Bois des Îles Chanel 1926 Parfum

Please don't make such a noise here in the forum, don't pull me out of my dreams. I'm raving, I'm indulging!

After my disappointing experiences testing Chance (fragrance in a pink tutu), Allure (interesting, but not convincing), Beige (just too beautiful) and Sycomore (men's fragrance in the wrong dress), I have finally found what I was looking for in a potential new Chanel for me. It won't be easy to get Bois des Iles and it will be an expensive pleasure, but I have time.

The opening is rich in aldehydes. This is how I love Chanel! But these aldehydes don't have the dominance of No 5; instead, they glide into a fresh-happy-fruity spiciness sprinkled with coriander and peach. The sun is shining outside and I have a few rays on my skin.
I can't distinguish the individual notes in the heart. They are so wonderfully composed into a magnificent bouquet of the most beautiful flowers. For me, that's what makes a grand perfume. It doesn't reveal its secret!
And I'm also glad that while it becomes a bit powdery in the base, it's not too much, because I would have taken a warm powderiness badly from Bois des Iles. It's a gentle woodiness. Successful, masterful.

Please don't wake me up!
