The clear melody of royal Iris.
The exclusive fragrance of dried Iris root plays with silvery violet flowers in a white clean garden. This classic Iris with its crisp beauty is complemented by the warmth of dry wood from a rosewood tree. A hint of mysterious amber gris decorates it and adds an expensive note to the fine Bourbon Vanilla ornamenting the white Iris. Pentachords White was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Andy Tauer.
I find Tauer Perfumes Pentachord WHITE initially similar to a nineteenth-century violet perfume, something along the lines of Borsari VIOLETTA DI PARMA. From there a few different rather odd stages are traversed.
The smell of old musty books in the cold basement of a library is the first, followed by the smell of what seem to be planks of plywood. The plywood then begins to darken, becoming redder and redder until it is redwood.
By the drydown, I smell the Playdoh-ish violet of Christiane Celle CALYPSO VIOLET minglng with the redwood, but mainly it's Playdoh and violet at this point, with much less woodiness.
Do I like it? Yes, I guess I do, though I don't know that I need to have a bottle. WHITE seems to me to be an interesting experiment. Not sure that the world was deficient before the creation of a synthetic violet wood perfume which mimics in the opening and the drydown the scent of readily available natural violet perfumes...
This. Is. Weird.
I try to recall myself, where I've smelled it before. Cause I've smelled it for sure: it has something plastic/synthetic inside, like sweet rubber for pencils or good old Byblos. Sweet, plastic, nice but weird as a fragrance. Violets and iris are very subtle and almost unnoticeable, woody vanilla takes the wheel.
It gets very sugary on my skin and ends as a siamese twin for Vanitas by Profvmvm Roma. Sugar with orange blossoms. Don't ask me, how could they come out there.
When I was a child, in Hungary, there was a sweet candy, which has this kind of fragrance. I adored that candy, so this memory makes me love this scent :)
In YouTube there is a video about Pentachords fragrances, in which Andy Tauer tells a lot of things about these 3 parfume. For example, they are really synthetic, Andy Tauer would like to prove, that a fragrance would be good if only it has five notes and the notes are truly synthetic.
I think sometimes a memory or a feeling can make the fragrance so good.....
The more I wear it, the more I love it!
this is a strange thing concerning structure. it's not like the classical pyramid, but more like a star, or better: like a ring- or ok! a pentagram- with pulsating edges. sometimes the iris comes out, then again the vanilla is there, then it's woody etc.... interesting but also makes me nervous. has not at all the calming and "happy-feel" of iris...and take care- stays forever: if you spray it in the morning you will still have your dreams filled with this alien cotton candy...(happened with me with "verdant" which is even stronger)
so, feels quite experimental in behaviour...
edit:
I wouldn't wear it. too synthetic.
I found this to be soft, sweet and gentle but fairly long-lasting.
It initially put me in mind of Lush's "V" from long ago, so I tried some to compare the scents.
"V" was deeper and muskier but still powdery and soft, if that makes sense, whereas "Pentachords: White" soared higher, like soft fluffy vanilla-candy clouds.
Charming and innocent and disarmingly adorable; Julie Andrews could've put this with her Favourite Things, alongside the "whiskers on kittens" and "warm woollen mittens"!
Thanks to Yamba1 for the opportunity to sample the 3 new Tauer perfumes. This one was truly objectionable - a high screechy Liquid Paper Thinner smell so chemical it was an immediate scrubber. Not even a hint of any florals. Soooo disappointed with this. Tauer's earlier creations were so much better. 0/10
