Challenge: see SOTD pic
I’ve made an effort not to dickhole fragrances this year. Unfortunately, the color coordinated challenge backed me into a corner, today.
I was heartbroken when Tres Matres was discontinued. It was an early favorite in my den, and is still a fragrance I love. I wish I had some backups. There's a floral note at the opening that smells pretty and is just right for spring. The petrichor accord comes through from the start. I smell ozone and damp earth. I'm getting a lot of sweetness from the floral note, now.
With the splash: again, I get a green floral note in the opening which melds nicely with the petrichor.
The frag isn't much different. The ozone and green note come through a bit more and project nicely. I get less of the damp earth in this.
