Après L'Ondée Guerlain 1906 Eau de Toilette

A few years ago I bought this fragrance blind. I had then found another fragrance that has touched me strongly and unfortunately did not hold on my skin. At that time still inexperienced I thought it was the iris that touched me so, today I know it was probably more a lilac note. I found Apres L'ondee and the description, also the note of melancholy caught me immediately, plus the fact that it was "created" in 1906. I am a very nostalgic person...I was expecting something completely different, was so excited because I thought finally I will find what I am so eagerly looking for. and then the disappointment when I got the fragrance. It smelled completely different than I expected. It didn't bring that feeling. But the scent triggered an oppression in me, sadness. Or it just opens my heart where the sadness is hidden anyway? I couldn't wear it well. I think I'm looking for more of a comforting scent that embraces the sadness as well. ...a soft non-perfumed scent is what I remember. I think a scent that is not just about smelling good...a scent that perceives the soul of the wearer. A scent actually projecting inward not outward. Even the name touches me somehow. Who knows how I would like it today
