Never After Midnight!
I had to have "her," absolutely! As a decant, of course! "Amelia by Grossmith." And since I only had time and peace after midnight, I thought this floral scent would be just right for a first test before going to bed and could serve as a nightcap afterward. Although I read about my candidate for disgust: Jasmine. Scents with it I can only try in the morning at least for testing. However, there are less animalistic and finer to very lovely jasmine variants. That’s what I actually assumed with this sinfully expensive fragrance for me.
But now "Amelia": She launched right away with fat, carrion-like jasmine that escalated into something fecal within seconds. I was horrified and immensely disappointed. Fortunately, the sillage was not very strong.
Since I still owed someone an email, I took care of that. And behold: The scent became softer, the stench completely receded, "Amelia" became gentler, the peony raised its beautifully rosy and slightly tea-scented bloom. In addition, I smelled a delicate green-white rose.
Furthermore, it remained a delicate, fine green and rather quiet scent. With that, I could go to bed. This lightly restrained fragrance blend stayed that way and was also perceivable in nearly the same quiet intensity in the morning.
The next morning, in cool weather, I did the second test.
It was as I suspected. The jasmine was very bearable, and within a short time, the scent was as delicately floral as it had been at night. But now it seemed to me that it resembled Samsara.
I tried this on the other wrist. The similarity is there for me. However, Samsara is more opulent, more expressive. For me, Samsara is also only to be used as a morning scent.
I kept comparing "Amelia" with the presented fragrance components and sniffing.
I suspect that the musk scent pushes jasmine at the beginning. However, I miss osmanthus. Perhaps it just enriches the jasmine with even more animalistic notes. Neroli? Nothing hesperidic, nowhere, and not as a start for me. Although neroli has nothing cologne-citrusy about it, at least not for me.
And where are sandalwood and vetiver? The scent remains floral and delicate. Consistently, as it unfolded after the jasmine attack, it holds for many hours until the end. Perhaps the woods have gone into coalition for the peonies and the rose?
After about 2 hours, Samsara diverges from Amelia, Samsara then releases the unlisted tuberose and becomes vanillic, powdery.
Amelia, on the other hand, remains a beautiful, gentle scent that does not at least partially transform into something powdery or creamy.
That the scent only presents flowers is perfectly fine for me, who likes floral scents.
Maybe I am just not "ripe" enough for such exclusive fragrances?
Unfortunately, I cannot manage to push the price out of my evaluation.
I still don't really understand "Amelia."
