A woman you would die with

The scent of a woman you would die with
Even if she dies first, you will fight to be buried with her

I got myself a Hypnotic Poison by Dior a few years back and I could only get my hands on the EDT back then from where I'm from. I loved the scent so much but it was lacking in more ways than one, and a friend fell in love with it when she smelled it on me so I sold it to her bc the projection was weak.

I didn't expect much reading from the notes, but when I first sniffed it on my skin... My brain switched off and it felt like for the first time in years, I was in a complete relaxed state. This was everything I wished Hypnotic Poison was when I first got it back then and the projection and longevity is so strong that I woke up the next morning still smelling it on my clothes and it created this heavenly bubble around me.

I'm not saying this is a dupe at all, but this is by far the best take on tuberose I've sniffed.

Ibiza nights…

This smells like glitz and glam. A glamorous, lighthearted high energy spirited night out. It’s fresh and luxurious and heady and uplifting, a little bubble gummy sweet but not too sweet. Dry down is a warm woody vanilla amber. It’s slightly salty, like sun kissed skin while dancing in the breezy balmy night air. This is a powerhouse on me, projects and is a strong and long lasting performer.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing…

I must slowly come to realize that the Gritti brand is not for me. So far, no hits. Many are boring, pleasing, and many have poor longevity, with a few exceptions that I also didn't like because they were too masculine for me, etc. However, I find the bottles extraordinarily appealing. Many scents bear too much resemblance to cheap designer perfumes, which even have better longevity. This is also the case with Because I'm Free ..

The scent has an extremely strong resemblance to L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge in the opening, which I would even prefer if it were in my direction, which it is not. The fragrance is a mix of super sweet fruits and a bubblegum tuberose. Very girly and super mainstream, which doesn't have to be bad, but for the price, you might as well go to the "green" store and get "L'Interdit (Eau de Parfum Rouge) | Givenchy," which has great longevity and is much cheaper. The difference between the two scents is really minimal and only exists in the deep drydown. In the drydown, the Gritti becomes bitter/sour and has a hint of green from the banana blossom, then changes character and becomes a bit burning/stinging, which I don't like very much. So, as always, a scent from the brand that is absolutely nothing for me..

Feeling your lips among evening primroses

We sit among hundreds of evening primroses. It is a warm summer night and I lean against you.
“Look, the fireflies!” you whisper. Smiling, I stretch out my fingers, the wings tickling my skin. The insect buzzes and flickers and flickers and buzzes and disappears into the grass.
The large yellow flowers glow like stars in the orange light of our lantern.
You hand me the bag of roasted almonds. I pop one between my lips. It melts sweetly on my tongue.
I watch you from the side. How wonderful you are. The curve of your nose, your jawline, your deep black eyelashes. “I wonder if you taste as sweet as the candied almonds?” I murmur, not expecting you to hear it.
But you turn your head to me and twist your mouth into a grin. “Try it out.”
And then you kiss me. Your soft lips part against mine. Your tongue tip nudges against my tongue tip. You are incredibly sweet. You taste like almonds, yes, but you also taste like this warm summer night, among the evening primroses. You taste like stardust, fireflies, and a promise. You taste like home. And you taste like you.

.
The scent smells to me like a rounded blend of tonka, jasmine, and fruits (peach? Light plum?). Initially fresher and later a bit creamier. Caramel and almonds are also present, without the fragrance losing its lightness. What I find most astonishing is the extreme longevity. Even after showering with shampoo, my hair still smells of this Gritti fragrance! Wonderful.
And even over the long duration, the scent remains very consistent. There are a few shifts in what I perceive; as mentioned, the fragrance becomes more vanilla-like and creamier without losing depth. All in all, the scent experience remains relatively constant: a totally reliable fragrance!
