Quick reviews of two niche variations on green: Nomenclature Shi_so and Cire Trudon Deux (II).
I am rather late with this one — Shi_so is exactly the sort of crisp and light fragrance that comes in handiest in high summer. Like the others in the Nomenclature line, it’s highlighting a synthetic aromachemical, in this case, glycolierral, which is meant to capture crushed ivy leaves…

Nomenclature says:
While natural essences bask in the limelight, synthetics are the clandestine infiltrators that spark off fragrant revolutions. It was the discovery of coumarin that yielded the first modern perfume, Fougère Royale, in 1881. Aldehydes lent their abstract sheen to Chanel N°5. Ethyl-vanillin enhanced Shalimar’s plush cleavage.

Whether they imitate nature, tease out its innermost secrets or veer off into botanically impossible smells, synthetics are the true building blocks of perfumery. Elegant solutions discovered by scientists, wafting from labs onto skin and into your nose.
