Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation by Maison Matine is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with violet leaf and juniper berry, moves into rosewood, black pepper and tea and dries down to patchouli, tobacco, leather and cotton. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Rosewood Soft, rosy wood. Gentle and slightly floral.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Cotton Soft, airy and clean. Like a shirt off the line.
