Mysterious pink clouds of smoke...
I never knew that an incense fragrance could be so velvety soft, fluffy and feminine and perfectly fitting for a pink liquid. Now I know. Baiser de Florence really is airy and sweet like a kiss, but it has depth. Rather dry, but in no way scratchy. It does not smell like a church, a headshop or whatever cliché of incense we usually have in mind. Elegant iris powder, sweet vanilla and heliotrope prevent that. A small dose of white musk makes it extra fluffy.
When I smell this I imagine cloudy, pink smoke or vapor wafting through a mysterious place with a witchy, but modern feel. I can't describe it exactly and I don't know what happens there, it's just this fleeting image of transparent fabrics, burning incense, grey, black and pink tones, a mix of minimalist and antique items... But aren't those perfumes that keep you guessing the best?
This is absolutely stunning. It's pretty and wearable, but unlike anything else I ever smelled. It unites darkness and light, coziness and mystery, warmth and cool smoke, powder and resins. Baiser de Florence slowly sinks to the skin as it dries down without taking many turns, but the scent itself is complex. The final drydown over night is still similar to the first notes, just warmer and more resinous.
I own a bottle of Baiser de Florence and don't wear it often enough, I guess because it's not something that feels fitting for mundane everyday activities. I should really honor this more, it deserves all the hype and love.
