Description:
As nuanced as the person who wears it, Excentrique Moi is a fragrance that traces the outlines of our ever-changing moods and personality. Laugh, cry, roar at the sky and then retreat, meek as a kitten within itself - all in one day? Then choose a fragrance that tells a story as complex as you are.
Excentrique Moi is a story full of contrasts. Its texture is rich with accents between sweet and bitter, vegetal and earthy, dark and light. Plum-like, wine-like dried fruit sweeten the tannic pungency of black tea leaves, and the inverted earthiness of patchouli is illuminated by a ray of lemon.
The opening has a comfortable density and is filled with a variety of dried fruit flavors and steamy-steamy tea. One could imagine curling up under a blanket with a good book on a cold winter's day. On a nearby table is a cup of chai infused with cloves and pink peppercorns.
But then the bitter green excitement of vermouth emerges, coating the scent with the eerie, pale green shimmer of an illicit glass of absinthe. Take a deep breath and the Green Fairy could just sweep you over to a table at Les Deux Magots with Degas and Gauguin, grumbling at the heavy rain clouds gathering overhead.
In the base, a plume of smoke escapes from a pile of cedar and gaiac wood that gently smolders in the corner. The effect is like wandering through an ancient forest on a cold winter's day and capturing the scent of sweet wood smoke from a distant campfire in the air. The smoke wafts gently through the composition, never dominating but weaving an earthy note of earth and wood around the red fruits and herbs.
Full of twists and turns, Excentrique Moi shifts restlessly from fruit to forest, smoking like storm clouds racing across the reflection in a glass of absinthe. Wearing it is like holding up a mirror to your feelings and moods.
