Been Trying To Meet You
Fragrance notes
Character
Been Trying To Meet You is a fragrance for open air and movement, not for dim rooms or heavy evening clothes. The opening rushes forward with black elder and grass, brightened by two peppers that prick rather than burn. It feels alive and slightly untamed, the kind of scent that belongs on skin warmed by sun. There is a cheerful restlessness here that asks the wearer to be outside and in motion, not seated at a table waiting for the night to begin.
The drydown is where the real argument sits. Immortelle and honey turn the heart into something golden and breadlike, with bran adding a dry, floury texture that keeps the sweetness from becoming a syrup. Hay and ambrette in the base pull the composition toward dried fields and warm skin, while amyris smooths the edges so the herbs never feel sharp. It is herbal and floral at once, a sunny haze that lingers on the body like heat absorbed through linen. The tobacco accord arrives quietly, more suggestion than smoke, giving the final stretch a rustic calm that feels earned rather than applied.
The limitation is clarity. So many notes compete here that the outline sometimes blurs, and the grass, pepper, bran, and hay can cancel each other out instead of forming a single clear voice. It is not a scent for someone who wants a simple message or a clean line from start to finish.
