1968

Rosendo Mateu's 1968 opens on a bright green accord, and that green note dominates the composition at full strength in the main accords. It reads as cut stems and shaded foliage rather than anything sweet, giving the fragrance an immediate, almost cool lift before the heart arrives. There, tuberose and rose sit alongside aromatic notes and spices, so the florals feel textured and slightly peppered rather than conventionally pretty. The green accord persists through the development, keeping the bouquet from turning heavy.

The base settles into musk, woody notes and vanilla, with musky and aquatic facets running underneath the floral heart. The result is a floral woody musk that stays legible and wearable across genders, closer to a green-floral study than a dense oriental. Collectors who enjoy tuberose handled with restraint, or who want a rose that never becomes syrupy, will find it suits daytime wear and transitional seasons. Those seeking a big, narcotic white floral should sample first, since the green and aquatic accords keep the composition deliberately airy.

Rosendo Mateu 1968 以強勢嘅綠色香調開場，主導整體氣質，帶來近乎清涼嘅枝葉感，唔甜膩。中調由晚香玉與玫瑰擔綱，配合芳香元素與香料，令花香帶點辛香同質感，唔係傳統嗰種濃艷白花。基調落喺麝香、木質同雲呢拿之上，麝香與水生調一直墊底，令花香保持輕盈透氣。整體係一支綠意主導嘅花香木質麝香，男女皆宜，適合日間同換季時節使用；鍾意晚香玉但怕太濃、或者想要玫瑰唔甜膩嘅藏家可以考慮，追求濃烈白花嘅人建議先試香。
