Hmmphrhmm! ... Horatio Hornblower's fever-reducing South Sea elixir..
The name of this noble perfume brought to mind the colorful historical spectacle about the equally fictional and swashbuckling English naval officer Horatio Hornblower, alias Gregory Peck. This thrilling cruising monumental flick from 1951, with its genre-standard sailing ship pile-ups, saber fights and the hero's melodramatic sailor love affair with a certain Lady Barbara Wellesley, niece of the Duke of Wellington, once provided perfect entertainment and thrilling wave action. But "The King's Admiral" and the wonderfully successful fragrance creation by Didier Gaglewski from the French fragrance capital of Grasse, offer little in common at first glance apart from the blue uniform.
"L'Amiral" is a soothingly fresh little water in an elegantly slim bottle. A fragrance for the season with rising temperatures, which awaken in man and woman the thought to look for lighter fragrances. That's when aquatic perfumes like this are in season. Right after the invigorating essences of bergamot and mandarin, it is the menthol-lavender mix that feels like pleasantly cooling and immediately surrounds you with the most beautiful Mediterranean mood. Light, gentle, noble, bright and pleasing, a warm base of sandalwood underlines the fine character of this grandiose unisex perfume, which unfolds at first slightly projecting, then soon close to the body over many hours of the day very stylish.
Hmmphrhmm, ... what can I say? The intrepid captain had fatally a soft heart and melted in the face of unheard-of beauty of Lady Barbara, who for her part had long since agreed to embark on a joint journey to the stars out of gratitude for the equally self-sacrificing and selfless care of the officer of equal profile. One detail, however, should not escape the attentive observer of the Samaritan scene - on the bedside table of her fantasizing ladyship - the only effective remedy against swamp fever: a soothing little water in an elegantly slim flacon!
