Clarifying
Initially only bitter-citrusy suede. Delicate and sensitive. Elegance through reduction. Like a Bauhaus design piece.
What can trigger a feeling of monotony for some, perhaps even of loneliness, of turning away from the world, allows others to breathe a sigh of relief. Makes them feel space for imagination. Gives them peace and the opportunity to find themselves in it. The latter applies to me. I enjoy that. I like to pause and reflect. This wonderfully clear and clarifying fragrance. Tart and slightly distant. Impressions of chalk dust arise, of soft waxy plasticine, mixed with suede and the bitter tone of gin. A dull, grass-like note subtly tinges green. In the background, a restrained, hint of creamy sweetness makes the whole thing more wearable. This is important, as the fragrance increasingly develops a slightly medicinal mustiness, which, however, has the airy effect of loosened juniper. An unusual, distinctive, slightly bulky profile. Slender and multi-faceted at the same time. Extremely delicate and subtle. Like an Ellena-Hermès.
When I then take a look at the ingredients, I realize that the majority of the impressions are caused by the clove. In essence, it is a clove fragrance. Since Cartier notes tend to be abbreviated, I add the iris component. The rose makes sense, especially in relation to the implied waxiness of the fragrance. If you know about it, you recognize it well. A sign of a very clever construction. And that is the great thing about this fragrance: it is more than the sum of its parts. The individual ingredients change, have no boundaries and together create new impressions. As always with this series, I am incredibly impressed by the constructive idea behind the fragrance and its delicate and consistent implementation. It is not a fragrance that I wear regularly, but put on when I feel like perfume art. It has a wonderfully serene yet sensual elegance. When it is hit by a gust of wind outside, it is lost, but when it settles, the world smells better than before.
