Tuberose to geranium

Floral Veil may be a floral composition in the traditional sense but it still manages to surprise. This not so much a result of amazing quality materials, but due to the clever contrast between two main floral notes throughout the scent's evolution.

The fragrance opens with a well-behaved tuberose covered in citrus and greens. This green-fresh prelude made me expect a daytime scent, business-safe but uplifting, not all too serious. In a matter of minutes, however, the geranium takes over from the tuberose as primary floral note and the mood shifts from daytime to evening wear. The geranium's minty and spicy facets, the fuzzy amber-musky base and bits of that remaining tuberose combined give off a classic 90's dress-up vibe. I suspect a soft patchouli plays a role in this as well. It is not a full-on evening wear, though, as the sillage is medium-low from the start and stays well-restraint.

What I like about this perfume is how it is positioned between daytime and evening wear. Semi-formal with an uplifting spring-fresh side. Creativity in a setting of traditional perfumery is hard to find these days. Floral Veil shows it still exists.

Evening Mood

I experience tuberoses either like the trumpets of Jericho, blowing away all other fragrance notes, filling the space and often even overwhelming, or, when the bloom is used subtly, as a quiet and often slightly melancholic smile, excellently translated into olfactory beauty. It is astonishing how the character of a fragrance note changes when you play with the dosage.

Here, I encounter the muted version, and I almost see myself transported into a scene that could also fit L`Heure bleue. Diffused twilight that blurs outlines, sounds, preferably in minor, that drift away in a light breeze, colors that shift from deep dark petrol to emerald to delicate mint. This is wonderful and radiates a healing calm. I cannot imagine this scent in the morning on the way to work or for a lively party. Floral Veil creates a dreamy atmosphere for the winding down of a day, content if it has been a good day but also conciliatory should it not be so.

To prevent green notes from becoming banal and to use white florals in a way that they do not come across as heavy or even cloying, but rather elegant and with refined restraint, is for me an example of true perfumer's art, and I regret that only the fragrance company Robertet is credited as the perfumer, while the unknown magician who created the perfume remains a mystery. The scent also fades away appropriately softly, and I find it particularly pleasant that the base does not, as is often the case, attempt to open a new chapter and change the character of the fragrance once again. I like scents that stay on topic, and this is refreshingly the case with Floral Veil.

When it comes to fragrances from Grossmith, I think twice before acquiring them. I would first have to save up for them, and I believe I am not alone in this. They also do not chase any of the current trends, and I can imagine that some fragrance lovers might even find them a bit too uninteresting to dig deep into their savings. This is also reflected here, as not only is the "I-have" and "wish" list remarkably short, but the manageable note list also speaks a clear language. I find that unfortunate and think that for lovers of both genders who appreciate rather serious floral perfumes, a test should definitely be worthwhile.

In any case, I will celebrate my sample with enjoyment, and who knows....

simply beautiful...

I can't think of anything else for this fine floral scent. Usually never at a loss for silly remarks, I can't come up with anything silly here.
After receiving the 3 Black Labels from Grossmith today (since I got them for half the usual price, I ordered all three) and decision-making is not really my strength. AND; each of the fragrances is wonderful in its own way!
But Floral Veil really surprised me positively. Actually, it was more of my shaky candidate. And now it has risen.
Upon the first spray, the citrus accord comes through, but only for a short time, then beautiful floral accords emerge with a warm background from the musk and amber that counteracts the initial cooler and fresher opening.
It is by no means old-fashioned and conservative, as some of the Grossmiths claim.
A contemporary feminine scent, ideal for the woman of today.

It doesn't come in with a bang, but rather with a fine; Hello, here I am.
