The day by the sea
I feel a little guilty. Because I should actually go to the food department at the miller.
But there they are - all versions of the 4711 series. Actually I wanted to try the scent with lemon. But of all places there is no tester. So I test the white one from the series - without any previous knowledge, without bias and without perfect scent expectations, like with scents that you have on your watch list long before.
Jasmine. Do I smell jasmine to begin with? The answer is yes. As a long-time Jasmine fan, I can say that it is true: Jasmine has an enormously relaxing effect. I have even read that the scent of jasmine relaxes us so much that our neurotransmitters in the brain work better and so hormones like endorphins and enkephalin are released and the whole thing works a little bit like Valium by controlling our amygdala by reducing stress as well as pain.
But I also associate the sea with jasmine. Like a jasmine tree by the sea. I remember it like it was yesterday. When I was a child, I sometimes spent the summer by the sea. And there it stood. In full bloom. Facing the sun. With a scent only a child can absorb
But when I open my eyes again, I'm still standing in the miller. When I smell my sleeve and the test strip again, the whole thing has taken on a clean note.
Like fresh laundry. But no Persil or Spee or Ariel or whatever they're called. They're more like white cotton sheets that you've just hung up. Slightly powdery and as if mine was trying to bury his nose in it. It reminds me of the original version of White Linen - clean, soft and infinitely beautiful. A little bit of cotton from the Splash series by Marc Jacobs. He is so beautiful, I would almost classify him as unisex.
In the end the Sillage is only very close, but it is worth it.
Even if the scent does not last all day, but has the durability of a colognes, it is as beautiful as the scent of freshly washed laundry on a day at the sea.
