Comment: Pohadka is part of the Prêt-à-Porter Collection
With the name taken from a cello sonata by Leoš Janáček, Pohadka is the best release from Ys Uzac so far, being a leathery-green with lashings of immortelle.
The green aspects come together with the light florals, to convey a sun-baked hay aroma, while the immortelle and tobacco impart an aromatic warmth. With regards to the immortelle, there's no indication of any cumin-like facets – just a smooth intertwining caramel aura. In addition, the leather isn't as prominent as the davana, but its suede-like nuances aren't overlooked. A moderate serving of vanilla rounds off what, overall, is a rustic yet tranquil blend.
It's truly a compelling composition but, yet again, its general performance is too soft on the skin to fully satisfy. However, its longevity of at least eight hours is rather good. After exploring this Swiss-based niche house, one does wonder why all their scents are awfully discreet. Of course, not everyone wants to wear a loud fragrance but, at the same time, others would reconsider investing in something that's too sheer.
So, while the sample vial is worth retaining, any further personal (or financial) commitment is completely out of the question.
