Not a grand scent in terms of being innovative and striking. But so beautifully delicate.

I think I belong to a minority that associates this scent with winter. But it’s definitely wonderful in spring/summer too...

You're making me incredibly curious again! He's been missing for ages, and then you come back from vacation with such temptations out of nowhere. Sigh...

I'm currently trying out high-quality incense sticks from Japan, but unfortunately, the smoke smell is too strong... I'm definitely doing something wrong 😅

I got some from the most renowned houses in Japan, including the premium lines, so it's not a quality issue. I suspect it's the combination of dry winter cold and a small space. Let's see what spring brings. :) @Midnights

I highly recommend the incense sticks from Aster de Villatte. They are also from Japan, very high quality, and have a wide range of nuanced scents.

Maybe there will be three after all! The brand seems to be consistently good for vintage like French Lover.

It might just win me over because it smells exactly like the incense sticks I love. The house is definitely great!

* Since I like to light the matching incense sticks during the Christmas season, "Grand Chalet" feels quite wintry to me. However, it will also work wonderfully on warm summer skin. The nostalgic, feminine connotation of linden blossoms is gently softened here by a bitter-fresh green. It works magically on my skin, vintage yet timeless, with a twist. Mimosa adds a touch of light sweetness, neither overwhelming nor sticky. "Grand Chalet" has a certain density, but the Cologne concentration still leaves enough space between the lines. I'm intrigued by the sandalwood, which both adds a spicy creaminess to the scent and gives it an incense-like crunch. If I had to place the fragrance in time, I would associate it with February. Winter is biting cold, and the promise of spring feels just within reach. I let myself fall (and wonder if I can order two fragrances from the same brand at once).
