Did you groan when you saw this was a review of yet another new, obscure niche perfume? I admit I let whole perfume lines go untested simply because it’s so hard to get samples. Besides, how fun could it be for readers to wade through yet another review of something they may never be able to sniff? But some lines — small and hard to find as they are — merit the extra effort. For instance, I’d always want to smell something new by Vero Profumo, Parfums DelRae, or Ormonde Jayne. From testing Ys Uzac Pohadka, I wonder if Switzerland-based Ys Uzac might join that list.
Pohadka Eau de Parfum, which comes with the subtitle “Ainsi la nuit,” is a light, complex tobacco fragrance. Notes for Pohadka mentioned on Ys Uzac’s website include fresh cut grass, blond tobacco, immortelle, jasmine, smoked vanilla and fresh herbs. The website adds that each of the company’s four fragrances incorporates about 90 percent natural ingredients.
When I think of a tobacco-centered fragrance, my thoughts go to perfumes evoking pouches of scented pipe tobacco…
In honor of the 35th Anniversary of Star Wars, a Star Wars themed poll.
Do what you like with it! Scent a character from the movies, tell us something about Star Wars (your favorite of the movies? why you’ve never seen any of them? why you’ve seen all of them 4 times?), or just tell us what fragrance you’re wearing today…
