silky soft cuddly scent

Thanks to a bottling of the dear PetiteMadame I may test this fragrance today. I was very excited - the fragrance pyramid is also promising here, but so often there have been fragrances where it was similar, and which in the implementation for my nose then... let's say: were difficult.

To shorten it directly: Satine is there a beautiful exception. In the top note dominates heliotrope, jasmine remains discreetly in the background. Very sympathetic, I find. However: on the first 2, 3 Schnüffler the fragrance seems for my nose at first something green and not cuddly. However, that evaporates directly. After that, it becomes pleasant. I'm not a friend of overly floral, sweet bouquets. And that brings Satine fortunately also not.

The heart note is dominated by vanilla and tonka, peppery spiciness does not perceive my little nose here. And it would not fit here either. The heliotrope and jasmine remain present, but again unobtrusively in the background.
The base note I find very difficult to describe. Here I join my previous writer: everything is harmoniously interwoven, nothing dominates. Who hopes here for intense base notes such as an earthy patchouli note, a woody cedar note or a strong leather note, will certainly be disappointed.

My conclusion: the fragrance is personally too little earthy, too little distinctive for me. However, I find the composition and the interwoven with each other very successful, a beautiful composition that conveys warmth and elegance. For a sweet fragrance, I find it pleasantly unsweet. Also, the floral notes do not impose themselves, on the contrary. Powdery - yes, the fragrance is definitely a bit powdery, but compared to other powder fragrances, the powdery here is also kept discreetly in the background. Sillage / projection are moderate, but again, for me, it would not fit the fragrance theme if he would spread massively in the room.
By all means a nose flatterer, close to the body, unobtrusive, tender. Good for making a friendly, well-groomed, unobtrusive impression. And good to bring a little warmth to everyday life on days like these.

SUPPLEMENT: ordered it for me now - even though I don't find it distinctive. The fragrance is felt from hour to hour more beautiful, I will take him as a winter everyday cuddle fragrance. I look forward to it.
