Patchouli, sandalwood, and sage—the first batch release, made for elegant folks. Don’t wear it with casual clothes; you’ll look out of place; it’s for shirts and ties. It smells like old cork from expensive 50s wine, rugged, woody, and damp, then settles into vetiver and cypress.
When I smell vintage proposals, I get lost in the aromatic richness and travel with my mind. Some perfumes bring distant memories to life. I like modern scents, but I have a weakness for these classic aromas. Sometimes I think of the pre-internet era. I lived my youth without the web and know firsthand the difference from today. It’s beautiful, no doubt, but sometimes I think of my adolescence and I’m glad I didn’t have it. Back then, slow communication meant my friends and I wrote letters above all. In summer, sending postcards was mandatory; going on vacation without them was an offense. Then came letters from afar, from relatives or lovers miles away, and you counted the days for them to arrive. Teck by Molinard was love at first sniff and reminds me of those times. Thanks, Josesan. Aesthetically, those rounded bottles seem from another century. Molinard doesn’t win design awards, but inner values count if they’re real. It’s very masculine, with intensity and medium-high longevity, satisfying and well-made. How to describe Teck? It’s pure archaic and fantastic. It leaves a pleasant breeze on the skin thanks to sandalwood and vetiver, with hints of asphalt and cypress. I don’t perceive much patchouli. Is it contemporary or outdated? Maybe, but I like it because it’s well-made and moves me. It’s a perfume with many stories to tell.
TECK, another Molinard masterpiece, a brand I’m liking more and more. I think it’s a dry, intense, very personal unisex chypre. The opening is bitter citrus with drops of sun-kissed resins; not juicy, but rough orange peel and dark green lemon zest. Then the wild shrubs take over: heather, sage, cypress, and juniper turn the scent into a resinous juice that intoxicates the senses. It’s the terpenes and miricetin of juniper when the summer sun parches the hills and the sirocco wind cleanses the earth. It’s walking through a Mediterranean mountain with legs exposed to the juniper, which scratches and smears you with its thick kisses. It’s not wanting to wash off the skin that keeps the field’s heat and that sticky love that preserves its aroma beyond human contact. TEck (from teak) lingers with a sweetened drying down featuring amber sandalwood and a honeyed tone of bees feeding on the juniper. I tried the old EAU DE TOILETTE version, with moderate sillage and acceptable longevity, though the current EAU DE PARFUM might have a more pronounced performance.
