Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

This fragrance evokes mixed feelings. It reminds me of a dense forest where moss and conifers create a damp sensation, and the morning fog envelops everything. But there's something heavy about it, as if nature itself is whispering about its sorrow 🌫️

I once wore this fragrance tirelessly, and honestly, I'd do it again. It has a strict and subtle vetiver that feels like it embraces you with fresh air, wind, and forest. It truly calms and helps gather your thoughts. There's no hint of wanting to please anyone here - neither a man, nor a woman, nor the boss, nor the mother-in-law, nor any other bipeds. Just pure enjoyment

Beautiful and expensive sound, but too reminiscent of other vetiver perfumes, even more affordable ones. Overall not bad, has brand style features, on male skin from exclusives it opens up well 😔

If I could, I would give this fragrance all 10 stars! Sycomore is simply magnificent! For the first two hours, spicy notes with a light tobacco accent are felt, and then throughout the day, a calm, warm wood unfolds, so clean and pleasant, as if you are in a sauna. This fragrance is true relaxation, it doesn't shout about itself, but delicately envelops. It stays close to the skin, there's almost no sillage, this is exactly what you need for yourself, for loved ones, for meditation and tranquility. If you love woody fragrances, feel free to buy it without testing

Sycomore doesn't evoke associations with Twin Peaks, despite its dark atmosphere. It's more like a dive into the dark depths of a forest. Mystery reigns here, where roots intertwine, and twilight conceals shade-loving plants desperately fighting for light. The dense tartness of smoldering leaves fills the air. The forest looks as if tree trunks are pillars pressing against the sky, and black crowns resemble cracks spreading from a pale March sky. This feeling leaves bitterness and melancholy, as if you're lost in this forest forever!!

This exclusive really caught my attention, but I won't buy it. It reminds me too much of two of my favorite fragrances - Encre Noire and Terre, especially in the parfum version. There's beauty in it, undoubtedly. First, you sense Terre, and then Encre Noire

Bought this scent a couple of months ago in Milan. Overall, not bad. The first and third notes are just super. But the middle somehow didn't quite work for me. Everything seems fine, especially since it's from their top collection, but I prefer the heart note (the third one) in Bleu de Chanel (EDP 2014)
5/5

The vetiver in this scent is simply amazing. The EDP concentration, unlike the EDT which is considered only for women, opens up beautifully on male skin. It's woody, fresh, and has a light earthy hint, reminiscent of a walk through a pine forest. A real burst of energy and inspiration!

The fragrance is truly impressive; upon application, notes of tobacco, cypress, and spices are felt. However, with prolonged use, some unpleasant note appears, reminiscent of the sweetish citruses from DG Light Blue and Eclat d'Aprege. Maybe it's that iso-E-super, but only specialists can accurately say what they have in common. It's difficult to wear it constantly; it starts to tickle my throat and causes coughing. Others really like it, constantly asking what wonderful scent I'm wearing. I'd like to compare it with EDT. Lately, it's become fashionable to list the full composition of products so that buyers know what they're paying for. It would be great if all formulas were also written on perfumes. That way, if I saw an allergen, I'd immediately say: "Not for me" But no, it's still the same "know-how"
