Old Love
Old love never rusts.

Emilie found her way back to me at the beginning of last year, and it was very quickly over for me. This self-confident yet so warm and soft beauty settled deep in my heart. An anchor scent that could pull me out of many painful memories.
Unfortunately, my husband couldn't relate to the scent at all, and I was met with tirades of anger whenever I wore it. So, I made the difficult decision to part with Emilie, and if I had known what was soon to come, I would have kept Emilie.
Shortly after Emilie was gone, my husband left too, or rather, I had to leave. Away from our shared home. The dream shattered with a deafening bang. On the day of my move, his new partner was already moving in with him, and I had to sift through some of my boxes among hers, which pushed me to my limits. In the process, I came across a leftover decant of Emilie and sprayed myself with it generously. Out of defiance. Her beautiful soft berry aroma and the wonderfully strong yet cuddly patchouli wrapped around me like a protective cloak, and on that day, much that could have deeply hurt me bounced off. I managed this bizarre and almost grotesque situation. But all of this still left many marks; scents that once meant so much to me no longer reached me. I lived for several months in a bubble from which nothing bad could escape and nothing good could approach me.
Eventually, the time came again... Sample boxes, decant boxes were sorted and organized, and the little Emilie re-emerged. Almost empty, but still enough for a spray. Almost reverently, I waited for what this would trigger in me... it blew me away. This intense, slightly earthy patchouli grounds you firmly on the floor. The wonderful berries, full authentic aroma, have a sensually cheeky playfulness that lightens the mood. The leather is slightly rough, as if it has been through a lot, yet so much softness remains. I only smell the woods subtly, but they form a fine safety net. Emilie wraps around you for over 12 hours. And even in low doses, she shows an incredible presence.
That one spray completely convinced me, and at the beginning of this year, Emilie was allowed to move back in with all her splendor.
I am glad that this love has endured and that we are side by side again.
It goes on. Always onward.

Uninvited Long-Term Guest
Berries and patchouli have recently become components that I greatly appreciate. And since I've heard so many good things about Emilie, I invited her to my home. She arrived in the form of a sample. Right at the greeting (just a quarter spray!!) I exclaimed, “Phew, that is… well, intense!” I also had imagined her quite differently in appearance. I expected a dark beauty, but Emilie is blonde and wears a light dress. I asked her to take a seat first.

Soon it became a bit much for me, as she had scented my entire dwelling in no time, and I thought that if I just took a full bath now, she might get bored and disappear… So I bathed for 45 minutes, my skin became wrinkly, and Emilie stayed. So I initiated the second phase of repulsion: strongly scented body cream (vanilla/cinnamon). Emilie was not impressed by that either. She sat there and talked about woods, pepper, and leather, although I wouldn’t have associated that with her at all. But I wasn’t really listening. My furtive glances at the clock and my restrained yawning (repulsion phase 3) were also blissfully ignored by her.

What’s the saying about guests and fish, both of which start to smell after three days? Well, Emilie hasn’t been here for three days yet, but in terms of scent, one could roughly compare it. I would like to get rid of her, but I fear she will stay the night as well. And gradually, I’m running out of diplomacy. The next phase will be rudeness…

Conclusion: Emilie is a well-made fragrance, but it’s all too much for me. Too much patchouli, too many berries, and I can’t smell anything else. Moreover, patchouli/berry scents must always be DARK for me, but Emilie is LIGHT. A fact that somehow irritates me given this powerful sillage. Those who know me are aware that I have nothing against a punch, but this scent is simply too intense for me.

And Emilie also has enormous endurance. I’m now starting repulsion phase 4 and inviting a friend to join (Hypnotic Poison - 5 sprays. Minimum). I will only converse with her and simply ignore Emilie. Maybe then she’ll finally leave…

his Muse
She was one of the most colorful personalities of the Viennese Bohemia around the turn of the century; she shaped the era of Art Nouveau.
Together with her two sisters, she ran a fashion salon in an excellent location; her "reform dresses" were a topic of conversation in the salons: loosely falling garments made of flowing, exotic patterned material that did not constrict, allowing the bold woman to finally forgo the corset.
However, women at the turn of the century (19th/20th century) were not easily convinced, and only a few found the courage to dress so progressivly.
To ensure the salon flourished, models from Paris and London were created for the fashionable and respectable Viennese woman. Visits to, among others, Christian Dior and Coco Chanel ensured that their latest creations could also delight the imperial city and its very impressive and stylish women.
Emilie Flöge's fashion was not only a topic of conversation at the time of the Fin de siècle; she became well-known primarily as the "beloved" and muse of the painter Gustav Klimt.
She often posed for him; since she first appeared in his studio at the age of twelve, she belonged to his life and he to hers.
A love couple, as often assumed, they were probably never; their deep friendship and intimacy prevented that.
Klimt's love affairs and numerous children also provided ample conversation material at the time.
Long after his death (1918), she lovingly took care of his estate.
Unfortunately, when she left Vienna in the early forties, she could not take Gustav's large-format paintings and her own remarkable collection of traditional costumes with her to the house by Lake Attersee due to transport and space reasons.
They were lost to the flames in the last days of World War II.
Emilie Flöge was a "woman of distinction" in her time; she lends a very special charm to many paintings.
(In the "Klimt" film, which premiered in spring 2006, she was portrayed by Veronica Ferres.)

"Emilie" by Cerchi Nell'Acqua strongly reminds me of what Emilie Flöge's charisma must have been: this fragrance is all woman!
Sensual, with opulent fullness, and just as loyal as Emilie stood by her Gustav.

The dark, moist, and very earthy patchouli note envelops from the very beginning with warm, deep sensuality; a hug that harmoniously accompanies for hours.
A fruity berry blend, also feeling like juicy ripe raspberries and blackberries, is refined with a generous dose of pepper; it wonderfully enriches the existing patchouli aroma with spiciness.
Then leather enters the stage; the fragrance composition is now vigorously shaken: an almost mighty whirlwind of aromas is created - all senses are touched!
What had not yet awakened now does: eternally alluring femininity lifts its head and looks around with a slightly veiled gaze!
Woods, perhaps not particularly exotic, but still very fragrant, skillfully complete this magical mixture!
"Emilie" envelops with charm and almost old-fashioned opulence; a flowing, dreamy yet buoyant waltz dancing fragrance embrace with a high recognition value made from exclusive materials is the success.

Just as a walk through Vienna becomes complete with a visit to the "Sacher"; so "Emilie" is the crowning glory of certain days: the fragrant counterpart of a piece of Sachertorte with plenty of whipped cream (and a glass of champagne)!

"Emilie" pampers the woman who engages with it: generously and timelessly!
Gustav Klimt's portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer ("Woman in Gold") can easily glow in the background:
Then a refined fragrance impression is complete!

The Girl with Almond Eyes -
It always repeats itself -! One sniffs their way through the depths of Parfumo like a search dog, ultimately to snag a potential, never-before-smelled fragrance experience in some corner of the labyrinth. Something that could surprise again and expand the spectrum of one’s own scents.

So it happened with 'Emilie' - that basically only the reviews and the sparse but promising ingredients triggered the order at Greeni07. - Just to test it - ....
After all, one hasn’t had too bad experiences with the Italians in terms of fragrance. -

Emilie came ...... She radiated her fascination in a way ...... she won!
At least for the moments when I wish for a sweet, velvety scent -. Emilie is not necessarily my usual type, as I love the perfumes of the old class, which are not overtly and necessarily cuddly; those where you still have to explore the paths to the secret of the scent to then love it -; but also unusual artifacts with clear sillage -, and orientals that can transport you.
I also like to compare this to the enjoyment and variety of food - one doesn’t eat the same thing every day and handles it according to mood. -
When I finally treated myself to the first spray with some expectation, I was initially disappointed - I was reminded in that moment of 'Aura Sublim'! - No, please not a "twin of tarte au citron"! - Nothing against the aforementioned scent, it is also highly praised, but - if I remember correctly - it was really like a dessert, and scents that go too clearly in that direction are not for me. -

With Emilie, it was different -. To greet me, she first briefly embraced me with a 'sweetness', but then took me on a beautiful journey into her multifaceted soul.
For once, I liked a sweet scent, - which otherwise is not my thing at all -, but: The surprise lies in the moment! ..... And that has captivated me.
But now to the -

Scent -
with only 5 components that intertwine wonderfully.
It is delicate, it is feminine, it feels creamy. It is sweet/earthy/woody with a light powdery note, wonderfully interwoven with leather and wood, the fruits are gently kept in check and offer some resistance to the sweetness impression, and in the background, a warm almond note weaves in, like the golden thread through a fabric. - Emilie gradually becomes a fruity-powdery delicate girl with the most beautiful almond eyes and elegant allure.
In my statement about Emilie, I mentioned peach - yes, I perceive it that way; but they are berries. Pepper - is present, but only sounds insignificant.

The sillage is just a dream. When you wear the scent, it floats around you and announces 'very good' to others about its beauty. - When a light warm wind blows, the scent intensifies in my opinion - like kissed by the wind, which animates it to its best form.
The longevity is quite good - after about 8 hours closer to the body. Emilie fits, in my opinion, for every season.

I will indulge in Emilie, wear her gladly - on a beautiful warm summer evening; - for 'times of tenderness' or also for 'lulling'. -
Embrace me, Emilie! -

When Summer Ends and Winter Approaches...
When summer ends and winter approaches,
Emilie enchants with a gentle voice.
She lures and calls and calls and lures.
Distributing nectar balm on your skin,
golden shimmering, reddish iridescent.
She wraps you in her sweetness,
in a glowing patchouli cape.

She lets warmth scent in swirls from the ground,
driving out the last sunbeam.
The earth still pregnant with fruits,
gives forth its rear guard of potential,
steaming almost, under the weight of leaves,
only to then completely fall into cold slumber.

Comfortingly, she takes you in her arms,
to protect you from the first frost,
lulling indeed, never pushing.
She sings a little song to you,
of fruits, fluffy soft and overripe.
Builds a warm house from resinous wood,
in the middle of the earth.
Embraces you and takes you along.
Let yourself fall, step by step.

When summer ends and winter approaches,
Emilie extends her warm hand to you.
When you feel a chill in the morning,
she wraps around you, a warm scarf,
so cozy.
Laughing, in high spirits, she hops through piles of leaves,
with the sun in her heart,
and breathes it in deeply and out:
Autumn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emilie radiates for about 5 hours at arm's length before she becomes quieter and gradually fades. Close to the skin, she is still intensely detectable on the wrist even 9 hours after application.
The wooden table in my kitchen, where I decanted Emilie 3 weeks ago for sharing, has merged with her and still occasionally releases scent remnants, reminding me of apple pie in that interplay. (Must be the table)
There is no scent development here. She presents herself from start to finish with the same fragrance.

Emilie is a sweet girl. With her parents still being hippies, she follows her own patchouli path. Berries line it. Further away, leather and woods.

Grunt scent. The snout blissfully burrows through fruity earthy sweetness, the underbrush crackles pleasantly, warmed by sun resin. I grin like an idiot.

I can't perceive leather there
It smells like a marzipan candy to me
A certain sweetness and earthiness at the end.
Definitely nice*

On the dark leather sofa

with the sultry berry
The wood is already crackling by the fireplace.
