Green Silk!

Hallelujah! Sometimes a woman discovers things that leave her speechless, in a positive sense. Well, as Chanelle already noted, calling Biehl perfumes works of art is a bit lofty, but they seem to understand their craft. However, naming fragrances with numbers, like lab rats, I find somewhat strange, especially since the creations are referred to as works of art. Well, never mind.
al01 opens with a pineapple-heavy, yet fresh-fruity sorbet note. It smells like a sundae with a splash of cassis. Slightly tipsy, I completely agree with Very.
Ha, no tuberoses in the heart note, yay! Wonderful floral cocktail. And (except for lily of the valley, but they only chime in the background) all my favorite flowers are in there, fresh spring blooms that weave a fine green thread.
Of course, I already knew what al01 was when I read the pyramid. So what is it? You get 3 guesses! A wonderful green chypre. BUT this really only reveals itself when the green sorbet note has crumbled away. Because then follows a grassy-woody, mossy-cool, iris-dusty base.
Great summer scent for a party on the beach or in the garden!

It’s intriguing even without tuberose in the heart; there are still lily of the valley...

I should give it a try; I have nothing against Chypre in itself, it's just that the ones I've tried so far haven't been for me.
