In the background, Rod Stewart sings in the third part of his "Great American Songbooks," and suddenly "Stardust" by Annette Neuffer is just the fragrance for this moment.
"Stardust" - how it sounds! My romantic soul is awakened, and instead of spreading its wings, it rather unfolds its apron to possibly catch some stardust in it.
I wander through fruity citrus aromas, fresh and a bit bitter from the pomelos, which I really like, right into the twilight as a prelude to this fragrant night.
It feels like walking, surrounded by the sweetness of cotton candy and a hint of bitter almond (I wonder if there鈥檚 a fair nearby that these scent notes remind me of?), a light streak, a touch of skin from the blue flowers of "Love-in-a-Mist," which is also responsible for a hint of pepper. Plants react sensitively to touch and "defend" themselves with bursts of fragrance.
In the warm dusk, surrounded by the already slumbering aroma of the rose garden, I sip a cup of osmanthus tea, savoring its rich, ripe scent, which harmoniously merges with everything present and floats like a fine scarf above it all.
And yet, in this garden, I can't shake off the connection to the pre-Christmas market hustle and bustle, as dark chocolate, thickly dusted with cocoa and faintly reminiscent of the patchouli I love, and warm vanilla cream with a hint of tonka bean, conquer my senses.
Is "Stardust" a journey from place to place, from time to time, under a fairy-tale-like starry sky?
Beeswax has been successfully arranged with benzoin resin, and both seem to skillfully close this opulent aromatic pleasure after the illumination of many different aromatic facets during a truly magnificent fragrance development.
Even on my cool skin, "Stardust" shows an extremely charming side; unfortunately, I can't imagine what magic unfolds on the "right skin" with the appropriate warmth.
Surely I would be thrilled here too!
Thus, Annette Neuffer's "Stardust" is once again one of those rich, slightly gourmand, slightly classic creations that delight all the senses.
One must be ready for it and not be put off by this familiar opulence right after reading the fragrance pyramid.
Annette Neuffer's fragrance creations are always worth "a sniff!"
Once again, a very impressive, wonderful description. For me, this scent would probably only shine in the top notes. After that, it might be too gourmand for my taste. I do wonder, though, what a "maiden in green" would smell like?
