Dreams behind glass
My father always brought me something nice from his business trips - chocolates, perfume and snow globes.

As a teenager, the scents left me relatively cold - the pralines arrived earlier - and the snow balls even more so.

For hours I could dream my way into the small scenes that were wrapped in glass.

I was the lady who circled the Eiffel Tower with her poodle - and I let it snow down on my alter ego from time to time.

Or I stood as a little photographer in front of the Colosseum - in the middle of the snowstorm.

Only later did the fragrances accompany and inspire my fantasy journeys.

That was when my love of fragrance was awakened.

Of course I flew on the Fragile bottle, because it united my preferences.

I was this delicate elegant lady on whom it rained down golden.

And also the scent touched me - because it spoke of glamour and fame.

Proud the rose and beguiling tuberose and ylang.
Vanilla and cinnamon were added very sensually.

This fragile lady behind glass was a femme fatale, a heartbreaker and the star of the Moulin Rouge.

And whenever I held the bottle in my hands, I was YOUR alter ego

Tumultuous Tuberose
I found 4 50ml 'snowglobe' bottles of Fragile tucked away on a bottom shelf in a duty free shop I frequent on my incessant travels. Having recently found out that it is an INCREDIBLE Tuberose I bought one (ridiculously inexpensively) and it is fast becoming one of my favorite frags of all time! I'm passing through the same shop again in a few weeks and will definitely buy the remaining stock!

This thick and creamy white floral bounces off the skin with a fizz ... the ginger in the top undoubtedly responsible for this phenomenon! The Tuberose here is lush and plentiful ... and lasts at least 10 hours on my skin. In fact, this fragrance is so well composed (even the musk which I usually abhor is very well behaved) that it's discontinuation boggles the mind. It's not overtly feminine on me. If you like Tuberose and you haven't tried this you are surely missing out on one of the most beautifully crafted white florals of the turn of the century!

Yes, it's heavy ... yes, it throws back to the late 90's ... yes, it'a a sillage monster!! YES, YES, YES ... it has all the things I like in a perfume. Simply wonderful!!! Bravo Mons. Kurkdjian.

Francis Kurkdjian's entrance through the main door in the category of serious women's perfumes. A must try for FK and tuberose lovers.
