...the last time I really messed up at something was at 17 when the driving instructor said, "Yes, of course you can look over your shoulder, signal, gently let the clutch out, and accelerate softly at the same time." I thought I would never manage it... I'm just too stupid.
This long-buried feeling rang my doorbell again today... what would S. Freud say about this...?!?
Either this fragrance and its individual noble components are made so well, or I am just too stupid to smell... or both... but with the fragrance diploma, it seems like nothing will come of it. I smell so many things in this perfume but can't pick out a single component, a nuance. Looking at the pyramid, I thought... AHA... maybe you should slowly look for another... lighter hobby... maybe something like rock hammering or so... is that the perfected art of perfumery?
I can't pick out a single one of these nuances... no lemon, bergamot, or even papyrus (I probably should have lived 2,000 years ago)... is there anyone at Parfumo who knows what that smells like???? Just as little do I know how the supposed filao wood smells... Zero points awarded!!!!
But what I do know is that this fragrance is simply wonderful... it starts fresh... with "Fresh-NoName"... after 10 seconds, however, an immediate "NoName-Sweetness" comes in... for me, it's closest to a smoky vanilla... a non-sweet sweetness... I had to struggle for words like this last time on a first date with my childhood sweetheart... the fragrance is not fresh... it is not sweet... both at the same time... the individual components merge for me into a very sensual and erotic-exotic note... which is hard to resist... the fragrance develops very quickly... even the warm sandalwood (filao?) is already noticeable after 15 minutes and dims the vanilla note a little. The longevity is really good at over 6-7 hours. Throughout the entire duration, the sweet and fresh note remains parallel... side by side... sensational mix!
I have never been to the South Seas or on a Pacific island... but a combination of Bois de Filao and Virgin Island Water creates these images in my head and brings them to life, making one think... yes, that's exactly how it must smell there.
I can't do it better, so I hope that someone among you (who knows about this) tests this dreamy exotic and provides me with the missing words.... or maybe "Yellow Pages";-)!?!
