Once in Hong Kong
One of seven fragrances from the Lovers series by Carine Roitfeld. In addition, this is a picture of one of the seven cities - Hong Kong.
In this fragrance, there are long flights from one time zone to another, with transfers in busy hubs.
You fly to another world, to a culture that is completely new to you.
There is also the noise of the subways and the smell of heating oil.
It conveys the idea of being crowded, walking through the crowds of Hong Kong, amidst many different smells in the heat.

At first, the perfume welcomes you with a leather scent that is quite animalic. Then the radiance of such a round, soft rose blossom and probably the same osmanthus appears through it.
And my God, what a wonderful tea at the end! Strong, with rising steam, at this ideal temperature!
It's interesting, complex and fun to watch.
Long lasting, sillage - one spray lasts me 8 hours.
Well, the bottle is good, made of dark green glass, with a magnetic cap, pleasantly heavy, sits well in the hand.

Yes, this is one of those perfumes that tell a whole story!
