L’Artisan Parfumeur:  Natura Fabularis – 18 Glacialis Terra EDP

Released in 2016 as part of the Natura Fabularis Collection, Glacialis Terra (“Glacialis”) is an aromatic green fragrance.  I’ve selected this fragrance to share with you today as we are now experiencing the first snow of the season; this just seemed appropriate.

Glacialis opens with a chilled vetiver.  It is fresh and green.  There is a slight bite to the opening as an absinthe adds an anise-tinge.  Somehow, the vetiver remains green without becoming hay or grass-like.  There is a subtle hint of frozen white florals that dance through the middle of wear.  Through the rest of wear, Glacialis ebbs and flows like a walk through a proverbial Winter Wonderland.  It retains its clean freshness and gives us an interesting take on vetiver through the lens of Winter.

Glacialis wears on me with soft projection for roughly 8 – 9 hours.

Notes: vetiver, absinthe, floral notes, green notes (Note – the brand also lists ice cubes which I find amusingly appropriate)

Perfumer: Daphne Bugey
