Perfume Review: Untitled #2 by Tristan Brando
June 21st, 2006
Untitled #2 is a creation of Tristan Brando, the nose behind Monyette Paris. It was created specifically for Luckyscent as part of their exclusive Untitled series - a collaborative effort with well-known perfumers to create unique scents that are limited in number. It’s said to have the notes of black coconut milk, green coconut, Tahitian vanilla, Madagascar vanilla, heliotrope, light driftwood musk, and Sicilian tangelo zest. In spite of such a mouthwatering combination of notes, I must say I’m slightly disappointed. It has such a promising beginning of creamy, milky coconut mixed with vanilla, and I wait in anticipation for heliotrope, driftwood musk, and Sicilian tangelo zest to enter in and sweep me off my feet but all I get is a rather bland, characterless vanilla with a much dreaded doughy drydown. It seems underdeveloped and short-sighted. For a scent that’s described as “vacation in a bottle”, it certainly doesn’t seem to transport me anywhere, and I’m left wondering what the intended destination is.

I think the intended destination may be some of the overcrowded, over commercialized poor excuses for beaches I got talked into going to on several college spring breaks. My cc is absolutely delighted w/ your description.

Elle, I’m glad to oblige your CC!
Since I’m often labeled as enabler, this is good for balance.

I love the last sentence of your review: ” For a scent that’s described as “vacation in a bottle”, it certainly doesn’t seem to transport me anywhere, and I’m left wondering what the intended destination is.” He he he
