Close Up

by Annick Menardo

Olfactive Studio Close Up is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Annick Menardo. Close Up opens with Coffee, Cherry, and Spicy, settles into a heart of Rose, Patchouli, White Tobacco, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Olfactive Studio's Close Up carries an Acquired verdict, a cherry-led wear.

This one's a proper challenge. You'll either love its unique, complex cherry and tobacco heart or recoil from its animalic, off-kilter opening. Definitely not for a blind buy.

Its intensity and the often-mentioned animalic opening make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines on dates and in formal settings, especially in cooler weather, where its unique depth can be appreciated.

About

A boozy, tart cherry liqueur kicks things off, quickly joined by rich, dark coffee and an intriguing blend of warm spices. The heart unfolds into a comforting, pipe-like white tobacco, deepened by earthy patchouli and subtle rose hints. It all settles into a warm, sensual base of amber, tonka bean, and a lingering musk that contributes to its polarising character.
