The Greek Perfumer No.86 — character and history of the fragrance
The Greek Perfumer No.86 is a unisex perfume released in 2023 by the Greek brand The Greek Perfumer.
This eau de parfum has an expressive oriental-woody character with a gourmand touch, created for those who love rich, noticeable compositions with an air of mystery.
The Greek Perfumer brand embraces versatile perfumery, where natural motifs meet striking modern accords.
No.86 captures this aesthetic perfectly: the fragrance does not try to be neutral or understated, but unfolds expansively, gradually shifting in mood from a spicy-fruity opening to a warm, soft and deep base.
Olfactive profile and development
The composition is built on a contrast of cool smokiness, juicy fruity facets and sweetish woody density.
Tea, green, balsamic, spicy, mossy, white-floral and sweet nuances can all be sensed, making No.86 layered and highly noticeable in the air.
At the opening, incense and pink pepper create a spicy, resinous impression, while raspberry adds a juicy, slightly tart accent.
As it develops, the fragrance becomes softer and deeper: tea, davana, narcissus and white chocolate form an unusual heart where dry greenery meets creamy gourmand sweetness.
Longevity, sillage and wearability
According to its stated characteristics, No.86 has very strong sillage.
This is a fragrance with a noticeable presence, making it especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, walks, dates or occasions when you want to leave a memorable impression.
The perfume is positioned as unisex and can smell beautiful on different skin types.
On men's and women's skin, it can reveal different facets: on some, its drier cedar-and-moss side may come forward, while on others, a soft vanilla-and-chocolate character may take the lead.
The precise amount recommended for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information; given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and add more if needed.
The perfumer and similarities to other fragrances
The composition was created by Giorgos Papahatzis.
His use of incense, tea, moss, woody materials and gourmand nuances makes the fragrance both restrained and sensual: it combines noble dryness, soft sweetness and a striking smoky backdrop.
If you would like to explore a similar mood, take a look at Bentley For Men Absolute, as well as Esika Impredecible and Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay No. 25.
They do not literally replicate No.86, but may appeal to lovers of rich woody, oriental and spicy compositions.
No other concentrations of The Greek Perfumer No.86 are listed in the available data.
Overall, this is a fragrance for those who love pronounced sillage, complex transitions and the combination of incense, dark tea, a fruity spark and a warm woody-gourmand base.
