The latest fragrance is Ineke’s line of unisex alphabetical fragrances is Field Notes From Paris. The fragrance was inspired by Ineke’s days in Paris and Versailles where she studied perfumery. “It captures the romantic, nostalgic feelings of sitting in a cafe and writing in a journal while lingering for hours over a cafe creme.”
The fragrance is a Woody Oriental and I recently had the opportunity to try a sample of it. It has the following notes:
Field Notes From Parish
$88 – 2.5 oz/75 ml
Top notes: Coriander Seed, Orange Flower, Bergamot
Middle notes: Tobacco Flower, Tobacco Leaf (Nicotiana), Cedar, Patchouli
Bottom notes: Amber, Tonka Bean, Beeswax, Vanilla
My favorite type of fragrance is a Woody Oriental. I was not disappointed by the Field Notes From Paris. The opening reminds me of something my dad used to wear (that’s a good thing – my dad smells great), but as it lifts, there’s a sort of cinnamon-y note.
The base is sweet, but a warm sort of sweet, not a sugary-sweet. It’s really one of the more beautiful fragrances that I’ve had the opportunity to smell.
You can find Field Notes From Paris Eau de Parfum at Ineke’s website, along with the rest of her alphabet line; After My Own Heart, Balmy Days & Sundays, Chemical Bonding, Derring-Do, and Evening Edged in Gold.
