Claudiae by Sigilli

*****
Year: unknown

Notes: galbanum, tomato leaf, fennel, poppy, rose, patchouli, musk
Dedicated to free-spirited women, Claudiae doesn't illustrate any olfactory associations as such. Instead, it's a soft and gentle aromatic-floral.

The tomato leaf accord isn't as strident as Sisley's Eau de Campagne, with the sweetness from both the poppy and rose defusing any potential astringency. However, as soon as the florals endeavour to exert their influence further, the fennel emerges and steers things down a more herbaceous path. With a woody-musk drydown, the composition soon enters woody-herbaceous territory, showcasing a mentholated and creamy finale.

With average longevity and moderate sillage, it's not immediately compelling but slowly becomes an interesting curio after further wearings.
