Notes: yuzu, citrus, Genovese basil, clove, Haitian vetiver
Based on traditional Eaux de Cologne and the aromas of the Mediterranean, Tacit is the first fragrance release from this Australian botanical brand in almost ten years.
Composed by Céline Barel, its soft demeanour conforms to the given name. The customary use of bergamot is replaced by yuzu, yet the citrus accords aren't fresh, tart or effervescent. Instead, they are reticent and slightly sweet – complementing the basil's spicy-aromatic properties, which also yields spearmint-like facets. With just a touch of clove, salty herbaceous whispers elegantly segue into a translucent woody base of vetiver.
Providing minimal sillage, and remaining evident on the skin for less than three hours, Tacit smells very natural and is well-blended. Unfortunately, one is unable to ignore its mediocre performance, especially for an Eau de Parfum. Based on that alone, Czech & Speake's Vetiver Vert would make a more robust alternative, within the realm of citrus-aromatic vetivers.
