Tender Secuction
Satine is flowery and fruity, powdery and sweet, a little woodsy and zappy, fresh but also balmy. It is all that - but not a plain flowerscent, not gourmand, not a fruitpunsh. It is simply a new BUDchild.
We have a very soft flowery start where the fruit can be sensed already. According to the ingredients given we have tangerine here but I think I’m sensing red berries, but later more about that. Then comes a crescendo of tangy fresh lemmonmyrtle, a bit herby green, this is my impression. It can not be compared to plain lemon or grapefruit, although more to the later which leaves this light green impression with me.
It continues descreetly with flowers, a bit powdery despite all the freshness. This must be the influence of the rose, even though I think only oris can produce this kind of powdery scent. But as always Howard Jarvis reveals only part of the ingredients to tickle the noses of his fans. A whiff of this tangy freshness swings up every now and then and continues so almost to the end.
Somehow you sense the lineage with Sophia and Sweetheart, there swings something from both in Satine. Sophia donates the light smokyness, Sweetheart the powdery note.
Towards the end Satine proofs her own character. It becomes sweet, but not sticky. I compare it to a nutty whipped cream with a touch of fluffed up butter or with soft dark chocolate caramel, the taste lingering on the tongue when it has long been swallowed. A drop of vanilla has been added to. And a smoky, woody breeze, very soft. And again light accords of red berries, even at the end of the development.
Satine is a scent that can also be worn well at the office. The sillage is nice, not to strong. Stability is good, up to 8 hours. Again we have a very beautiful composition without a rival in sight. But what else can we expect from Mr.Jarvis?
