Chypre Mossiness or Juicy Green Delight?

A Halloween mix of chypre, bath foam, and nature hits AugustA's nose without any preamble. In its effect, Wrappings is not exactly tame, but also not as wildly aromatic as the well-known elixir from the same house or Bandit or other older chypres. However, it is certainly related in terms of its herbal composition.
When the flowers join in - classic, fresh, and in a good sense ladylike - it becomes lighter and somewhat creamy. Herbally creamy.

I wade for hours knee-deep in Mediterranean herbs. A scent like fresh cool air while walking through the herb garden, no sweetness, of course, then again the aromatic bath foam vibe.
As you can see, Wrappings has loosely wrapped me up, and I sway between juicy green delight and chypre mossiness.

Well-suited for spring and summer, ideal for a refreshing boost.
I will save the rest of the sample for a summer test, anyway.

I think it's really nice for autumn as well. I've worn it in winter too, but I only use it very rarely since it's currently unavailable in A.

I really like it; I also notice a cool incense. Definitely wearable for me in the summer.

That's how I imagine a pleasant sauna infusion... **INDULGE**

It wrapped me up with its fresh, lively, chypre herbiness. What a fine, balanced composition that fits perfectly for spring.

When I read Clinique, I immediately think of Aromatics Elixir and get post-traumatic stress.

I think my mini was tilted back then, because I could handle Aromatics Elixir without any problem, but not this one.

Now you've really piqued my curiosity with the **chypre mossiness**!

This one is really great for spring/summer. Very green and herbal, yet soft at the same time. It wasn't bad at all!

Accurately described! A lovely herbal scent that I used to refresh myself with often ;))

I can imagine Mediterranean herbs and chypre mossiness working really well together.

I really like it! But unfortunately, I've never managed to get a bottle. I guess I’ll have to come up with a substitute.

Spring isn't far off, even if it doesn't look like it right now. So the sample probably won't change much. Still seems like a scent that's not made for me.

Probably too herbal for me. I’ll be taking cover from "Aromatics Elixir."

Herb, creamy care yet still a bit naughty, this must be something special! And I want both, juicy green delight and chypre mossiness. I’d even wait for it barefoot!

It's good that you're saving it for spring-summer.
Still, it's an all-rounder, very understated.
Great description.

Better a Hallowach scent than a Halloween scent!

I totally agree with 'Hallowach', but I would need to refresh my memory on the details with another test...

I think my mom had that one. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me, but much nicer than Aromatics. Agreed.
