Violet Velvet

In a neighborhood perfumery, I bought this little treasure not too long ago as a discounted item.
But "Obsession Night" really does not smell like a "discounted item." It is a beautiful, slightly dark, but also finely aquatic chypre fragrance that comes to my nose.
The EdP has little in common with Calvin Klein's oriental-chypre "original" Obsession.
Instead, it has other qualities. With its spicy fresh top notes, it takes me straight to a late spring evening. And this almost imperceptibly transitions into a velvety violet night, where the soft floral notes take center stage. A dark rose stands out, flanked by jasmine, green lily of the valley, and fresh gardenia. I find myself in a garden, in the middle of which a large water lily pond "reigns." A hint of nearby water...
Especially velvety and "violet" seem to me the wonderful vanilla and wood notes that almost sneak in during the nighttime silence. And, I believe I can catch at least a fine veil of delicious moss that clings to the trunk of an old tree.
And all of this with gentle nocturnal pleasure...

I like your description, but my nose just doesn't get along with aquatic notes. Even if it's just a hint of aquatic :o)
