to the islands under the wind

not too long ago I have the EdP raised to the status of my favorite companion - - my new signature fragrance -
quasi subsidiary for the EdT described here, which is unfortunately no longer produced and which is simply even more beautiful, even more radiant - - the more fragrant older sister - about which it is here.

On the often incomprehensible practices of the perfume industry - to reformulate the most beautiful perfumes over and over again, in order to present us then a rather more arbitrary creation - more common, the supposedly more general taste adapted -, according to the motto eat or die -, has been addressed here regarding some formerly fantastically composed perfumes yes already relevant.
And as one can also hear here sufficiently, I'm not the only disappointed member who misses this special island wood painfully.
A b e r ........ does not want to say that the EdP is not also a great fragrance, not equal but with the same attributes and just not by chance currently also my preferred companion.

So slowly I notice myself that I very often comment on fragrances that are already no longer or only with difficulty to have.
Be it so! .... they are worth a comment ..... and the infatuation carries yes the heart on the tongue .... :))

---*---*---

The bottle is already a beautiful appearance, the form of noble-modern straightforwardness ...... And while the first sprays pull through my nose -, I perceive this aquatic underpinned fragrance -, the limbic system is literally ad hoc in rapturous excitement ;)) ... and then - - - - I grow wings :p
Henceforth, I believe myself equal to a giant bird with a mild warm wind to soar ......

On ....
over land and sea
to faraway places
to the islands beneath the wind
whose aquatic breeze
the fruit aromas of the southern hemisphere
and the warmth of sun-dried silvery-weathered island wood carries with it ...
to crawl under my wings to my soul ..............

---*---*---

The fragrance begins with the bright fruitiness of citrus top notes - noticeably led by the Mediterranean freshness of tangerines - whose radiance is immediately absorbed into dry warm wood and enveloped by delicate ylang-ylang floral. Through this also quite discreetly a lovely floral Duftaura inserts itself into this community.

It is the mandarins of the top note, according to my research, are largely responsible for this truly noticeable aquatic note and subtly weave in the impression of southern, sea shores.

The seductive base notes with their fine vanilla components provide the final aromatic touch. Their own natural sweetness acts like a delicate veil and is absolutely pleasant and unobtrusive.
The beautiful silvery-light chord, which brings the aquatic happening with it, remains thereby over the entire fragrance course and makes the fragrance experience of the perfume bright, light and fine like a friendly summer day at the sea ..... and that can enjoy male as well as female over at least 6 hours .....

The "synergistic effect" of the rather clear ingredients generates here a fragrance of the extra class -, an elegant marvel of noblesse - - a fragrance with a large wingspan ... ;))
