Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau Guerlain 2012

This wonderful scent is a dream. Fluffy, powdery, delicate... - almost my signature.
However, only in spring.
In summer? Way too overwhelming.
In autumn? Please not! Way too sour.
In winter? Way too delicate.

I don't know. But on me, it only works in spring. The perfect symbiosis between the first gentle rays of sunshine and cautiously budding flowers. Then Shalimar Initital L'Eau (I have the enchanting version "Si Sensuelle," but there shouldn't be any difference) transforms into fine, pink strands of sugar that wrap around my body and lightly powder it. Really, simply perfect. People sit near me in public spaces, even though there are so many free spots elsewhere when I wear the scent. Not that I would be off-putting, but in Germany, voluntary physical closeness is rather atypical. The perfume simply has an alluring effect. And to ensure that the fine fluffiness isn't TOO round and thus boring, I even think I smell a slight animalic note.

Why, why only in spring? In other weather, I can tolerate it less. But maybe that's a good thing: Then every wearing remains something special.
