Christopher Street and Douglas Bender have been featured on Now Smell This, one of the largest and most trusted online fragrance communities on the web. From its “boozy” top to its “earthy” base, here’s a little snippet of what Now Smell This Contributor, Jessica Murphy, had to say about Charenton Macerations‘ Christopher Street.
“Christopher Street opens with sharp, bitter notes of lime and bergamot that are quickly submerged in a haze of booze and tobacco. The tobacco is present both as cured leaves and as cigar smoke, and the smoke seems to have already seeped into the old wood and broken-in leather that are also present in the heart of the fragrance. The base exudes handfuls of earthy, crumbled patchouli and dried moss, as well as as subtle sweaty note. I end up not knowing whether I’m in a bar or a barn, but either one would be fine with me, if it smelled like this.”
What a great way to describe the overlapping merchants-to-misfits scented time periods at play in the fragrance. Noted for its excellent staying power on skin, Murphy goes on to recommend Christopher Street to any lovers of dry, woody, leather fragrances. Big thanks to Jessica and the entire Now Smell This team for such a terrific review.
