to the islands under the wind
not too long ago, I elevated the EdP to the status of my favorite companion - - my new signature scent -
quasi subsidiary to the EdT described here, which unfortunately is no longer produced and is simply even more beautiful, even more radiant - - the more fragrant older sister - which is what this is about.
Regarding the often incomprehensible practices of the perfume industry - to constantly reformulate the most beautiful perfumes, only to present us with a rather more generic creation - more common, adjusted to the supposedly broader taste - with the motto eat or die - this has already been addressed in relation to some formerly fantastically composed perfumes.
And as can also be heard here, I am not the only disappointed member who painfully misses this special island wood.
B u t ........ I don't want to say that the EdP isn't also a great scent, just not quite with the same attributes and it is not by chance currently my preferred companion.
I am slowly realizing that I often comment on scents that are no longer available or are hard to find.
So be it! .... they are worth a comment ..... and love carries the heart on the tongue .... :))
---*---*---*---
The bottle is already a beautiful sight, the shape of noble-modern straightness ...... And as the first sprays pass through my nose - I perceive this aquatically underlaid scent - my limbic system is instantly set into ecstatic excitement ;)) ... and then - - - - - I grow wings :p
From then on, I believe I am soaring like a huge bird with a mild warm wind ......
To ....
over land and sea
to faraway places
to the islands under the wind
whose aquatic breath
carries the fruity aromas of the southern hemisphere
and the warmth of sun-dried silvery weathered island wood ...
to creep under my wings deep into my soul ..............
---*---*---*---
The scent begins with the bright fruitiness of citrus top notes - noticeably led by the Mediterranean freshness of mandarins - whose radiance is immediately absorbed into dry warm wood and enveloped by delicate ylang-ylang floral notes. This also subtly adds a lovely floral aura to this community.
It is the mandarins in the top note that, according to my research, are primarily responsible for this truly perceptible aquatic note and subtly weave the impression of southern, sea-kissed coasts.
The seductive base notes with their fine vanilla components give the final aromatic touch. Their inherent natural sweetness acts like a delicate veil and is absolutely pleasant and unobtrusive.
The beautiful silvery-bright accord brought by the aquatic elements remains throughout the entire scent journey and makes the fragrance experience of the perfume bright, light, and fine like a friendly summer day at the sea ..... and both men and women can enjoy it for at least 6 hours .....
The "synergistic effect" of the rather limited ingredients evokes a scent of the highest class - an elegant masterpiece of nobility - - a fragrance with great wingspan ... ;))

Das EdP geht gar nicht für mich: der Start in hellgrün-pudrig -> wunderbar, danach folgt ein langer Marsch durch Puderzucker bis ich auf der vanillin-bestäubten Insel lande....
Extrem sprachgewandt , mit wunderschönen Bildern, bringst du einem diesen schönen Duft noch einmal näher. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen :
Anscheinend ist die alte Version noch viel besser...
Auch für mich ein ganz zarter Stoff, feingliedrig, flüssige Seide, flüchtig...
verlieben, die nicht mehr regulär erhältlich sind..... den Sinn, den Chanel hier verfolgt, muss und will ich nicht verstehen.
