A huge bouquet of white flowers
A strong eighties’ scent, this one. When spraying this, you feel like landing in a garden, fully in bloom. So many flower notes hit your nose at the same time. To me it is a bit overwhelming. I can not say that I do not like it - but in minor doses, perhaps. I smell Neroli, hyacinth, tuberose, gardenia - on top of each other. Like a lot of people shouting at the same time to get someone’s attention. A bit like Estée Lauder’s Beautiful edp. Really complex and loud.
I get aldehydes, black currant and neroli from the start. The aldehydes give the scent a chalky feeling, something I have noticed in other loud, complex scents, but perhaps my nose is the only one, that works this way. Then the white flower combo comes straight at me, and suddenly I find myself in a haze of jasmine, gardenia, lily-of-the-valley and tuberose. A powerful mix indeed. It lasts for a long time. At the end I get sandalwood and musk. But it takes hours to get there.
I am so lucky to have the wonderful splash bottle, that looks so great on the shelf. I know that the spray bottle is easier to handle and prevents me from using too much - but I adore the splash. Very eighties shape and colour, a bit like Magie Noire.
