Purple Gingerbread Leprechaun
Vivacious, which means "full of life, upbeat, fun-loving". So the fragrance should awaken fun and joy and / or express. Well. Vivacious is a violet fragrance .And if the scent of this small purple-blue flower something normally does not radiate , then that is pure joie de vivre.
Enchantingly beautiful they smell admittedly, the small violets. However, their fragrance is always a certain melancholy, coolness and darkness. The other fragrance aspect of the violet in the perfume is the very delicate, silvery-cool-sweet, girlish violet powder. The little flower rarely smiles in olfactory terms, in fact sometimes looks directly venomous ! For a long time, I've tended to avoid this little flower, as far as perfume is concerned. But now that I've spontaneously christened myself "Violet" on "Parfumo" for lack of a better idea, it's only right to get to grips with my new namesakes a little more intensively. Even if they are a bit difficult.
So how has Hiram Green, the perfumer with Canadian roots, it for unknown reasons in the Dutch Gouda (otherwise rather known for cheese ;-)) has taken up the challenge to give the purple problem child positive charisma ? He gives him spicy reinforcement from the garden, in the form of clove. This smells, however, as if it came directly from the Moluccas ( Spice Islands) .Will mean, this garden carnation smells quite clearly like a clove. I smell this one pretty strong at first. Together with a good shot of bergamot, it's almost a bit penetrating at the beginning. But soon it unfolds with its unmistakably enchanting, serious, aromatic, gingerbread-spiced aroma. Et Voilà ! While violet usually tends to spoil the scent mood, here it stays artful, taking away the severity of the carnation and giving it more florality and depth. Ultimately, this melange creates a new floral scent that I haven't smelled like this before. Extremely cheerful it is not. (But it's fine.;-)). Rather pleasant, serious, spicy. And he has something radiant .
The scent plays on a slightly sweet velvety base. Not the usual powdered sugar amber, thank you Mr.Green ! It smells of amber and a bit of honey, possibly vanilla too.
All muted, pleasantly warm, full and soft. So similar I already know it from Voyage, another perfume by Hiram Green (now discontinued )
A special, idiosyncratic, original fragrance. It is warming and radiant, yet has depth. From the Sillage her it is very moderate and on the skin still very long, (after about 8 hours still) perceptible.
Despite all the positive things that can be said about Vivacious, I am missing something. I know, I behave here perhaps like the famous" national coach on the couch ", but I have the feeling, would be this perfume still a little tick more sophisticated, it could have been in my nose a much more magnificent, really noble fragrance. As it is, it feels somewhere between "rough-hewn, simple and natural" and "radiant and classy". As an image, perhaps a compartment of the Trans-Siberian railway fits for me. Old-fashioned, perhaps a little kitschy, nobly decorated, partly painted gold. But no matter how chic it looks, it remains a train journey with the corresponding discomforts, but also the adventure that a journey brings.
So,after I digress now already to Siberia, is now but also really good ! my personal conclusion : A violet does it good if you spice it. For in this fragrance at least, I like the purple namesake leprechaun times quite gladly.
