Uermì's new release: 70's Mood (Luca Maffei, 2023)


From a creative point of view, the 70s was an exceptional decade: music, literature, design, and perfumery... of course, it was also challenging, with the cold war, Vietnam, terrorism, and another thousand or so political and social revolutions taking place all together. 
It took an exorbitant amount of Eros to counterbalance all this Tanathos, and that generation did everything they could to give peace a chance, put flowers in their cannons, and make love as much as possible.
 The olfactory background of this vital explosion was patchouli, with its warm, enveloping, rooting, brazenly sensual woody note.

Among the reasons to love Uermì's new release named “70’s Mood”, there is the perfect consistency of the name it bears: a tribute to that concentration of bright colors, rebellious spirit, and enlivening creativity that characterized the atmosphere of that decade. 

It is definitely NOT a tribute to the perfumes of those years -otherwise, it would have never worked in today's world. 

Because patchouli, in the 70s used to smell earthy, damp, moldy, somehow "human", in a way that today would be considered too sexual and divisive to be able to wear it as it is. 

Today's patchouli must be refined, purified of all the “raunchy” facets of the whole note. For '70's Mood, Luca Maffei used a very high percentage of Indonesian patchouli, which is perceived since the firework opening, in which the patchouli enters accompanied by dry and green bergamot, cardamom (green and pungent) and pink pepper (sweet and pungent) in a very modern, dry, bright, dynamic blend endowed with an exuberant personality. From the heart onwards, patchouli is enveloped in warm notes of vanilla, benzoin, cistus labdanum, and a trail of Cashmeran, which seals its modernity. 

The radiance is perfect: half a meter of slightly eccentric elegance.

Uermì has recently reviewed the packaging of the line, and what I saw at Esxence has thrilled me: the bottles have a crazy, distinctive look, signed by the exceptional designer Arnaldo Tranti.
