A chant for the Maikäfer
It is summer. The air smells of flowers and blossoms, and at temperatures over 30 degrees, 4ajbukoshka meets her friends in a floor-length yet summery backless dress.
Freedom is within reach; you can not only hear and see it around you but also feel it and - in the form of ice cream - almost taste it.
The girls are carefree in a kind of hipster beer garden, ringing in the weekend with lemonade and boisterous laughter. It could be like this every day!
4ajbukoshka has now been wearing her new perfume for the second day in a row. Has anyone noticed? Njain.
The girls accept it without comment, while the similarly perceived green malachite has repeatedly caused (and will likely continue to cause) Jozha (affectionately called “Igelin”) to hold her sweet little nose in the air and ask what smells so sweetly of coconut, and then she literally sticks to 4ajbukoshka.
However, the May beetles seem to have a preference for nymphs, because although three young ladies are sitting at the table, they only fly into 4ajbukoshka’s hair (and get tangled there), on her back, into her dress, and everywhere else.
Does it look ridiculous how 4ajbukoshka, after jumping up from the table in a panic, hops through the beer garden whimpering, hoping to shake off her new fans? Very likely. She doesn’t know what’s chasing her until a waitress can calm her down, and she was afraid of being stung.
Conclusion: Was it worth it? No.
“A Chant for the Nymph” is really beautiful, no question.
It is un-sticky-sweet, floral-elegant, and quiet, with a barely noticeable projection (unless you hold your nose really close to the spray point, then you might feel overwhelmed, and it almost smells of white flowers).
In my hair, it amusingly smells woodier and a bit more bitter.
There’s nothing to complain about regarding longevity; it’s in the upper range (>= 7h).
However, it occasionally reminds me of “Vert Malachite” and... loses this battle decisively, as it lacks projection, a bit more development (or even more vanilla) would be interesting, and... it is not inspiring. Neither to sing nor to write a witty review. At most, to perform an anti-May beetle chase dance.
If it weren’t for the price, this would be a scent for the office, for weekdays, for non-special occasions like shopping, taking a Sunday stroll. Or something like that.
