Celinade for the classroom

Just two weeks ago, I rated Rimbaud with a 9 and wrote a statement. In the meantime, the bottling is empty, a bottle moved in and I have come to the conclusion that neither the number nor a few words do justice to this magnificent fragrance.

Surely many of you remember this one teacher, whose closer explanations you wanted to avoid at all costs. Not because you didn't like her or didn't need the explanations. Simply because she liked to drink coffee during the break and enjoyed a cigarette. The pleasant break is begrudged to all from the heart - only unfortunately, this tremendous mixture of scents, which these teachers then exuded from their mouths, awakens pure horror in me to this day.

As a teacher of highly pubescent adolescents, I have due to this unforgettable olfactory experience very specific ideas about how my fragrance should act. Namely, I do not want them to avoid my explanations. Under no circumstances should my perfume fill the classroom (the teens already do that with their overdosed body sprays). It can't be perfume-y, loud, cheesy, annoying, pungent, bubbly, or intrusive. I want the youngsters to notice only a pleasant, subtle, calm, well-groomed, warm scent when I lean in to them. Only very subtly, perhaps even subconsciously. But still in such a way that it remains in positive memory. Rimbaud fulfills exactly these criteria and I am already sure that many young people will associate me with this fragrance. He touches me with it in any case.
Rimbaud starts with a dreamlike authentic and natural lavender. He smells exactly like the pure lavender oil, which is on my bedside table. I love this naturalness and am a little disappointed in the first tests that the lavender is already gone after half an hour. In the meantime, however, I can perceive him quite discreetly in the background throughout the entire scent. This fulfills my desire to wear a quiet fragrance in the classroom, excellent.

After half an hour, the "Celinade", which is known to me and very much appreciated, takes over. As in Black Tie and Dans Paris I feel just incredibly comfortable with this delicate, gentle, restrained, noble and well-groomed vanilla in Rimbaud. At the same time, I now also perceive the wheat. It is difficult to put into words. But it gives the fragrance that certain something and I find it pleasantly soft and warm. The iris butter also contributes to the fulfillment of my wishes.
Neroli, however, my nose does not recognize.
The fragrance now remains so for a few hours, until it gently creeps away over the vanilla.
He is so close to the skin (even quieter than Black Tie and Dans Paris) that I needed a few attempts to perceive him longer than two hours. In the meantime, I can actually smell him all day and I look forward to it every morning.
