Ondine Artemisia Natural Perfume 2010

At least for my olfactory cells. Whatever has been processed in this natural scent, it does not present itself to me as a pleasant fragrance.

For a very brief moment, right after application, Ondine smells nicely floral, but then it undergoes a dreadful development.

Before I know it, I find myself olfactorily in a petting zoo, among the goats! The smell of goats, to me, is a mix of manure and burnt plastic, and exactly such a note, paired with a strange floral note, is what Ondine emits until it almost completely fades away after about 3 hours. So far, I have only smelled goat in one perfume, in Vierges et Toreros by ELdO, which I found even more unbearable.

However, I did not imagine the little goat by myself. My partner promptly asked me, when I had applied the scent, if I could also smell that strange animal odor.

Although I can usually handle a strong scent and am not averse to a certain animalistic direction in fragrances, I do reach my limits with the olfactory representation of a petting zoo.

I am curious to see how the brand will develop olfactorily!
