Hors-Piste
Hors-Piste by Bastille is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, sweet orange and juniper berry, moves into mate, ginger and pink pepper and dries down to cedarwood, ambroxan and jasmine. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
