"Going to Shower....."
I don't know if this is still the custom today, but in my youth there were countless, rather stupid variations of the Beatles classic "Yesterday". So my life partner also invented one and always liked to recite it to me when I had just come from the riding stable. "Go take a shower, I finally have to go take a shower again, I come home and I stink of horse..." he sang, and then I knew, okay, I really shouldn't necessarily stay like that, he doesn't like that.
The fact is, the stable, in which I went during my study 1x per week to the riding hour and rode school horses, was also not the Allersaubererste. Keyword mattress manure. Only the visible excrement of the proud animals is removed. Everything else remains inside. This saves litter and keeps you nice and warm in winter. And exactly this smell remained just also in my clothes and in my hair and I brought him home weekly, so - go shower.
With Under My Skin unfolds after a first medical start, which initially makes me think of hospitals and dental offices, exactly this smell. Acrid ammonia mixed with the natural smell of a horse. Without this ammonia-like note, where I can only speculate which ingredient causes it, we would have a subtle, relatively authentic smell of a horse stable. And this one lingers as well. With the animalics of musk, castoreum and ambergris used here, I'm not with humans at all, but clearly with animals. This is how warm horse fur smells. Many other reviewers had already mentioned the typical Bianchi fur note. In Under My Skin it is appropriately pronounced and for my nose even very pleasant, once the first surge of the mattress has evaporated.
I can only guess the numerous flowers used here. Iris butter I still let pass. I can perceive. But what connects the fragrance for me also clearly with the riding stable and just not the human togetherness, are the base notes, which provide a fine and warm sweetness here. Especially vanilla, tonka and tolu balsam make me once again think of leather care oil or grease, which is also used abundantly in riding stables. The pronounced beeswax note as in Mane is missing here, but it is enough for the association of saddle care. A bit reminds me this fine-sweet stock also of the lip balm of Weleda, if anyone knows.
Yeah, I admit it. I kind of like what I perceive here. Even though it would be unthinkable for me to perfume myself with a scent like Under My Skin. Unless maybe I want to intentionally annoy my partner so he'll go back to singing "take a shower....."
Many thanks to my dear Basti for the sample. A Verriss it has unfortunately not become, but I hope you still enjoyed reading.
