I came to this perfume after many years of memory. I discovered it on a friend and later tested it repeatedly. However, I found that it didn't suit me very well. Good things take time. Only after many years did I treat myself to a large bottle. Already pre-conditioned, I thought that the chypre season is autumn. And somehow I always reached for the scent in the cool autumn. It didn't want to develop on my skin. It somehow remained barely changed on the surface and clung more to the clothing. I know it differently with chypres. Usually, they enter into a real symbiosis with my skin and change over time. I have now discovered the perfume for myself in warm April. Apparently, this chypre needs more warmth to develop beautifully. Now all its facets seem to be illuminated from all sides. The diva is coming out! This is a true classic, from a time when much more time was invested in a perfume composition, as I suspect. And many women, like the friend from whom I discovered the scent, wore a single fragrance. It unites many aspects: elegance, style, character, temperament... For me, it is still a size too big for everyday wear, but I now enjoy its presence like a piece of art that one admires simply because it is beautiful. Everything in its time.
This is definitely a fragrance with depth and facets, like many classics often are... Sigh... And yes, some chypres can be worn well in warmer temperatures - some green, lighter ones even in summer!
