Her name was Gisela...
...was my mother and her French name was Ghisèle. She was very well-read, interested in poets, and also wrote poems and short stories herself. She was only 1.64 m tall and rather petite, had brown hair and gray-green eyes. She wore Tosca and later Nonchalance.
But I am sure, had she known Ghisèle, it would have been her favorite fragrance.
Although the top note of Ghisèle has largely faded, there is still a hint of something lightly citrusy present, but it disappears very quickly.
The heart is dominated by flowers; flowers like violet, jasmine, lily of the valley, honeysuckle, and I would say heliotrope.
For the latter continues in the base along with vanilla and a bit of musk, where this heliotrope-vanilla note feels a tad too strong for my taste, achieving a certain penetrance. This note slightly clouds the fragrance enjoyment, as until then Ghisèle is a beautiful, soft floral scent with a lot of femininity.
Even though Ghisèle admittedly has a somewhat nostalgic quality, my mother was, in a sense, as well...
