My dear colleague recently came around the corner with a box.
You like perfume, right? I have a few bottles here that I bought over time and some of them I never used. Take a look! Otherwise, I will throw everything away!
So I did, and took the box home. There was quite a variety inside.
Among other things, there were perfumes that had turned and were in not-so-nice colors in the bottle, that just by a quick sniff at the spray head almost made me lose my hearing and sight. I bravely tested some, but the maggot note lingered stubbornly. Sorted out.
And there was also a half-full bottle from Boss with XX. Doesn't ring a bell for me.
Boss XX EdP starts off really nicely summery fruity and puts me in a good mood! A lovely mandarin and lychee, I wouldn't have picked out the blackcurrant so easily. Unfortunately, the top note doesn't last as long as I would like, because I find the fruits to be zesty and summery, but by no means too intrusive.
Once the scent settles, a mild rose and such an incredibly beautiful creamy note come to the surface, a little dream. Although I am always a bit cautious with jasmine, everything blends wonderfully together, nothing is intrusive or too much.
I perceive this subtly fruity-floral scent for several hours, even though the fragrance settles relatively quickly and doesn't have a very strong sillage. But that doesn't matter at all. Especially when it's warmer outside, you can wear the scent without being over-perfumed.
In the soft, purring base, a rather sweet amber and a restrained musk dominate, yet the fine rose and the creaminess remain subtly in the background. Very fine!
Throw away?? Seriously?!
This one stays with me, I really enjoy wearing it. I removed the layer of dust and uncovered a little treasure.
A sensual feminine aura surrounds the scent, I believe it is no longer produced as EdP.
Which is really a shame, because it always hits the mark, I am already looking forward to wearing it in the fall.
Then I will have a very nice summer memory of a bottle that I saved from the trash can!
My daughter has snatched up two other rather sweet scents, and I found another Burberry that we fought over. I won, she already has the girly scents :-)
