Burberry her élixir clone

I discovered this perfume at Printemps Boulevard Haussmann in Paris.

it was part of a reference short list of my brand that I was looking to discover, unfortunately many others are no longer available.

for this one, nothing exceptional, it's a good perfume that smells of a mixture of musk and berries. feminine ideal for mid-season, I find a lot of similarity with the burberry for her elixir released last year.

except that this one costs twice as much as burberry.

Fruit salad with an accent

Glorious was created by Christian Provenzo in 2012, right between his Accento from 2011 and Erba Pura from 2013. You can tell that the fragrance is a mixture of the two, only darker and seemingly with riper fruits like the later Erba Pura
At the beginning, all kinds of fruits appear that are difficult to identify individually. In my opinion, what could possibly be recognized as pineapple is strongly reminiscent of Accento This is immediately followed by the spicy notes, which are also perceptible as a blend rather than as individual components.

Fruit salad is the first association ... and, as already mentioned, with more mature ingredients. Lightly spiced and with a few floral nuances. However, I also notice a small portion of synthetics, as you encounter in many Provenzano and Xerjoff fragrances. And I don't want to criticize this, because I don't necessarily find this artificiality annoying or cheap, but you can't ignore it either.

Glorious is definitely not a fragrance twin of Erba Pura whose relationship only shines through in the short top note, but rather its dark cousin, who prefers to be up to mischief at night and brood deeply. Towards the end, it shows what it is made of and reveals its softer side with a quiet mix of musk, amber, a mini pinch of patchouli and half a hint of vanilla.

Overall, Glorious has an appealing approach, but despite its well-rounded presentation, it feels a little convoluted and half-baked to me. It's hard to grasp and I wonder what the fragrance is trying to tell me. Maybe it's also because my bottling is a few years old, which doesn't affect the quality, but in terms of projection it almost seems a little shy for the name. It won't be my favorite Boadicea, but it does have its bright spots.

Fruity resins

Recently I have tested a few (pure) perfumes of my new favorite brand Boadicea the Victorious. With this fragrance concentration one must often handle the atomizer quite discreetly or very self-confidently. Not always an easy task, especially when filling samples. If violets and oud were the main focus of my considerations, I now have a real contrast program on my skin with Glorious.

The fragrance starts fruity, resinous and anything but shy. Amazingly and gratefully, I am not expecting a sticky jam opening, but an almost bitter fruitiness. It is really difficult to recognize the main actors from the indicated fruit round. I was most likely to notice a half ripe peach, some green apple and pineapple. The raspberry has skillfully hidden itself or is simply responsible for tiny aspects of maturity. As is often the case with Boadicea, the fragrance pyramid is to be understood as an indication of a sequence, but not of a selective world of fragrances.

After half an hour the resinous fruit opens towards subliminal floral chords. The rose mainly supports the fruiting body, while the cardamom skillfully cares for the prolongation of the bitter-resinous mood.

After hours the amber and wood base shines through more and more and skillfully catches the harmonies.

If many Boadiceas (tested by me so far) are a bit more angular, Glorious makes up for it perfectly. Not only is it absolutely suitable for everyday use, but it is also an evergreener for fans of fruity, resinous and woody scents. Glorious is uncomplicated to dose and with a good 8 hours with me, also persevering for an office day, without you getting offended. You're more likely to get compliments.

Now that my sample is empty, a bottle may move in as soon as possible. :)
