Crème brûlée to spray on - and a little moss
I actually wanted to write a statement about the fragrance. Due to the moss incident - which I can't get into 142 characters - it has now become a review after all.
Basically, what you get here at the beginning is more or less what the fragrance notes promise:
Benzoin: I perceive it if only very subliminally
Bourbon vanilla: Yes
Musk: Nope
Star anise: Yes
Sugar: Yes!
To me, the fragrance smells like granulated sugar that has been flavored with vanilla pod and star anise for weeks.
Sweet, spicy, intense.
Or just like crème brûlée - or the crust on top.
But every now and then - I don't always notice it - there's another note that I couldn't identify at first:
You can smell it when you open the packaging.
You can smell it when the fragrance dries down, it becomes a little more intense in the drydown.
I was confused and wondered what it could be, some green, tart note that basically seems to have no place in this fragrance. But it enriches the fragrance in my opinion.
The Jehanne Rigaud brand does not have its own website, it merged with Jean Payan in 2002, but is not sold on the website there either. However, the fragrances are available from resellers. Because the green note left me no peace, I browsed through some of the reseller sites, unfortunately mostly unsuccessfully, because the same notes were always listed that are here on Parfumo.
Until I found a website where 'moss' was listed under the base notes.
Obviously this is a wrong translation, it should be musk - at least it says musk everywhere else...
But after reading moss, this unknown note smells like moss to me! :)
Vanilla perfume with moss? I'd normally say 'urgs', but here I like it, the green fleck makes this scent a little lighter, brighter for me.
Overall, however, the fragrance is a little too sweet for me - but definitely suitable for sweet tooths.
