harmoniously flowing, spicy-clear elegance
Well, what can I say?, to borrow a phrase often heard here.
Much already fulfills skin, senses, and even the mind during the testing phases.
Capturing these sensations and putting them into words is not always easy.
There have already been very readable thoughts published (here about “Eau de Caron”); do my feelings and impressions of a fragrance masterpiece still need to be added?
I ask myself this question over and over again.
I have now written more than a thousand contributions about more or less impressive fragrance encounters, and now I should remain silent about such an elegant and timeless beauty that I chose today as my daytime fragrance after much deliberation?
No, that would be asking too much of me; so the Sunday laziness is banished.
For its time, the eighties, the “golden years of the fragrance world,” as I call them, “Eau de Caron” is a very restrained, almost considerate creation.
What did I wear as a young, small, delicate woman?!
Fragrance bombs, like the two Lagerfeld compositions “Chloé” and “KL,” were naturally part of my everyday fragrance repertoire, and of course, I had to have a travel spray; it was diligently reapplied.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have bothered with such a quiet yet extremely charming fragrance being.
We were just like that back then: It had to sparkle and pop - even in fashion and art!
The eighties were anything but subtle!
That’s why it’s so wonderful that today in this community, there is the opportunity to get to know and often love everything that was once scorned or simply not seen or recognized.
Distance and maturity are excellent advisors here!
But now to "Eau de Caron," even the name sounds noble!
Skillfully arranged, we are greeted right after skin contact with a selection of the most wonderful citrus fruits: ripe, fragrant bergamot, mandarins, and lemons were picked for this and richly adorned with bitter, slightly peppery basil leaves and therapeutic-aromatic clary sage.
What a refreshingly and pleasantly southern spicy fragrance fountain as an entrée of elegant radiance, attributed to the aldehydes.
Nothing scratches or bites here; everything harmonizes excellently with one another.
This herbal-woody component even reaches into the floral heart, as thyme and cedarwood cannot hide their presence here.
Thus, aromatic-colored fragrance veils in different shades of green, yellow/gold, and brown (which also reflects the not sun-bright liquid in the bottle) weave through an unusually composed floral splendor.
Common fragrance notes like roses, iris, and ylang-ylang were left out, and instead, the specially spiced fragrance charm of garden carnations and numerous white, exceedingly sensually fragrant jasmine flowers were chosen, accompanied by delicate orange blossoms (no, they do not get lost in this fragrance concert; on my skin, they assert themselves quite well!) and the fragrant exoticism of orchids.
How floral yet simultaneously spicy-herbaceous, how refreshingly green, this mixture develops, which can already be awarded the designation “Eau.”
A first hint of vanilla greeted us already with the orchids; now rich streams of vanilla run through this creation, underlaid with matching leather accords.
A strong dose of oak moss (perhaps too strict for some sensitive feelings), rich earthy patchouli additions, and resinous smoke further emphasize the well-intended masculinity of this wonderfully composed base.
Thus, in this composition, yin and yang meet in balance.
Today, there is the classification “unisex” for this: Everything must be sorted into categories; however, my senses often do not comply. They are known to swim against the current!
Isn’t so much in life cross-border? Why not in the world of fragrance?
“Eau de Caron” is noble, elegantly underscores personality, and gives - as Greenfan1701 aptly writes - a confident upright gait!
Sometimes we just have to tighten a few extra corset stays to get through life somewhat unscathed.
Here, “Eau de Caron” might already help with a pleasantly fragrant aura, as a
protector and caring companion.
Sillage and longevity correspond to the brand and also underline the designation “Eau”: Eau de toilette is usually clear and, despite strong aromatic components, light-footed; it possesses its own charm.
And this also applies to “Eau de Caron”: We find flowing clear elegance in fragrance form!
What more could we want?
