To all who love patchouli so much that they drift further and further away in exploratory fragrance missions, Jeroboam Ligno signed by Vanina Muracciole, centers focus. The opening is hard and unmerciful, unfiltered and sincere: patchouli so clean that it’s minty, metallic, and complexly herbal. Right over it (as this composition seems to be inverted, somehow) hovers a strong lavender, cool and minty just as well, supported by what seems to be oakmoss and a malty,chocolaty, raisiny tinge- this whole layer reads, in fact, like a fougere (albeit deconstructed from a forest floor and agilely reassembled on the deck of a legendary quest).
Higher still—and widening like an inverted pyramid—floats an airy but dense layer of woods, smokey and tarry and lived-in like the belly of a pitted ship: guaiac, birch, vetiver; to their side, an improbable sharp rose and a comforting notion of roasted barley.
As all fuse into the skin, Jeroboam Ligno by Vanina Muracciole gets feminine like Penelopa but briny and dirty as a sailor’s song: hints of realistic musk, honey, ambergris, and castoreum whiff up and ever upwards, pointing to the zenith and providing, to all, both permanence and a reminder of our passing. Much like a mast on open seas.
