Patchouli, sandalwood and sage: the first batch release, crafted for the elegant. Do not wear it with casual attire; it would be a mismatch; it demands a shirt and tie. It smells of old cork from expensive 1950s wine, rugged, woody and damp, before descending into vetiver and cypress.
When I smell vintage proposals, I get lost in the aromatic richness and travel with my mind. There are perfumes that, upon testing, bring distant memories to mind. I like modern scents, but I have a weakness for these classic aromas. Now and then I think of the pre-internet era. I lived my youth without the web and know firsthand the difference from today. It is beautiful, no doubt, but sometimes I think of my adolescence and am glad I did not have it. In those slow communications, my friends and I wrote letters above all else. In summer, sending postcards was mandatory; going on holiday without them would be an offence. Then came letters from afar, from relatives or lovers miles away, and you counted the days for them to arrive. Teck by Molinard was love at first sniff and reminds me of those times. Thank you, Josesan. Aesthetically, those rounded bottles seem to belong to another century. Molinard does not win design awards, but inner values count if they are real. It is very masculine, with intensity and medium-high longevity, satisfactory and well-made. How to describe Teck? It is pure archaic and fantastic. It leaves a pleasant breeze on the skin thanks to the sandalwood and vetiver, with touches of mastic and cypress. I do not perceive the patchouli well. Is it contemporary or outdated? Perhaps, but I like it because it is well-made and moves me. It is a perfume with many stories to tell.
TECK, another marvel from Molinard, a brand I am increasingly fond of. I believe it is a resinous chypre unisex, dry, intense and very its own. The opening features bitter citrus with drops of sun-drenched resins; they are not juicy, but of rough orange peel and dark green lemon. Then the wild shrubs take control: heather, sage, cypress and juniper turn the scent into a resinous juice that intoxicates the senses. It is the terpenes and miricetin of the juniper when the summer sun parches the hills and the sirocco wind cleanses the earth. It is walking through a Mediterranean mountain with legs exposed to the juniper, which scratches and smears you with its thick kisses. It is not wanting to wash off the skin that retains the heat of the countryside and that sticky love that preserves its scent beyond human contact. TEck (from teak) prolongs with a drying phase sweetened by amber sandalwood and a melliferous tone of bees feeding on the juniper. I tested the old version in Eau de Toilette, with moderate trail and acceptable longevity, although the current one, in Eau de Parfum, could have a more pronounced performance.
