Since my husband has his birthday today, the final touches are being added to our home.
In the midst of the vacuum cleaner's roar, the doorbell rings.
Oh, already guests?
No, a package.
It must be for the birthday boy.
I open it anyway - and my eyes widen!
A purple little box shines at me - with the inscription "Silences Purple".
Puzzled, I hold it out to my husband. He grins and encourages me to think about it. Oh yes! Tomorrow is our anniversary.
How lovely that he didn't forget that amidst the birthday chaos!
I am touched and impressed.
And I am equally impressed by the scent.
After "Silences" has already captured my nose, Purple adds even more to it.
The blood orange in the opening is simply delicious.
Frangipani skillfully refines the fruity note, and the freesia is bright and floral.
Clove and jasmine remind me of a lush garden and are also very elegant.
Patchouli and sandalwood are softly oriental, and the tonka bean adds seductive depth.
A dazzling, multifaceted fragrance that delivers what the appealing packaging promises.
I praised my husband's good taste and added with a wink that he did marry me after all.
