Latest Reviews of Limestone
Attractive perfume which does somehow manage to evoke the scent of damp limestone in an original way, especially in the topnotes. Normally you might need a touch of geosmin or a specialised type of ambergris to achieve that effect, but I can't smell those materials here. Very good.
Limestone is a beautiful, well-integrated, extremely fresh and dry composition. Its overall characteristic is quite slatey: there is a general cool, modern stonelike quality that the vivid notes of lime and peppercorn effortlessly connect with the costus root – really a beautiful bridge here. Though the notes suggest its heart contains "jasmine, champaca, cilantro," they hardly stand out, rather unite an form a sum greater than these parts that leans as a light(ly) floral bouquet against bright grey flint.
This is really lovely, and was a unique, understated standout amongst the nominees at the 2016 Institute for Art & Olfaction Awards.
