very special summer retreat in transit
In these midsummer temperatures, "Moroccan tea" - green tea with mint - is my daily companion. At least one filling of the 1.5 liter teapot ends up in me every day.
Who knows me tea lover, also knows that I am interested in unusual fragrances on tea basis.
So of course "Teazzurra" from the Aqua Allegoria series by Guerlain came under my nose.
First of all, I constantly read "Terrazzo", instead of "Teazzurro".
It also turns out that this "Freudian slip" isn't all that far-fetched: "terrazzo tiles" are floor tiles that have been made into decorative floors by artistically adding colorful components since ancient times; as opposed to grown, ground, and polished tiles.
A very small bit artificial also seems to me "Teazzura".
The slightly bitter prelude is certainly due to grapefruit and yuzu.
I also had to first read up on what yuzu is and what you can / should expect from this fruit.
As bitter-tart it is described; so it fits well with the slightly bitter grapefruit and forms a clever transition to the acidity of the lemon.
Bergamot completes this fresh-summer, a little cool welcome.
The aromatic green tea, it has drawn a touch too long, adapts well to this fruity overture. So far, all aromatics fit very well together.
Jasmine may actually almost never be missing in green tea: here too, this always very welcome white flower sets very fragrant accents.
The violet does its part to round off this floral note.
(Why do I just think of violet pastilles again?)
A warm vanilla sound and a proper musk note complete this symphony of fragrances.
Have me head and heart note in the interplay very well liked, so alienates me this base again.
Musk and vanilla just do not fit for me to these citrus fragrances.
I stumbled over this combination more than once.
Actually, I was hoping that Guerlain would find a solution here that didn't remind me of crinkly cream.
I'm afraid this citrus-vanilla-moshu fragrance composition and I will no longer become "Best Buddies".
And I have now learned that it is probably better to avoid this partnership.
That's my personal assessment.
"Teazzurra" is now really not a bad fragrance; it is fresh and cool and certainly an ideal companion if you like these fragrance arrangements.
The duration of the shelf life shares "Teazzurra" with many other summer fragrances.
Guerlain can also not change anything: a more frequent Nachsprühen is recommended; can be with top and heart notes with their skillful melange even very welcome.
I'm sure "Teazzurra" finds a lot of friends and we me in the row of those do not miss.
My neighbor likes everything that is citrusy and fresh and there is also a very great affinity for musk-vanilla bases with her. Not always to my enthusiasm, as I already mentioned here from time to time.
So this bottling of "Teazzurra" ends up with her and will certainly meet with more sympathy there than with me.
That's good and right so!
Friendships you can not force, as we all know, and mere sympathy is with the multitude of fragrances surrounding us a bit little to live with each other.
So, no hard feelings and "Bon voyage, Teazzurra"!
