The Wave
L'absolu approaches me like a towering, imposing wave - yet its spray disperses on the beach into thousands of shiny pearls.

These gently roll over my skin and transform into rainbow-colored prisms.

The Ylang shimmers, the Jasmine radiates, and the Tuberose shifts in its bright light.
The Iris dims the play of colors a bit, and the brightness becomes a tone darker and softer.
Mandarin lets the scent flow, and Sandalwood embraces it against the skin.

I think of Venus, the foam-born, emerging from her shell.
Feminine and graceful.

This foamy scent gains fullness through the enchanting Cistus.

The soft Patchouli tells of the goddess's long journey, from distant shores - to here and now.

A magical, partly mystical fragrance - and one longs for the sea.

Floral notes overpower the strong sweetness of the mandarin +YY = very unfortunate. A bit of wood + patchouli. Often smelled. H/S good. Very feminine.

Although the scent is almost entirely made up of floral notes, it's surprisingly sweet and almost vanilla-like towards the end. I like it! :-)

A heavy, sweet floral bomb with loads of jasmine, spicy-penetrating tuberose, and an almost gourmand, oriental background.

Elegant and floral with a slight oriental background, related to "Le Parfum," but still unique!
