A Poem?
The bottle is a poem,
but the scent...it is not.
Yet it has something beautiful....
Perhaps now is not the right time to test it, as I am currently mostly testing and/or wearing gourmand and/or spicy, warm intense scents, usually unisex fragrances.
At first, it comes across as quite fresh-floral-pure to me. Later, I would like it to be a bit sweeter, softer, because it then seems slightly austere. It smells to me like fragrant laundry detergent, a clean scent. Some might perceive it as freshly showered, but on my skin, it doesn’t develop as beautifully as expected. Or I would say it loses some of its beauty during the drydown. But the drydown lasts only a very short time, then it has already disappeared for my nose. It smells best on me when freshly sprayed.
I have experienced the following phenomenon with some of the fragrances I have tested: I apply only one scent to my wrists, occasionally sniff my skin, and find this scent not so great or not so intense anymore. However, when I move (e.g., outside), beautiful waves of scent come to me again and again. And I feel good about it...I am pleased. Perhaps it is similar with this one. I suspect that this scent really comes into its own in the sillage, so that others around us perceive it as truly beautiful.
Otherwise, it is a scent suitable for really any occasion and can be worn all year round, depending on preference.
However, I find that it is not really unique, so it will probably remain just a sample, because when it comes to uniqueness, I am used to much better from Guerlain, even if this scent surely does not offend anyone. But I want more, namely to smell beautiful (especially for myself, but also for those around me) and not just to avoid bothering anyone. Then I could also go through life unscented. On my skin, it lasts quite briefly, then it is gone and I cannot report any development. But in spring, I will continue to test it. And then it will show whether this statement remains:

But I sprayed it in the bathroom recently, and it has sillage and longevity - I just perceive it on my skin the same way you do...
That's strange.
