A friendship in letters
This won't be a very sophisticated review, more like a little picture story. But I must absolutely break a lance here for this so underrated fragrance! This perfume is a very compelling orange blossom leather scent for me. The leather is slightly smoky, as befits a fragrance named after George Sand. There is also a slight dustiness and sweetness. I associate a study in central France with an open window overlooking a garden. You can see the dust dancing in the air, a whiff of sweet floral scent drifts through the window and mingles with the smell of old books and furniture. You have a coffee first, open the tobacco casket, then get to work. Afterwards you relax on the divan, peru balsam and myrrh yielding what continues to be a very slightly sweet, soft and woody finish. You relax and go over in your mind once again the letter you just wrote to Flaubert.
The overall impression reminds a little of "L'Eau Scandaleuse", also a neroli leather fragrance. The latter is even more refined, the ingredients are of higher quality, the fragrance is darker and denser. But "George" doesn't need to hide in terms of quality either and is considerably cheaper. I see no reason to own both. As an everyday scent, it is definitely more suitable because of the absence of animalic. The durability I find just right for a working day, the sillage after a strong start pleasantly restrained
