Golden Candlelight
Today would have been my dear mother's birthday, and I would have gifted her a fragrance and flowers.
I hoped to meet her in a dream, but sleep wouldn't come.

But I had the idea to still give her gifts of love.

Her photo in her favorite spot, beautiful lush gerberas in the vase, and soft candlelight.

Emotionally, I found the perfect fragrance for the occasion and the ambiance, as Lumiere fits the golden candlelight.

It frames the festive atmosphere without being intrusive.
Subtly spicy and almost aquatic, it wafts through the room and gently emphasizes the presence of the main person.

Soft and warm like Mama's presence.

It conveys closeness and distance at will - at the moment, almost tangible closeness.

And wonderfully, her sister has come to her today - who also fills and enriches this special mood with her aura.

They are not gone - they just change rooms... they are within us ...and walk through our dreams.

Yes, how does it actually smell?
Actually, I had quite a bit of hope that I might like this fragrance. I often enjoy scents that don't receive general approval.

And the first time it was like that too. To my nose, it was sweet-orange warm and resinous, which is certainly an unusual combination. I was also reminded of Donna Karan's Gold, which I like to smell from time to time, even though it's quite strange, and also of No. 4 by Jil Sander, but fortunately without civet.

The second time, unexpectedly, really bitter notes came towards me, as they might be listed as a narcissus scent, like in Chloe or Penhaligon's Ostara. If I hadn't had a different experience with it before, and if it didn't sail under the flag of the Oriental, I might have liked it quite a bit. But as it is, even without hints of toilet spray or bitter almond, I unfortunately can't contribute much to its defense.

To evaluate it, I would need to test the fragrance at least once more, as different as it seemed to me. However, I would prefer to forgo that.

10.0 ???
Not everyone can smell good to everyone. But here .... my nose simply refuses. For me, at most a 5 on a school grading scale. I will never rely on reviews again. Always smell it yourself first and then buy. First comes a scent as if you have bitten into a bitter almond, overlaid by the fragrance of a "toilet flower," scent direction apple, and then everything is overshadowed by stale honey. Eww.
