Cheerful peace in clear air
Eau de Gentiane Blanche conquers me from the first spraying on. As a fresh green ethereal spicy fine spirit he introduces himself to me, with slight herbaceousness shortly after the beginning, which does not scratch, but is very charming, even if it may seem a little strange to some noses at first, and which is accompanied by a fine floral note. Completely carefree. Good-humoured, rather quiet, friendly, natural. Silvery-soft smoke. The impression of a discreetly sweet-spicy, dry-woody tone, which becomes clearer later, also resonates very slightly. This lingers the longest and most prominent and gives the fragrance some depth. With all his straightforwardness, simplicity and honesty, he also develops a natural elegance.
After an almost orchestral opening, in which all facets seem to show themselves at once, the brighter notes retreat a little and the fragrance becomes darker green and more herbaceous. But as I said, everything remains within a charming framework. A fresh breeze will create a small swell on this alpine lake, and with the next wave more flowery nuances will be washed up, giving the Eau de Gentiane Blanche a brighter appearance again. This wave play repeats itself in ever new combinations, until the said fine-spicy-brown (brown-green) impressions towards the end.
I consider him to be versatile, both in his facets as well as with regard to his wearing possibilities. However, many a potential carrier could decide against EdGB because of its relative short lifespan. - The Sillage, which is rather moderate even at its weddings, retreats to me already after about 45 minutes close to my skin, but with occasional Wiffs, like small solar flares (or somewhat higher waves to stay with the water picture from above).
But in the following remaining four hours or so, towards the end of which the palette of perception shifts towards a somewhat coarser-grained, smokier spiciness on my skin, I have to bring the nose and the spray surface very close together in order to get the small olfactory sensations. After all, I was positively surprised: The fast retreat would have made me assume a shorter durability (it was really short with me at the Nile Garden!).
Conclusion: A cheerful, bright peace flows through me while wearing this fragrance. For me a wonderful, modest gem with a successful balance and interesting, beautifully interwoven facets!
Many thanks to the sample donor for her inspiration and good deed!
Side note: On paper: similar, but not so good. Slightly sour. Could be problematic with some skin. Spicy-woody depth doesn't develop so pronounced here (actually hardly).
Another side note: When I speak of wood notes, I am not saying that wood extracts were used here, but that they are impressions of the scent in my nose, which I cannot describe any other way. By the way, this applies to most of me so-called 'notes' and 'tones'
