Fields of Rubus
Fragrance notes
Character
Fields of Rubus opens with a tart, jammy raspberry that collides with a crisp green apple, like biting into a fruit tart just out of the oven. But the sweetness is quickly grounded by a dry, dusty patchouli and a whisper of tobacco leaf, and within minutes the plum and vanilla begin to swell, turning the whole thing into a warm, slightly syrupy mess. It dries down to a soft, powdery woodiness, where cedar and sandalwood hold hands with a musky, balsamic base. The overall image: a fallen log in a damp orchard, scattered with overripe berries and stained with tobacco juice. It feels natural in its raw fruitiness, but the synthetic gloss of the vanilla and the sharp, unblended apple note keep it firmly in the niche fringes. This is not a crowd pleaser. It suits a person who wants a linear, sweet woody fragrance that leans gourmand but refuses to be dessert. Skip it if you dislike patchouli or find fruity scents juvenile. Wear it on a crisp fall afternoon or a chilly winter evening, because those are the seasons where the heaviness feels intentional. The longevity is decent at over six hours, but the sillage stays close to skin after the first hour, so expect to hug someone if you want them to smell it. It is a solid 3.78, a good fragrance that never quite becomes great.
