The Innocent
Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of Henry VIII. She's been accused of some things. Among other things high treason, inbreeding with her brother and adultery with various men. Which, of course, was a hair pull. She just stood in the King's way and had to leave. So it came to these bad, very bad lies about her, because she was really sweet. Maybe a little too,...let's say temperamental, slightly moody, somewhat irritable and a little too arrogant. How some queens are like that! But she was already a love... Anne. And probably the most remarkable wife of Henry VIII. Since she had not necessarily made friends at court, no one spoke for her at her trial. As a result, she was sentenced to death and beheaded. For this purpose even an absolute professional was engaged for them, who was known for blowing out such "VIP" at that time with a single, clean blow of the light. Skill is skill! As the queen had her birthday on May 19, a perfume by Ikiryo was created in her honour, which was also published on May 19, 2018 this year.

The fragrance
Profile 3: Anne Boleyn probably smells like a queen could have smelled at that time. No, not old and stuffy! It's more ancient and historical. Since the means were very limited at that time as far as fragrances were concerned, one had to be content with what was possible. Ikiryo did a very good job. Profile 3: Anne Boleyn really looks old-fashioned and starts with a watery rose note. Slightly transparent, like she's swimming in alcohol. Subtle or also glassy-fresh and tender. Within a few minutes the alcohol becomes darker and spicier. It's the brandy that works its way through easily. Then it gets a little flowerier again. Another flower concerns the stage. The peony is noticeable and gives with a soft, light musk the fragrance a sweet creaminess. To date, Profile 3: Anne Boleyn is simply a pretty floral-creamy rose fragrance. But since the queen not only looked good and so innocently clean, but also had a racy, seductive and sexually expansive aura, it's no wonder that the fragrance also has another side. And what better way to convey this than a successful combination of a sweet incense-heavy vanilla and a sacred portion of bitter resinous labdanum. The scent darkens. It becomes sweet smoky resinous and mysterious. One also thinks one perceives a slight leather note in the last chord. I personally attribute this last chord to a leather-bound Bible. Probably the last thing Anne Boleyn smelled before she died. The leather cover of the bible she probably kissed!

With Profile 3: Anne Boleyn you don't carry a perfume around with you, but a romantic-dramatic story. It's not perfume you wear to a nice party. It is a fragrance that takes an atmosphere around a structure and one on a journey through time into a dark past. It is the scent of a unjustly accused queen or the fragrant background of a dark play of lies and intrigues.Profile 3: Anne Boleyn Is not a perfume to be feared, but rather a fragrance that makes you think, because it ends like a silent prayer of hope and pardon. Sad and begging! To be a queen is not difficult, to remain a queen is very difficult!

Pride comes before the fall.
