Spice Garden with Central Rose
The opening is fresh and slightly soapy, but in a way that I still enjoy; it feels like having just showered. I suspect lily of the valley, bright rose, and possibly sage among the herbs. For a fragrance opening, it lingers on me quite a long time. Slowly, after about two hours, I can distinctly recognize rose (now rather a darker one) with a powdery overlay (iris).
The opening spontaneously reminds me of another fragrance. Initially, I thought of the opening of Chanel's "Coco." But with the sample I have here, it doesn't match. "Sinan," as mentioned by Florblanca, I do not know. So, I continue to ponder…
Two hours later, I perceive something herbal behind the rose and iris. That could be the vetiver or something from the herbs in the top note is showing itself…
Throughout the development, I occasionally have the impression that the fragrance is no longer there. But then suddenly I perceive it again, and a slight change has occurred: jasmine and musk appear subtly, the rose remains, and iris flashes through now and then.
In my perception, rose is also the dominant nuance in the spice garden, with its companions flashing around it.
At some point, patchouli joins in and gives the fragrance spice and depth without overshadowing the other nuances. Ylang-ylang and thus sweetness or something lovely I still cannot discern even after almost 8 hours, but that is probably due to me.
The sillage is initially expansive and retracts to a personal bubble within half an hour, which I find very acceptable. 6 ½ hours after spraying, and for some time afterward, I experience the phenomenon of still being able to perceive the spice garden well and then not.
If I didn’t already have two beautiful rose fragrances in my collection, "Ville de Francfort - House of the Spice Garden 1732" would immediately move to my wish list. For now, it goes on the "sample wish list" so I can keep it in mind. It can always "rise" later.
