A Fragrance Like a Smile

This perfume truly deserves a more appealing and somewhat romantic name. Nr.39 is one of the most tender fragrances I know. Yet, it is neither playful nor kitschy. It is self-contained, and I can easily imagine it grounding me when chaos reigns around me.

Powdery, without being dry, and floral in a gentle, delicate way, this is how the perfume presents itself to me. The floral notes are bright and transparent. No fruity elements disturb the tranquility that the fragrance radiates, and despite its softness, Nr.39 surprises with excellent longevity.

However, those who wish to inform their surroundings of their perfume preferences with pronounced sillage will be disappointed by Nr.39. It remains relatively close to the skin, and thus this characteristic aligns with its gentle nature.

Since my collection is dominated by expressive, sometimes rather robust, and yet heavy fragrances, I am currently contemplating whether I should bring such a quiet and tender companion into my display.

I just tested it and find it completely matches your description. Very tender and soft. But for me, it's a bit too floral.

Thank you, Turandot! Without your wonderful comment, I wouldn't have tried the fragrance. I perceive it just the same way, and somehow it touches me deeply. A gentle toast to you!

Now I'm really hooked... I picked up a room fragrance from Bahoma called "Black Fig" at TK Maxx (of course, I didn't really pay attention and sprayed it on my skin first^^). Where can I get/test the perfumes?

I love this scent; it reminds me of a particularly lovely delicate floral soap.

I don't know the scent, but your description immediately made me think of Tarifa. 'Tender companion' fits that for me too, and I wear it very often, especially because the other scents are heavier. ;)

Just go for it. If you like it, it's not a bad purchase. You don't wear a red evening gown with heels every day either. Great comment!!!!

So far, I only know the room fragrances, and they are lovely.

From experience, I know that the gentle ones end up staying in the display case the longest (they have to). It’s not really fair, since they’re so tender, but that’s just how we are...

There are always days like that... when I let myself be looked at through olfactory rose-colored glasses.
