Falling in love and out again...

Yuzu always makes me fall in love at first sniff with a perfume. Osmanthus, on the other hand, as much as I appreciate the natural smell, is a tricky note in perfumes for me, like freesia. So, it wasn't perhaps really surprising that my affair with Boucheron Place Vendome EDT remained a short one: Fell in love with the slightly sugar-coated yuzu opening, the floral bouquet très chic and very French, so dreamily romantic and delicate--not only peony and rose, but jasmine and osmanthus altogether seem to have been gently dusted with a rose-coloured powder. A more eloquent person would paint the imagery this perfume evokes in richer words than myself, so I will not attempt further.
For a while, I was floating on the luminous, rosy cloud of sweet powder--and fell down when the musk began to grow larger and larger, covering the light and taking out the air, heavily laden with the powdery sweetness now threatening to cause headaches. And of course, osmanthus had emerged, adding a high-pitched tone to the overall fizziness in the base which I suspect to be Iso E Super, judging from its nose-tickling quality. It is categorised as "a woody citrus floral" on the Boucheron website, and I seem not to be the only one being reminded of Light Blue, also because of the basenote.

It remains a very chic and feminine fragrance, like a pair of intricate silver studs with rose quartz, requiring a certain fashion and occasion to be worn with; whatever the base components are, they lend this perfume a very bright 'fizz' and effervescence despite its warm and earthy powderiness, making this an adequate choice for young ladies who wish to smell mature and elegant and yet, retain a certain youthfulness*.

If the day were a fish, I would throw it back into the water...

Attention, this is a "this doesn't belong here" comment, thanks DaveGahan101, for these humorous comment categories… :o)

Yesterday was one of those gray days. A visit to my father in the nursing home, he desperately wants to go home, what is he doing here, they constantly tell him what to do, you can't do that to him. On days like this, it's difficult to have a calming influence, thank God he isn't always like this. The wrinkled, toothless Mrs. U. curses everyone in foul language in the common room, in the end, she also curses me and the social worker. Otherwise, she is sweet and calm and often wants me to stroke her hands, "they are so cold." "Don't insult my daughter, that's not how it works, you can't just say whatever you want." When insults are thrown, my father gets agitated. Mrs. U. rolls closer and continues to curse, wanting to push him, my father clenches his fist in the wheelchair… I step in and mediate, trying to calm things down. Mr. B., who can only babble now, stands right next to me and follows everything with interest, his pants are full, that's no secret. Mrs. T. now finally wants attention and barks at the nurse in a commanding tone, "Have you forgotten me, I want my coffee, but a little suddenly..." What a harmonious afternoon, I am glad when I am out, I am a bit thin-skinned at the moment. The calendar saying came to mind, "if the day were a fish, I would throw it back into the water..." Outside, rain and stormy gusts…, hood up and off to the train. Maybe a quick stop at the department store, I want to treat myself now.

Nothing tempted me, not my size, wrong color, well, then into the small perfumery, there was nothing for me there either, and now I just wanted to go home to the couch. The saleswoman asked as I was leaving, "May I spray something from Boucheron, more for spring, but a really pretty scent." She could, of course, who would be surprised, it was Place Vendome, which I already have…

I took Place Vendome out of the cabinet at home, sprayed another spritz, warm and fresh at the same time, the opening is delicately fruity, then a powdery rose takes center stage with a hint of jasmine. The scent is lovely, has a certain neatness, slightly sweet but not sticky, rather piquant. A lightly peppery note gives a freshness kick, towards the end, a clean musk base dominates. Now I remember again why I bought it. A lively floral with good everyday suitability. More for the warm months and for guys only conditionally, they should like powder. Sillage and longevity are medium, the ribbed glass bottle is handy and simple, I like it. Fragrances can't turn gray days into sunny ones, but they can certainly make them a bit more bearable.

Placea Vendomica D12

Summary

For whom?:
This remedy is used for acute gloom, spring fatigue, aversion to strongly scented addictive substances, early stages of depression, unfulfilled romance, midlife crisis, negative attitudes towards one's own sexuality or that of a partner, and for a pressing need for olfactory invisibility.

Where it works:
The main target of Placea Vendomica is generally the olfactory center, i.e., the areas in the brain associated with the sense of smell. The primary olfactory center consists of the endpoints of the first neuron of the olfactory pathway, the secondary olfactory center includes the substantia perforata, the mammillary bodies, as well as the olfactory trigone and the subcallosal gyrus. The tertiary olfactory center (and olfactory center in the strict sense) consists of the centers of the secondary olfactory cortex at the end of the olfactory pathway in the area of the hippocampus.

At what age?:
The perfume can be used for relevant complaints and is not bound to a specific age group. However, the applicable conditions tend to occur more from middle age onwards.

Characteristics:

Placea Vendomica is for delicately strung women or strong ones who need a break from the hustle and bustle. There is a pressing desire for olfactory innocence up to abstinence. Placea Vendomica struggles with strong and expressive scents and longs for scent neutrality. Placea Vendomica is defined by soft pastel and rose tones, floral patterns, polka dots, and in rare cases, by Bohemian style. The appearance of Placea Vendomica is neat to playful, never provocative or aggressive. In old age, Placea Vendomica remains girlishly playful and romantic, sometimes just shy of absurdity.

Effect:

For Placea Vendomica to be perceived in the olfactory center, a strong imagination is necessary. And this is exactly where this remedy comes into play - before it can be recognized as a scent and unleash its effect, it promotes the flexibility of arms and neck, deep, slow breathing, and the entire imaginative capacity. In this way, it achieves a lasting saturation of the brain with oxygen and fosters imaginative, creative thinking in all its phases - incubation, illumination, and verification.

+ Improvement: Approval, soft eroticism, natural yogurt, warmth, bun, wildflower bouquet, rosé wine, light fare, purring cat, Debussy, fruitcake, hay baths, salad, ASMR, ballet

- Deterioration: Cold, heat, garlic, coitus, meat, Metallica, chocolate, lacquer and leather, plain speaking, fire, thunderstorms, adrenaline, street dance

Dosage: In acute cases, 3 sprays every hour. In the further course, 6 sprays in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.

The Summery Love of Delicate Contrasts

I was in the perfume shop today and stocked up on a super-citrusy summer scent from Dior. I came with a long list to sniff the fragrances on my wish list, and right away I got so caught up with Place Vendôme EdT that my determined intention to buy wavered. The original idea was to acquire a cheerful summer fragrance, modern, a bit refined, but above all really citrusy, for very hot days. So I sprayed - with my Dior scent in the shopping basket, and although it wasn't as citrusy as I actually intended - Place Vendôme EdT on my skin. At first, there's a light fruity note, that must be the Yuzu, but it's packaged so beautifully bright and fresh that even I, a fruit scent hater, stick with it. Then a lovely fresh yet warm, beautifully powdery, understated floral scent develops; the rose with the iris and jasmine is simply perfect. The whole time, a hint of it envelops me, and since I don't know the scent yet, I start to pick up the trail like a bloodhound, searching for what smells so enchantingly beautiful, pleasing, feminine, and refined here. And I enthusiastically arrive at my forearm, where I then have to pause and enjoy. Slowly, after about 3 hours, the base comes through, and now it really blows me away. What is this? Mind-bending, very sexy, seductive, warm, cozy, smoky. I can't help it; I'm glued to my forearm. In a way, it reminds me of what remains on my skin from XerJoff's Blue Hope. Mysteriously warm, cozy, and challenging, simply fabulous. Wonderful! The best summer scent I have ever smelled. Perfectly unobtrusive, yet very refined, delicate and spirited at the same time, present and understated. Simply wonderful. I want it...
The bottle is very pretty and stylish, authentically matching the scent, sillage is average, longevity is medium to good. It has now been over seven hours since I sprayed it, and it is still enchantingly close to the skin.

A Beautiful Wallflower

I just have to tell you about my latest addition, as I find it very unfortunate that nothing has been said about it here.
I immediately fell in love with this scent, even though it is rather subtle and might seem boring to some of you. Especially when you pick out the notes, you might think, oh, another fruity-floral, like so many others.
Well, when you wear Place Vendome (EdT), you feel very comfortably enveloped.

Fresh, but not too fresh, lightly floral-powdery, this scent surrounds you, and oh, how beautiful it is. The fruity top note quickly gives way to a rosy jasmine note, and it becomes beautifully powdery, but not too much. Sometimes less is more!

A really well-made, light, always wearable fragrance that ends in a woody, not too sweet base.
A scent that must be mentioned despite its simplicity and is definitely worth testing.
Many other new releases did not appeal to me at all, but this one has something that caught my attention.

Sometimes you can't explain it, but here it was the famous love at first sight!
And since I have become more selective over time, I can really enjoy this scent, and my husband likes it very much too.
I also want to mention that not every second person (so far *g*) is walking around with this scent, which is not a bad thing.......

Romantic flower garden with citrus sprinkles. Starts fresh, becomes powdery. In the dry down, woody musk fluff. Warm, delicate, slightly sweet. For the brave.
