Still Life
Still Life by Olfactive Studio is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with yuzu, elemi, pink pepper, black pepper and sichuan pepper, moves into star anise and galbanum and dries down to rum, cedarwood and ambroxan. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
Heart
- Star Anise Liquorice-like and cool. Sweet but not sugary.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Dry-down
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
