Central to Brin de Réglisse is a deliciously stylised
lavender chord that incorporates both the oil from the lavandula genus itself,
as well another member of the lamiaceae family: clary sage.
The sweeter aspects of this herbal complex are picked up by the
titular licorice note that includes some immortelle-like, burnt caramel
nuances. The effect is dark, yet characteristic of Ellena’s style, sheer.
Longevity is however, fairly poor so all too soon the
perfume reaches its vanilla- coumarin-pale wood-clean musk dominated end.
