Journey to my ancestor

My taste in perfume tends to lean towards oriental bombshells, old school, heavy, almost overwhelming scents. But I also really like complex, difficult and challenging perfumes. However, I'm a bit promiscuous when it comes to perfumes, and this one, which is totally different, won me over.

I've never smelled beetroot in a fragrance, I've tried other vegetables in perfumery, but nothing like this one. It automatically took me back to the heyday of my European ancestors, where this vegetable comes from. I immediately thought of my grandmother preparing lunch for my mother and uncles, which is curious, as none of them like beets.

The perfume gives me a delicious melancholy, even meditative. It is an introspective perfume, without anything sweet, complemented with a dry and airy incense. And with pink, lots of pink.

Its longevity is pretty cool, around 7 hours, and the projection is medium, but very noticeable. It's that aroma that you can feel again with just one movement, even after forgetting you were wearing it.
