The Boundary Walker

Here I am, I've landed, the border in sight.
Arriving, no, I probably won't.
I carry myself alone, sometimes looking back.
I want and need my other self.
Finally living, giving, I'm different from who I am.
I want to fly, to conquer, I know myself well..
Pondering, I try my luck.
A zesty, very short, slightly piercing and delicately salty opening accord, Richard Ibanez has created a rebellious princess.
Equally capricious, vulnerable, graceful as well as strong and elite.
The top note dances lightly bergamot-like. A bit of grapefruit that
with the pink flesh, a little slice of peach and the brief appearance of the fruits
is immediately framed by a truly beautiful, but not very powerful red rose.
I notice an aldehydic scent enhancer, which makes the rose seem
larger, more elegant, and present at the moment.
But it is coy, elusive, always diving away.
A very idiosyncratic development.
The main role here is played by the peony. Wonderfully rich
whole bushes, dewy, juicy, and honey-fine.
With sweet ylang-ylang, tonka, and vanilla, very gourmand :)
The second main actor takes over seamlessly, my beloved patch and…
this princess goes deeper than one might think,
is more serious than it first seems, bolder and also nobler than she knows :)
a slightly torn good girl.
Beautiful peony-patch :-)
Vetiver?? It smells minty, slightly woody :) with gentle traces of white musk
and a powdery idea right at the end.
The boundary walker lasts wonderfully and for hours. Finest tonka-vanilla patch-peony until the end. A scent that develops very quickly and takes the heart note into the base.
It is not a powerhouse in sillage, so my environment does not suffer.
It holds quite well on me, which means something, my skin absorbs.
An absolute year-round unisex fragrance and very, very erotic.
Sometimes a bit dismissive and tending towards a solitary arrogance.
As I reached the last lines, Carla shot through my mind…
I just hope my love for the scent doesn't fade now!
Bruni is not really my thing ;)

Vetiver is mentioned, but I suspect there's also galbanum in the heart. Anyway, it's my dream scent and pure magic for me!

Beautifully written, princess! I find this scent simply overwhelming!
You know, it's best with a splash of Sel Marin ;-)

I found it quite feminine, at least for me. I guess it crossed the line for me. ;)

I think Bruni is great, just not Monsieur!
Have a lovely start to the week!

"Gradwanderin" is a nice play on words.

Classy. What you can smell! I find it so dark. But really great. Wicked princess. ;-) The Carla fits well.
