The Duration of a Flight
Similar to its initially cryptic name (I wouldn't have come up with the flight number thing on my own, see statements), the scent behaves personally as well. There’s a lot going on, but often only hinted at or somehow "half".
A bergamot scratch quickly leads to a hint of violet-leather. The latter swiftly gives way to a strangely diffuse fruit medley. I suppose apricot plays along; dried. Peach and osmanthus supposedly go in a similar direction, which fits. However, everything feels rather dosed-unified. In contrast, soon bitter-resinous needles and relatives bring joy: fir, thuja, cypress, whatever. Freshly cut and chopped. Unfortunately, it’s a rather meager portion.
The highlight from my perspective is a now seemingly rather castoreum-derived, subtle leather note, which wants to mix characteristically with the herbaceous resin in an encouraging way. The latter is coy and prefers to flirt with the canned fruit instead. Poor decision.
By noon, I believe the event is ultimately dominated by general fruit; the now only whispering needles have little to counter it. There’s also a creamy-floral note, fragrant and quite close to the skin. What I believe I know about ylang could come into play at this moment. It has surprisingly become "ladylike," one could say. An impression that undoubtedly goes to the credit of the fruit - various "fruity-florals" bring such universal fruit into play.
Only in the course of the afternoon, and solely directly on the skin, can I discover more needles and resin again. However, this is a relative revival, as overall our already quite quiet journey is coming to an end. This may not be a coincidence: a flight from Montreal to Paris lasts about seven hours.
Conclusion: I cannot discern a line in the composition. It’s a pity, of course, I would have liked to finish my Monsillage test series (many thanks to Kovex!) with a great finale. Although that didn’t happen, I did get to know some very successful creations along the way. Some I liked less, but a healthy mix in this regard ultimately speaks for and not against a brand.
