The perfume doesn’t drive me crazy, like all C. Nagel’s creations after all, but this formula is really very interesting for understanding how and in what percentages to mix certain ingredients to obtain accords such as sea salt and seaweed. At first the odor strength of the concentrate was quite low and I was a bit puzzled about the dilution percentage, then Filipe recommended me to wait at least a month of macerating the compound and he was absolutely right, the key ingredients came out and a dilution beyond 7% would be too much. Excellent work.
Edit:
I have to change what I wrote previously about this perfume. I’ve been wearing it every day for weeks and without a doubt it’s one of the fragrances I love the most. The concentrate must macerate for at least 4 weeks, preferably 6, and once diluted in ethanol it continues to mature. I find it really delicious and I never get tired of it. This is a perfect perfume in the summer or in any case with high temperatures, but I’m sure that even with the winter cold it remains a wonderful fragrance.

I have all the ingredients except for the one captive and I’ve let it maturate for six weeks and have come to a slightly different conclusion to the previous review. It’s still not quite there.
I’ll start with I have a separate GCMS of this formula which I commissioned myself and have compared it to the one on this site and to the scent of original perfume. The two are very similar and the Creative Formula’s version is clearly built from a GCMS analysis.
I think the Creative Formula’s version is better than my analysis of the GCMS, but still falls short of replicating the original.
The Good:
The dry-down is good and accurate, that sweet amber/musk/wood skin scent that is has made this perfume so popular is well replicated. (Noting the slight variation of the Grosjman Accord which is present.)
The Bad:
It’s the top note that misses the mark. The top note continues to be far more woodier than than the original, which opens a lot softer and more floral. And the culprit, I think, is the interpretation of the Linalyl Acetate amount. My GCMS lists Linalyl Acetate at over 4.2% of the formula, which one could interpret at an overdose of clary sage at around 5.5% of the formula (and they’d be wrong).
The Creative Formula’s version does a better attempt than my analysis to tame this amount of linalyl acetate splitting it between clary sage, bergamot, lavender and some lemon & mandarin, but it’s still not quite balanced. I think this formula (like my GCMS) still has too much clary sage. Even after maceration it continues to dominate the top note unlike the original perfume. It is possible that the original has less than 1% clary sage while the other naturals are at higher dosages.
The Ugly?
Both this formula and the real perfume are also very weak in both projection and longevity, but that’s just the nature of this perfume’s formulation unfortunately. Not a lot can be done to fix that.
Additionally, there are some inclusions in this Creative Formulas like the Levistamel and Fixateur 505E, which I don’t see in my GCMS and can’t quite understand why they are there.
Overall, the formula is good and wearable; but i am concluding the opening is still very different from the original.
