Raspberry white chocolate kisses

I find it hard to believe the only two notes in this are lily and orchid. Almost all other sources say that there is a white chocolate note, which I think is actually the case here.

Going on wet it smells fresh and fruity, with the sort of tart sweetness that comes from a ruby chocolate. It's almost soapy too, sort of like shampoo. It's very sour and sharp, and even two little sprays is enough to give me a huge headache. As it dries it becomes a little more bearable, more soft and musky. It sort of smells like someone eating raspberry white chocolate while powdering their nose. But despite the sort of food-y quality it's still not a gourmand

This perfume is LOUD. It's actually quite similar to Angel Nova, probably because of the prominent raspberry note. But where Angel Nova stays tart and fruity Baiser Fou mellows into a sweeter more powdery scent. Both are fun and flirty.

It has crazy longevity, the sillage isn't as great but it's still pretty impressive. I tried and tried to scrub this off after 6 hours but it still wouldn't leave my skin! Even now, two days later, I can almost smell it on my comforter after going to bed having unsuccessfully removed it. It smells nice, but it's just too strong for me.

Those the Only Notes?

I find it difficult to believe that those are the only notes in this. But then, what is °orchid° anyway? I have read that if real orchid were in a 'fume it would cost, like, a £squillion per bottle! & that orchid is a °fantasy note°, as they call it in perfumery. I was drawn to this by something odd & compelling in the aroma of this - something leaning, but ever-so gently leaning, a litlet skanky. Maybe it was just the °orchid° note, whatever that actually is.

Just gotten it out of the box & had a little go on it. Think I'll appoint this unto my next wearing. I remember now why I got it - I ^would^ say it is a bit of an outlier, in terms of sheer content. Seems to me to inhabit the centre of a wide space well away fræ other 'fumes. In fact it'd puzzling me greatly that there aren't more 'fumes that smell somewhat like this, as I do think the idiom of this is a mighty viable one. Don't know that 'skanky' is the right word, even with the 'gently leaning' qualification; but whatever is in it that gives it that distinction is at least a little °naughty° or a little °rude°.

And as for the ubiquitous muskiness that I'm never done going-on about (but it ^really is^ that important to me!) ... well ... I am thoroughly excruciated at this very moment!

Brings to mind Ærin's ~Lilac Path~, as that also is an outlier content-wise. Obviously I don't mean it's actually ^like^ it, forthat that would be an utter contradiction of what I've just said.

I'm having trouble being through with coming back to this: there seems to me something perhaps even a tad sinister in the almost juvenile innocence of it - perhaps a little like the sinistry of the sweet voice wherewithal, according to myths & legends & various stories of the supernatural, a conjured diabolickal spirit is wont to speak upon appearance at the sorcer's bidding. Or perhaps, is it that it is exciting a forebodeful thread of déja-vu in my mind, that always just fails to anchor itself, and of the anchoring of which I am a little afraid for some reason?

You know, I think I'm going to seriously enjoy this 'fume when I get round to wearing it; and that is likely to be soon, I do deem! Never thought I would be impatient for Kurkdjians ~Petit Matin~ to wear-off!

Yet another thing I'm beginning to wonder now: ^is^ it, perhaps, ^a little^ like ~Lilac Path~ in °a certain way°?

I also wonder why the shelf-life symbol on this says only 18 month, rather than the usual (and indeed even default) 36.

... the following morning ...
The Kurkdjian's wearing-off at last! Actually, I ^seriously^ enjoyed wearing it - it's a mickle-mighty good 'fume, that ~Petit Matin~. We 'fume heads of course, whatever we might say about layering, practise a °quasilayering° in that there is inevitably an overlap between consecutively worn 'fumes (kindlily refrain fræ admonishments as to showering insufficiently frequently or thoroughly!). I think the initial flourish of this one is conforming well with the parting gasps of that.

It could be mistaken superficially for a cloyingly sweet fruity, particularly rasberryish 'fume. If you're getting that, & especially if you're thinking with "not another sweet fuity ... ", then I would urge you to take stock & think again!

No, this is strange, strange. That °naughti- rude-ness°, perhaps bordering on the most discrete kind of skankiness, that I mention above, is flourishing amply. It's even, perhaps, beginning to take-on a certain ... °oiliness°, perhaps.

I'm looking forward avidly to the full deveiopment of this: reckon it's going to be seriously good.

... couple of hours later ...
It's settling down & maturing ^very^ nicely. Would say there is a ... perhaps °woodi- ambri-ness° coming through - but, I cannot fully confidently call it that as it just is never through with its being so ^mysterious^!

... a few hours later ...
Can't fault this, performance-wise. It's quite a powerhouse, in fact! Would say it's quite linear: such apparent changes in it are just a case of my °learning° it with time, I think: sometimes there's a flash of green, sometimes of amber; you know, the usual kind of thing: but on the whole it stays prett-much basically the same; which is fine by me! I'm not atall weary of it. Bring it on yet more!

A sweet kiss

It's a nice kiss. But it's like being kissed by a woman. She smells wonderful and is freshly washed, soapy clean and groomed. An orchid shampoo or a light perfume along those lines I get from her. She had nibbled some white chocolate and raspberries before puckering her lips for me and comes towards me delicately but full of joy. The white chocolate makes the scent creamy sweet and the raspberry adds a fruity tartness that really comes out great here. Plus, that soapy clean note lingers the entire time. It's up front at first, but then gives way to the slightly powdery florals and chocolate. The scent strikes me as elegant as well as eloquent because of the florals and cleanliness, but that sour and creamy sweetness also makes her seem youthful and radiant at the same time. This woman, throws herself smiling at my neck and from her I like to be kissed again and again. You just want to see her always and everywhere, because she lights up the room. That's why Baiser Fou goes with everything in my opinion, a great signature
