IF WISH REFILL ITSELF
I hadn't been a member of Parfumo for such a long time, when I almost "stumbled" over this fragrance. "GRAIN DE SOLEIL", I found the name already beautiful, but the enthusiastic comments almost fixture me. Cinnamon or vanilla is rather not mine, but somehow the descriptions of the fragrance fascinated me, and so it wandered quite fast, without ever having tested it before on my wish list.
But then I quarrelled with myself, should I really get this? I didn't even get the idea to look around the souk. So for almost three years, I thought, "Should I, shouldn't I?" All the while I looked around here, and was inspired by the comments and photos of some perfumers. So I got to know the side of a very, very dear Parfuma. One day this perfume wrote to me and asked me if my wish list was still up to date. Very surprised I answered yes. Whether I would give her my address free...Now I was more than surprised, and at first skeptical. But she explained to me that she had seen a fragrance in my wish list that she possessed, but which she would unfortunately no longer tolerate. She wanted to give me the scent. I was just missing the words, and I couldn't believe it. But she kept her word and even sent me the consignment number so that I could inform myself about the status. Was THAT exciting ! I felt like a little kid the night before the presents. I kept checking when the parcel was coming and asked myself all the time which fragrance it might be. Then finally, finally the package came. I ran all jittery up the stairs, and while I was still storming up the stairs, I ripped the paper open......sat down breathlessly at the table, and now opened the box quite timidly. And then I held it in my hands: GRAIN DE SOLEIL
The tears came to me, of all things the perfume I wanted the most out of the 63 fragrances in my list...I was so touched that I stayed seated for a while and was only amazed.
Then the big moment, the first sprayer on the wrist. Immediately an incredibly powdery cloud envelops me, and I hold my breath a little. When I first sniff the orange blossom almost happily bounces towards me, accompanied by a distinctive cinnamon scent. At first it reminds me of Cantate by Yves Rocher. But "Grain de Soleil" has far more radiance, is more complex. On this day I still have to go to town, and I am so happy that I hum "Good Day Sunshine" from the Beatles before me. I am accompanied by this scent, which spreads such a serenity that I only have to smile even more. A light and friendly vanilla emerges which slowly but surely displaces the cinnamon. After quite a while Patchouli flashes through again and again, not violently, not unpleasantly, but it gives the fragrance that certain something for me. But on this day I am too busy with the scent, "smell too much", which I get a headache at the end. Worried, I wonder if I can't stand the scent, and will try again later.
Yesterday I sprayed myself with it, elbow and hairline, and let the scent unfold in peace without me always wanting to sniff at myself.
This fragrance is simply a dream, it envelops me, it is soft and positive. I don't smell the cinnamon anymore, but the vanilla is in perfect harmony with the heliotrope and the orange blossom. A feeling of lightheartedness surrounds me, of lightness. Yet Grain de Soleil is a bomb of Sillage and durability. It lasts 10 hours easily, and in the clothes it lasts even longer. That's why you don't need much of it. A beautiful, comforting companion on rather dreary days. And with the sun he shines for a race, but please not on too hot days, I would not tolerate that after all. "Grain de Soleil - seed of the sun" OH, sweet delight...YOU stay, YOU suit me (and my pigtails...)
Dearest Parfuma, you have given me an incredible pleasure. Not only with the fragrance I've wished for so long, but with this wonderful gesture. You have given a wonderful gift to me, a person completely unknown to you, you have planted a small seed of the sun in my heart, and there I let it grow. And every time I use the fragrance now, I think of you and say THANK YOU......!!!
