Rue Broca Theoreme review
I've been experimenting a bit with finding a few good summer perfumes and accidentally stumbled upon this.
Key notes: Citrusy and Musky with notes of patchouli. I recently made a post mentioning that I don't like cheap synthetic patchouli notes used in budget perfumes (Menworks Bleu, Wild Stone code, etc) but the patchouli notes here are very well balanced.
Appropriate for: Perfect for daytime, works well for night. They also have a Theoreme Matrix version which reviewers say is very appropriate for evenings but I haven't tried that.
I personally think it's a perfect office fragrance during summers.
The projection and sillage are decent and I keep getting whiffs of it when I spray it on my wrists. I would say it's just the right amount and doesn't scream in the room while being softly noticeable.
Longevity wise, I'm able to get around 2-3 hours of performance after 4-6 sprays. Post that the notes are very subtle but evidently there. It doesn't completely disappear into nothingness.
Personal take: I think this is a very mature fragrance with well rounded soft notes. The scent profile is not very complex but the few notes that are evidently there are very well balanced. I think it's something that can be worn throughout the year although Fragrantica says it's not winter appropriate.
I think I'll give this one to my dad after enjoying it for a few more days.
Price: 1.6-1.7k (don't remember exactly) - the theoreme matrix costs a few 100 more and if you're getting one for yourself I'd recommend you get that one over this if you're young.
