Angeliki by Angelos Créations Olfactives

The perfumer says:

This is the concoction I'm most proud of and it is definitely the most precious one as it is dedicated to the memory of my beloved grandmother, my Angel, Angeliki. The inspiration comes from her gracious life, always being the most kind and courteous person and always showing care and love to everyone around her.
She adored vintage and luscious Chypré perfumes so choosing to create a Chypré concoction in her memory was the only way to go.

Perfume compositions like this made me realize that chasing down vintage perfumes is futile. When I started collecting perfumes I went through a short "vintage chasing phase". Then stumbled upon Sultan Pasha and a few others from the independent realm and abandoned that ship. Angeliki is another example of such. Vintage aesthetic and glory with higher quality ingredients and on-par blending. On top of that, unique, adding new elements to replace the old and repetitive ones.

Angelos dedicated this perfume to his grandmother, and when you smell it, you can tell he put his soul into this. Coincidently, it reminds me of my grandmother. Old charm, big personality, refinement, while also tender, and delicate. The opening uses a unique pairing of aldehydes, apricots, and pomelo. I pick up the first two more vividly. The heart is where this perfume sets apart from the rest and shines. A floral bouquet made up of the most uncommon floral accords. Wisteria, Fressia, and Lilacs. Not Roses, Jasmine, or Carnation, the usual suspects. He nailed these accords, as they are not easy to pull off. The base reminds me of the structure I find in perfumes like Morah, or Diaghilev, two that are dear to me. It is rich, deep, and multifaceted. Resins, Oakmoss, Leather, and a generous amount of Civet. Huge projection and excellent longevity for those who constantly complain: "They don't make them like that anymore". I struggle with big perfumes, but this one doesn't bother me, as it contains natural ingredients for the most part.

If you love old-school perfumes, this one is a no-brainer. Those who love floral perfumes and Orientals will also find much to enjoy here. I believe it is the best from the house, as it should, given the personal significance it has for its creator.
