foreshadowing the cashmeran that’s revealed as Moroccan Medjool dries down. Hints of this are also revealed in the carnation, giving you that soft sensual feel as if you’re touching the petals of the flower, though it’s cashmeran that’s bringing the desert warmth to the composition. It thickens up the translucent feel of Moroccan Medjool with a spicy musky warmth making the sunrise with a woody floral undertone summoning all those beautiful flowers as they merge into a mirage like bouquet. Some soft woody pencil shavings with dry sandy facets again work as a stunning counterpoint to the dark caramel of the dates.

Moroccan Medjool took me a back, the first time I wore it, it’s just before the final dry drown as the dates and flowers merge into one that’s sent my mind racing, I’ve eaten something similar to how this smells, dates adorned and enriched with rose, I can’t quite remember where or when, but each time it reaches this point that hazy memory of enjoyment is triggered. There’s a lovely saltine too, an umami that makes all the sweet florals smell more appealing. Under this date and floral caramel is a dusting of vanilla with a shimmer of veramoss’ cool icing sugar oakmoss fizz and sweetness. Again, it’s those clever translucent layers working and flowing over each other conjuring this complex dark musk that seems to glow like honey yet feels dry like the desert, while also giving you this rich gourmand dessert. Electimuss London Moroccan Medjool is dreamy to wear, as if you’re moving closer to a tempting fantasy that is harder to grasp growing darker but making you keep wanting more.
