Angel Over the Delta
Reflet Sur L'Okavango is an explosion of scent impressions.
Full-bodied sweet, creamy, warm, fruity, heavenly! BUT what does this have to do with Okavango? Good question...
Okavango... in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, this 1700 km long river flows through one of the most barren landscapes on our planet. Barren, yes, but lifeless? No. It is teeming with life. But water is scarce during the dry season in the desert.
The animals pilgrimage through the heat in search of water. Thousands of wild animals populate the seemingly endless expanses of the savannah. Shimmering air, dust-dry, hot, endless... The Okavango Delta, on the other hand, is rich in water and feels populated with the rest of Africa's animal, bird, and plant life. THIS is where the action is... um, the Big Five, which include lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalo, and leopards....
Sonia Constant surely had a thought in mind when she named the fragrance after the life-giving river. However, I think she had the Okavango Delta with its lush green flora in mind.
A water landscape with papyrus and reed swamps, floating islands of reed grass, lagoons, palm islands, trees, water figs, acacias, ripe fruits, flowering trees, and caper bushes, blossoms as far as the eye can see, everywhere it teems and buzzes.
Reflet Sur L'Okavango contains, according to the pyramid, only acacia, caper, tonka bean, and dried herbs. However, my nose detects so much more.
Definitely ylang-ylang, mandarin, vanilla, and musk. It radiates with sweet exotic fruitiness. Yet it is never annoying or too sweet. The herbs and capers temper the sweetness and give the whole thing a wonderful depth. I can't smell anything of the river itself in this fragrance. It is not aquatic at all. The tonka bean and vanilla give it an incredibly creamy soft texture. It awakens a very strong longing for vacation in me.
When I wore it, compliments were pouring in.... my 9-year-old daughter said... "this is how angels must smell." She's right!!!!
The scent does something to me, and that is bad.... because it is very expensive!! But you get a lot for it, H+S is top-notch.
