Pentimento is a cornucopia of moreish delights, an extravagant still-life that rewards both wearer and audience. Decadent ormolu-gilded flower details are backlit by the velveteen drapery shimmer of hazelnut and broom. Sumptuously smudged tonka and carob bean provide a soft, halo-glow against the cool, polished stone façade of rum absolute and the austere, crystalline refraction of tobacco flower. Pentimento is a bouquet that is baroque in its grandeur and is unapologetically rich and indulgent; it is big and encompassing, whilst being exceptionally faceted and endlessly complex.
Pentimento celebrates a desire for change, a change of mind brought on by reflection rather than necessity. Pentimento is not the story of repentance but of our desire to approach an idea from a different perspective where change itself is the catalyst, influence and inspiration.
NOTES: tiaré, orchid, hazelnut, broom absolute, carob absolute, tobacco flower, vanilla, rum absolute, tonka bean absolute

Powdery opening on my skin, otherwise a unisex fragrance. Then a nutty cocoa. Makes me think of how Tahiti or Fiji might smell, while having a rum, cocoa drink. Feels like a tropical vacation.

Jorum's take on a gourmand scent and they have definitely delivered. Pentimento is a powdery, floral gourmand done so beautifully that I cannot stop sniffing my wrist! It opens with soft tropical floral notes, and a cacao powder element that might be coming from hazelnut and vanilla combined. It does have a bit of booziness from the rum and thankfully for me, it stays soft and subtle throughout the wear. What a successful buy and Jorum Studio definitely deserves more attention for their quality creations (at least the ones I've tried so far) and reasonable pricing. I'm also a fan of their minimalistic packaging and even their logo!
Also extremely happy with my first purchase from Indiescents. Everything was packaged very nicely, including the samples, and it even included a discount for next purchase.
