SHINJUKU MOOD / Blind Barber — if it’s Sunday it must be moody

It’s fast sunday and church today. Went with a personal favorite of mine, from the House of Chanel, specifically their Les Exclusifs line. It’s a classic smelling fragrance with a bold, timeless appeal. The line isn’t for everyone because they aren’t as modern focused and mass appealing as Bleu de Chanel or Allure Homme, but i think that’s what makes it special. It’s a powdery, spicy, amber scent, perfect for formal occasions. Longevity is fantastic, projection moderate, which fits scenarios like these even better. The ultimate scent for something noticeable but not overpowering. The opening notes are a powdery bitter orange and neroli blend, which immediately connects to a heart of strong patchouli, orris, and rose. Patchouli is dominant here, and acts as a fantastic, smoky bridge to the base, a blend of woods, incense, resins, and a unique note of white chocolate. Out of all the chanel’s i’ve tried, this is a personal favorite of mine. I like Coco, Platinum Egoiste, and I love Bleu de Chanel Parfum, mainly because it’s a more mature, sophisticated take on the Bleu line. I tried L’exclusif and found it a bit underwhelming for such a price. Enjoyed it, but still prefer the development of the Parfum. Coromandel combines the aspects i like of both fragrances, and gives it a classic, timeless appeal. This one did not disappoint at all. Blind buy safe? not so much, but it’s certainly signature scent worthy. Have i found this as a new signature? I’m still debating, but nonetheless, i love it.
