On Quiet Paws or the Elective Affinity
With the first spray of this fragrance, I had a déjà vu experience, it's... you know it from somewhere...!?
But of course, is it Narciso or not?
In fact, the scent is very similar in the opening and also in the further development, but there are a few small differences.
At first, I was very surprised that the only overlap in the fragrance pyramid is supposed to be musk, which astonishes me given this similarity.
Patchouli Tentation opens rather cool, but soon the white peach flashes subtly, taking away some of its initial severity.
Powdery and enveloping, the fragrance reveals its wonderful heart of iris on fluffy musk, and that is the part I like best about this scent.
I feel gently enveloped, delicately powdered and creamed, yet it is not an entirely sweet fragrance; patchouli sneaks up from the shadows on soft paws like a shy cat and grounds the scent.
But.......... the theme has partly missed the mark, as anyone expecting a darker patchouli scent based on the name will experience a moderate disappointment.
In my opinion, the theme is more about iris and musk; I even suspect some cedarwood in the background, even though it is not listed in the fragrance pyramid.
Despite all the kinship to Uncle Narciso, this fragrance becomes softer and less strict over time, always retaining its fine powderiness and wearing gently like a delicate silk scarf, yet with very good longevity.
Conclusion: I really like this fragrance despite the misleading name, which somehow doesn't quite fit this beautiful scent and only delivers the themed patchouli in very fine doses.
The white bottle fits very well, as it is a bright scent, clean and creamy with subtly fruity nuances, but certainly not a dark patchouli representative, which I forgive Bvlgari, as that is not my preferred fragrance theme anyway.

Der soll ja Ähnlichkeiten zu NR Poudré haben.
Kannst du das bestätigen?
Nette Grüße!
Bald kommt dieser feine Duft wieder zum Einsatz, es muß nur noch etwas kälter werden.
