Two Grumpy Cats in Harmony
The idea of incorporating the root extract of true licorice, known as licorice, and the oil from the root of sweet grass, known as vetiver, into a fragrance has been taken up by relatively few perfumers.
This may also be due to the fact that both ingredients are perceived as relatively scratchy and, as a duo, would naturally polarize even more intensely than if only one were presented alone.
As the name suggests, in Liquorice Vetiver, these two players are very much in the spotlight, which leads to a head note that starts off quite medicinally. I was and still am not entirely sure if my sample has already gone off or if this lovage-like opening is simply part of it.
From the supposedly sweet aspect, I have noticed relatively little here. The scent remains quite herbaceous, grassy, and spicy, with a bit of patchouli breaking through, which hardly stands out between the two main characters. This also applies to all other participants, although moss and a hint of something amber-like are just barely perceptible. In between, the earthy warm nagarmotha, better known as cypriol, with its earthy-spicy profile could fit in unobtrusively.
Once the herbal note has passed, Liquorice Vetiver becomes woodier and thus much softer, warmer, more lovable, and pleasant. Certainly, the components remain relatively unique, but here they complement each other quite harmoniously with enough longevity. Nothing is disturbing, and everything is flowing, so it fits.
However, anyone who cannot relate to vetiver and especially licorice should not even bother with this composition. Otherwise, it offers something extraordinary for the autumn.
