What can one possibly write after the meaningful statement: “animalistic rose on a petroleum-soaked leather rag”?
Well, I have condensed the always worth-reading text on “Pétroleum” by Meggi into just a few words, but she actually says it all.
But Meggi, my dear friend: You are a genius with words and yet quite sneaky at the same time!
You send me samples, knowing that I will test them and have my opinion on them.
But you not only set up hurdles beforehand, but also barricades: How am I supposed to overcome these?
It is pointless to want to stink against you, whether with animalistic roses or oil-soaked leather rags, and therefore I accept the challenge in my own, feminine way.
Is the sample now tipped over or is it supposed to be like this?
I first smell horse stable, instead of the expected pit lane of Formula 1.
However, the blooming rose vine and the slightly overripe citrus fruits near the manure pile fit much better; they create a very interesting, yet rarely encountered harmony.
No reason to get excited: Give it time! It smells better than it might read!
It could stay like this, but now the aforementioned leather rag comes into play, in which the little stinky creature has probably rolled around comfortably several times.
And of course, it was already in the rich dark brown patchouli mud and the white fluffy musk foam: Little hairy connoisseur!
Thus, this little guy is covered in a very own odor and initially leaves a strong scent impression until a wonderful, almost luxuriously rich amber nuance integrates, almost as a keystone into this complex fragrance vault.
As mentioned: One must give “Pétroleum” time to unfold all its challenging scent facets.
But it is worth it!
Anyone who is put off by the fragrance notes mentioned in the pyramid or the opening is missing out on a fascinating fragrance experience.
The question of how wearable “Pétroleum” is as a scent does not arise for me as a fish-blooded older blonde. But I honestly enjoy wrapping myself in this fragrance composition, like in a soft warm blanket.
“Pétroleum” intrigues me and makes me curious about much extraordinary that is still to be discovered in our fragrance world.
In any case, the house “Histoires de Parfums” has added an interesting fragrance component to its “Édtion Rare.”
One of the many interesting scents from this house. I really liked it, but I've smelled similar ones too often for it to lead to a purchase. Beautifully described by you!
I'm usually more hot-blooded, used to have dark hair, but I'm also older now ;-) I don't think this scent would suit me that well. I'll leave it to the more experienced fragrance lovers here. Although your description is definitely tempting.
Yes, yes! Your rose allergy: I know! 🙈
If you check with Meggi, you'll find the roses there too; it's not just a purely feminine feeling.
Still, thank you so much for reading again!

Such a vivid description! Always a pleasure to read.
Now it should be complete, though.
