The Cool Breeze Over the Aare
As can be inferred from the statements, this is an unconventional scent. I wanted to know more and ordered a fresh sample directly from the manufacturer.
According to the perfumer, the perfume contains "a drop" of distilled Aare water. A nice gimmick. Additionally, it is said to contain an "overdose" of Hedione.
Let's see what has come of it:
Two sprays on the arm, two on the front of the T-shirt.
Right after spraying, a light, green-fresh scent wafts into my nose, corresponding to the described fragrance notes. When I smell the T-shirt, the scent is already gone. Huh? On the arm, it disappears just as quickly. Can that be?
I ponder a bit more and smell my arm again: Yes, something is still happening. The longer it sits, the stronger the scent becomes: bright, green, enchanting, and light. More of an aura than a distinctly noticeable scent cloud. But anyone who claims there is "nothing" is also mistaken.
However, there is definitely nothing left to smell on the clothes. The scent seems to require body heat or skin contact to remain perceptible.
Does the Aare smell like this? Partially, yes, at least regarding the ozonic-green notes. It is less floral, though. Perhaps in spring, when the bushes along the Aare bloom.
I like the scent, but it behaves very oddly and is extremely close to the skin. As a scent study of the Aare River, it is certainly well executed, but as a perfume, it is too subtle. I say this as someone who usually appreciates close-to-skin fragrances very much.
