Chabaud Patchouli 1973 and Cèdre Noble

Actually, the title is a reason to finally tell about the Chabaud brand. It still produces chocolates, sugar candies and creamy taffy, fans can rest assured, but for the two most recent projects, Chabaud chose completely different themes - patchouli and cedar.

Cèdre Noble Chabaud has all the shades of the scent of pine air in winter. It seems as if the snow is crunching under the runners of a sleigh, snot is freezing in the nose and a heady fragrant piece of resin from a freshly cut fir tree is stuck to the fingers. After a while, Cèdre Noble warms up and gives off a tart cognac spirit and the animal smell of a bear canopy, under which, despite the frost, the sleigh is warm. Cèdre Noble sounds interesting on the skin and should be especially good on men. But I dream of such a fragrance for the home, because Cèdre Noble has will and space.

In Patchouli 1973, the free spirit also rages. Only this is the July spirit with its heat and herbs drying on the roots, lavender fields and angry wild rose hips, through which you have to fight your way to the saving shade of the forest. There, in the shade, in the cool, you can fall laughing on the damp ground by the stream and press your lips to the water with salty sweat. In Patchouli 1973, you can clearly feel this salt and the breath lost from running, chocolate, strong southern wine and heady fun without wine. There is even free lav under the first bush you come across and absolutely no pathos.

Lavender, orange, geranium, cinnamon, patchouli, sandalwood, amber, musk.

Both fragrances were made for Chabaud by independent perfumer Stephanie Bakush. At the very beginning of her career, she worked for several years at L`Artisan Parfumeur side by side with Bertrand Duchaufour, at the same time she created the stunning predatory Invasion Barbare Parfums MDCI and a couple of years ago - the crazy spicy Fugit Amor Jul et Mad, and now two successful compositions for Chabaud. I really hope that they are not the last. If we talk about the personal perception of the new Chabaud products, then both are good, but if in Cèdre Noble it is simply easy to breathe, then in Patchouli 1973 I am passionately in love from the first second, I wear them, tell everyone about them and already dream of a large bottle.
