Raspberry Meringue
After "Lipstick Rose" now "French Kiss": that's a fine kissing here!
But why "French Kiss"?
Are French kisses really so much different (or maybe even better) than, say, Italian kisses?
Well, let's leave national pride to the House of Guerlain; after all, Napoleon crowned himself. Let's believe that they are better! (The kisses, not the French in general!)
And it is undeniable: the Guerlain DNA is also immediately recognizable in "Les Elixirs Charnels - French Kiss"!
On this, as yet undeciphered basis, the aroma of beautiful ripe raspberries spreads. They exude the unmistakable scent of the sun-drenched summer; a magical melange is created.
Litchi stops by before the velvety abundance of roses and violets - wonderfully velvety and fragrant - rises in full splendour and puts a cloak of fine lace over everything.
"French Kiss" becomes physical already here: it is the well-formed body of a sensual woman!
A woman who radiates warmth and thus gets a suitable companion with dark violet, vanilla-scented heliotrope.
But of course Aphrodite, the goddess of creamy white and creamy vanilla, is not long in coming. With waving veils of scent she enters the fragrance stage Together with cleverly dosed white musk it makes clear:
"Heliotrope - that's all well and good: but it's just a door opener for me! The true queen is me!"
That's probably true; Iris nods wisely and powders a little to complete the picture.
"Les Elixirs Charnels - French Kiss" is an enchanting fragrance for women, which is all in pink and white: "Meringue Framboise" could be the name of the creation in the patisserie.
Oh, how interesting I found these white sprayed meringue hoods, which were always on top of the display case at the baker's when I was a child.
My mother warned me; they were dry and had no taste at all.
I didn't want to believe it until one day I bought one of these meringue shells and had to admit completely dusty: it's true! It looks more tempting than it is!
Maybe it's just as well that meringue mass always becomes a little tough (rubbery); confectioners complain about the many sugars in it, which make the mass creamy.
But so sticky and white, slightly browned and over ripe, sensual fruity raspberries - oh, there's something very special about it!
This is what Guerlain's "French Kiss" reminds me of: the summery pleasure of a bowl of raspberries with a lightly tanned meringue!
Uij, I hope I didn't offend "Frech Kiss" now!
