On silent soles across the Bosporus
Come Bertrand, we'll cross the Bosporus together. Hach, this is once again a magical fragrance. It's full of notes I don't like at all. I usually don't like saffron, leather or ginger. But here it's all so beautifully and skillfully interwoven that I could arrange myself prima with it.
At the beginning, the fragrance is quite fruit-heavy. To my nose, it smells like dried fruit. But it's not just candied ginger. I also dried apricots and plums come to mind when I sniff Traversée du Bosphore. I don't find the scent particularly apple-focused at this point. And believe me, I'm an expert on apples, because I live in southern Baden-Württemberg, where meadow orchards border on meadow orchards. That also smells nice when the harvested and pressed, but for my nose yet very different.
You probably guessed it already, why this fine Duchaufour has not become a purchase candidate in the end. Correct: The leather. The leather note of Traversée du Bosphore is rather subtle and does not slay you, but is clearly sniffable in the heart. That would annoy me a little in the long run, if I had this leather note permanently in the nose.
Heavenly is the base note, in which the iris dominates and uses vanilla in addition to benzoin and gives the fragrance a delicate sweetness. Exactly this aura, as I perceive it in the base, also spreads the wearer in the projection. Beautiful it is. The scent reminds me in the base of another gourmand I own and now have on for comparison. Namely, Magnolia by Josier. Admittedly, they are completely different scents, but in their vanilla base (Duchaufour says locum, for me it's vanilla) they are very similar. And that's exactly why I like this delicate and sweet L'Artisan so much. Because this is the kind of vanilla that I find simply delightful. A bit dry, not quite as bulky and sweet, and not at all like a bakery.
Like many of the brand's fragrances, Traversée du Bosphore is a rather quieter scent. He has no exuberant sillage and the durability is also average. After my morning run, the back of my hand was practically fragrance-free again. You could only sense the trip to the Bosphorus if you knew I had applied this scent. But this is exactly what I like here again amazingly well. Because such oriental fragrances are usually ultra-loud screamers that can hardly be dosed and can then go on your nerves for hours. This one just does not.
Again, a thank you to the dear Licorice for the test opportunity. This sweetie almost made it onto the wish list. And who knows? Maybe it will make it in the end.
