L’Heure Mystérieuse, A.K.A. the XIIth hour, is Mathilde Laurent’s tenebrous take on
the patchamber theme.
With
perceptible relish, the challenging aspects of patchouli’s character are
enunciated in clarion tones: from its strikingly camphorous top, whose cool
vapours here curl with resinous incense, through its dark earthiness that’s
augmented by impressions of dry woods, oakmoss, clove, and a dusting of cocoa
powder. The whole is rounded out with plump musks and benzylic blenders that have a soft balsamic/floral/oily
quality.
