Musk Laundry Powder
One, two, three, mine! Sprayed on, amazed, in love, looked for the catch, found none, still blissfully in love :-)
Geste is finally a fragrance that can truly be described as a fresh laundry scent or a laundry powder scent. Beautiful! Yet it doesn’t smell like a laundry powder from the package, but rather like the freshly washed garment you’re wearing, and whose scent evaporates through your own body heat. This makes it wonderfully cozy. The musk in this fragrance is simply divine - so skillfully used. Everything that Encre Noire by Lalique lacks is present in Geste - a white scent in a dark, warming fur.
It is clearly a scent of understatement, a fragrance to feel comfortable in your own skin, as intimate as the body heat of a partner. The image used to promote Geste initially puzzled me. A mature woman in a strict white shirt with a young lover. Now I begin to understand. This fragrance contains opposites that meet in the middle, making it so fascinating: body heat, sensuality, pleasure in the body, and gentle strictness, laundry powder, clean and straight.
A subtle scent for women who don’t need to stand out, a subtle scent for women who are at peace with themselves.....beautiful!

..."But it doesn't smell like laundry detergent from the package; it smells like the freshly washed garment you're wearing, with its scent evaporating through your body heat."... - I feel exactly the same about this fragrance! And that makes it so unique!

Congratulations! We're quite the opposite in that regard: I love Encre Noire, you love Geste - so there's enough for everyone and everything is fairly distributed ;-)
