Flower Almond Dream Floats on Musk Cloud or Polly in Love
I am soo in love. Sigh! Now I just have to see how I can somehow get it to me in Germany, since standard postage from the UK to the EU is unfortunately not possible at the moment. Who the heck is Ahood Alenezi? Never heard of it. But the scent descriptions of this Selfridges- and Harrods-exclusive perfume by Boadicea the Victorious (addendum: meanwhile also available at Boadicea directly. Let's see if I can get it there) made me sit up and take notice. And so did the notes.
There came comparisons with Hypnotic Poison by Dior. And since this is supposed to be very similar in the vintage version of my beloved Confetto by Profumum Roma, the should at least times in principle go in my direction.
After the wear test, I very quickly realize that resistance is futile and I have to have it. No matter how complicated the procurement should turn out. Urgent even. Yes, it bears a resemblance to Confetto, but there are also very subtle differences. Whereas Confetto is a whammy par excellence, this Bravery is more of a skin-toned scent. Fellow perfumer Cravache always likes to compare Confetto to the odeur of a child's birthday party. And that's exactly what Bravery is not. Bravery surrounds you with its delicate floral notes, characterized by orange blossom and jasmine with a touch of the finest luxury. One would like to lie down in this blossom-almond dream.
In the prelude, the fragrance is a teensy bit harsh. I thought at first "oh no, not Cypriol again." The for me often aasige, reminiscent of oud Cypriolnote, which has unfortunately already made me the one or other vanillig-geprägten fragrance in the past madig, holds back here very much. After 1-2 hours it is no longer noticeable. By the way, I can't detect any aquatic notes in Bravery at all. This slightly watery impression, which fragrances like Vanille Noir by YR, which also go in this direction, sometimes have, is completely absent here for me. The lily of the valley I can still guess, with a little imagination maybe a little rose, but in the first place, this is for me a very sensual almond vanilla fragrance, enriched with floral components.
And the finale is a Polly dream: the delicate floral, vanilla tones snuggle on a finest musk cloud with background sandalwood. At no time intrusive, at no time too loud. No, here everything remains delicate and close to the body. A fragrance that takes the wearer in its arms. I can't smell the mossy notes and the vetiver. This is all in all such a fine overall composition for me, since details are also not so important.
I hope so much that he will enrich my collection soon. Cross your fingers for me.
Many thanks to the dear Gandix for the test opportunity.
