Silk and a glass of vino

With some scents I usually run away without even having smelled the perfume. My personal favorite is the direction "sweet-fruity".
Best a fragrance pyramid with raspberry, vanilla and peaches in it and I click in a tenth of a second already away.
As a dessert: mais oui!
In a perfume: away with you, you sticky devil!

Now it so happened that through a very kind little manufacturer's donation from Acqua del Garda - many thanks also at this point - I came to six samples of the Italian brand, which mingle as a traveling letter among the noses of the forum.
N.3 Accordo Soave and categorized here as "sweet-fruity", was the last of the samples, I had already chosen it as my final opponent, and then also raspberry, vanilla and peach in the fragrance pyramid! I was ready for anything, within reach of the sink with soap, brushes, alcohol and whatever it would take to scrub the syrup off my wrist, because as we all know, the perfumes you can least stand stick like tar.

So there I was, dressed in a lavender silk dressing gown, sitting on my terrace by Lake Garda. Relaxed, I had just taken a fragrant oil bath that Cleopatra would not have spurned, and cared for my skin with a fine cream. It is early evening, the air is pleasantly mild, the stone terracotta tiles under my bare feet warmed by the Italian sun. I sip my glass of chilled wine, loll in my wicker chair, and just revel in the beautiful colors of the evening sunshine sky for a bit before my beloved comes home.
Oh wait, it's still this rainy May 2021, I'm sitting on my sofa in a gray big city of Germany, have a bit cold feet, my hair hangs on half eight because I had to go to Edeka earlier with headwind and heavy rain, because the butter for the risotto I wanted to cook was not enough. The spin cycle of the washing machine has probably just pulled me out of my daydream!

Instead of the feared worst scents, I smell from the first second milky, balsamic, caressing musk. The association with body care comes up very quickly, but in a thoroughly very positive, well-groomed sense. What vanilla, tonka and almond do together in this fragrance should underline the creamy-sweet silkiness, but I can't smell any of these notes as individuals. Raspberry, peach or licorice I can not detect with all my efforts.
Everything I smell and perceive seems to have nothing at all to do with the fragrance pyramid and fragrance category, and I'm just wondering a bit if
a) my nose is not working properly? Yes it does, I can assure you,
b) I just feel the need for a trip to Lake Garda? YES, who doesn't?,
or
c) you always have to get involved with new things in order to be positively surprised!
