...lies in beautiful lingerie." Probably I'm not the only one who feels this way; hopefully others are nodding along eagerly as well. Since I get to join in here, perfumes naturally belong to the mix. For the preservation of mental well-being, general comfort. Both things have their similarities. Luxurious, invisible to the observer, yet still a delight for the senses.
I owe my charm to the lovely Tivellon. Thank you once again. Also a blind purchase, but I seem to have a good nose for these things.
The aforementioned lingerie, specifically lace, was the inspiration here. Lace is indeed very luxurious and showcases the female body so stylishly, even though it is just a hint of fabric. A fusion of provocation, femininity, refinement, and immensely fascinating. Exactly these impressions were meant to be captured and bottled in the appropriate flacon, which is also adorned with black lace.
I must honestly say that I didn't like the first few minutes. There is a sharp undertone. My boyfriend asked me after spraying if I had spilled spirit. No, I don't find it that bad; it reminds me more of acetone. However, once the scent unfolds, I like it very much. Fresh in the sense of bright and clean. The black currants are somewhat tart but do not become too sour. After a brief moment, they roll in fine powdered sugar and engage in a little powdered sugar battle with the shy lotus flower, cheeky jasmine, and the precocious rose. Unfortunately, I can't confirm what a thorn apple smells like, so I can't attest to its presence.
In the heart, I like Charme the best, as it radiates a very irresistible warmth paired with sweet body allure. A beautiful symbiosis of sweet and sexy, if you will. A lush bouquet of flowers without being overly sentimental. Warm and sensual, cuddly and seductive. The cool, powdery cedar note provides a nice contrast to the floral and fruity elements, thus forming a lovely counterpoint. Vanilla also slowly sneaks in, but very delicately, without being too heavy or intrusive. Together with the amber, a feather-light gourmand character is created, sweet and drinkable, creamy, and even a bit oriental. Musk, of course, cannot be missing and presents itself in a very soft, powdery manner. Smooth and soft, similar to a delicate porcelain complexion.
To me, the scent feels like a delicate bouquet. The flower cups have not yet fully opened; there is something vulnerable about it. A hint of powdered sugar covers the petals, the bouquet is loosely held together by a black lace ribbon and has been lovingly arranged on a cream-colored silk blanket. As small color accents, plump black currants roll here and there. Soft light from a slanting September sun bathes the scene in a golden glow.
Charme is not a powerhouse but a subtle feel-good fragrance without being boring or flat. Accordingly, the sillage is rather close to the body. For those around me, the scent is present and has already garnered quite a bit of praise. The fragrance behaves very similarly to lingerie. What woman doesn't enjoy the feeling of wearing such a gem? The entire aura changes. You feel incredibly feminine, attractive, and comfortable in your own skin. This is definitely part of being a woman.
And as it often goes, when your partner can finally enjoy the sight... you don't really wear the stuff for long (or only partially, hehe). And again, a similarity. Unfortunately, Charme doesn't really last long. After a good four hours, hardly anything of the velvety powder scent can be sensed. That's why it belongs to the flacons that have their second home in my handbag. Fortunately, it is a very beautiful flacon. Flat, somewhat retro because of that, the salmon-pink liquid pleases me very much; it has something delicate. And the closure is the crowning glory: black, delicate lace.
For me, the theme has been well executed. A very feminine, delicate, and seductive fragrance. I can get used to the sillage; the short longevity makes me a bit sad, but otherwise, it's a truly fascinating and beautiful scent for the whole year.
