Pois de Senteur - a story of dots and fragrance?
When we moved into our current apartment five years ago, there was no house built across the street, but a wild plot of land, overgrown with grasses, daisies, tansy, yarrow, yellow bedstraw, and wild sweet peas.
Pois means dots, specks, peas in French, and Senteur means scent, fragrance, but sweet peas are called Pois de Senteur!
Wild sweet peas may not have a scent, but their small, purple flowers are a sight to behold in a vase.
Even more beautiful are the noble sweet peas, which can be found in many gardens. The scent of the noble sweet pea is a very special fragrance and differs significantly from all other fragrant flowers. Soft and sweet, enchantingly sensual and feminine.
This exact scent has been captured by Corday for Pois de Senteur in the bottle.
At first, for fractions of a second, there are still waxy aldehydes detectable, then the top note surprises me with a musky note that I certainly did not expect here.
After that, the sweet pea gradually and gently reveals itself. From here on, the scent is a soliflore. At first, it appears delicate-floral, but it becomes stronger and more voluminous by the minute.
Surprisingly, Pois de Senteur has a remarkable sillage and the scent projects quite clearly and voluminously. Nevertheless, it does not come across as overpowering, as the sweetness corresponds to the sweetness of the flowers and the whole composition is exceptionally pleasant and sensually feminine.
The longevity is quite good at around 8 hours, and the scent fades with a very soft, understated vanilla note.
My little treasure is an Eau de Toilette in an old, beautiful pouring bottle that I received from France. Its extremely good condition is a testament to good care - it surely once belonged to a fragrance lover who kept it for many, many years. Now it can adorn my collection - visually and olfactorily!
