Phaedon is the new line of fragrances developed by the perfumer Pierre Guillaume, named after Plato's dialogue Phaedon. Phaedon was an imprisoned young man, bought by an Athenian slave trader. While he was serving a meal at his new master’s home, he answered the question of Socrates, who was the guest in the house. Socrates, dazzled by his spirit, bought him and made him his disciple.
Grisens is composed of incense wood and sandalwood notes.
Available as 50 and 100 ml EDT.
Grisens was launched in 2011.
Anytime I see a new straight-forward incense composition I get so excited but I've to say that Grisens left me somehow unsatisfied. If you're already familiar with fragrances such as Josef Statkus EDP, Herve Domar Diamant Noire and Dior's Mitzah (yes, I said it), there's nothing new to experience here. Grisens is a straight-forward incense/sandalwood/cedarwood compositiion with the addition of a subtle minty hint on top. Less sweet than the Herve Domar, more minimalistic than both Mitzah and the Josef Statkus but overall it still results like a starving to death love son of the aforementioned fragrances...
Close to the skin, weak lasting power. Nice but without the ability to stand out in this crowded territory.
Rating: 6.5/10
Incense and wood. Interesting because the woods used, unlike for example in Dior Homme, are warm, not chilly as Jude Law's eyes. Lasts about four hours on my skin.
