Oliver Peoples by Byredo

*****
Year: 2015

Notes: Californian lemon, juniper berry, orris, patchouli, immortelle, warm sand accord, musk

Comment: Oliver Peoples is a limited edition release
As a collaborative effort with the American luxury eyewear brand of the same name, Oliver Peoples is merely a mishmash of olfactory ideas from previous offerings (with Baudelaire and Bullion quickly coming to mind).

It also possesses a noticeable patchouli and musk base, somewhat reminiscent of the late-drydown of Thierry Mugler's Angel (but not as synthetic). All in all, it's a pleasant yet inoffensive fragrance, which fails to make an authentic statement on this 'artistic' collaboration (apart from acting as a shameless publicity exercise).

Sillage is moderate but its longevity is reasonably good.
