The Yoga Scent
I suppose I have always been a searching soul… being curious about life, death and everything in between. I have read up on quite a few religions and beliefs, tried to keep an open mind. Where I am right now in my life, meditation and yoga as an everyday practice is what makes most sense to me. But what perfume is appropriate for yoga classes? People stand so close to each other and become sweaty - what scent has the right sillage and notes to cheer you up and calm you at the same time? What scent will prevent you from smelling your neighbor yogi if the smell makes you feel uncomfortable? What scent will guide you through the three aspects of a successful yoga class: body, mind and breath?
Reading quite a few reviews on Bill Blass Amazing I was surprised that a fragrance can be perceived and experienced in so many ways and with so many outcomes. In one ring corner some state that it makes them want to throw up, due to some of the notes. In the other, some say it is one of the best scents ever made. And more or less everything in between. So everyone agrees not to agree, I suppose. I shall share my experience here.
I bought the fragrance because of the intriguing bottle design. My first impression was that it looked like a Chinese paper lamp. Delicate and fragile. It could also look like a modern skyscraper in a city like Tokyo or Singapore. An interesting mix between the past and the future. This is something I rarely see in a bottle. And it fits the scent so well.
At first spray I sense a calm, citric note and a really well behaved Lily of the Valley. I admit that usually Lily of the Valley can be dominant to my nose but the blend here is delicate. I sense the musk after 5 minutes and it adds a depth and warmth to the flowery-fresh experience, which is so well balanced. The good thing, if you like the scent, is that it is there when you wake up.
Back to yoga classes: to me, this scent is perfect.
