Chicago High
Chicago High by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with champagne, pineapple and bergamot, moves into honey and tobacco and dries down to leather, patchouli and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Champagne Fizzing, bright and slightly yeasty. Celebration as a smell.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
