Aldehyde stars above the forest at dusk
heavy flower heads & creamed iris slowly bow their heads
finding themselves among the bitter fern in the sandy*

Scents like this often have almost the same notes but always reinterpret themselves. Sounds very nice, totally my style.

This scent doesn't appeal to me at all... it's in the "can pass on" folder.

It doesn't quite reach you.

No, this scent clings much better with others.

Another one that I've been sniffing around since last December and just can't quite grasp. I'm sticking with it. ;)

I'm looking forward to your impressions! (No rush!) I've tried it a few times too... even in different seasons, but we just don't click!

I also found it rather oddly distant.

Also @Flakon11e, in this case, I would bet on Megara herself!

@CharlAmbre maybe it's just a matter of skin chemistry.. There are scents that I don't like on myself, even though others can smell them on me and think they smell "very good"..

Oh interesting @Flakon11e! It seems like many people perceive it that way...
Yes, it is beautiful, but why does it always feel so distant? 🤔

That's why your statement encouraged me to give Megara another try. Good to know I'm not alone here..

A bit too rough for you? The old Le Galions usually appeal to me...

Yes, others from Le Galion are great! That's probably why I was even more disappointed here 🤷🏼‍♀️

The 70s have rarely disappointed me.

There were definitely some good ones and some not so good ones...

You're not really that excited, are you?

That's right, but Le Galion has already produced some wonderful scents (for me 😉) beforehand, so I'd rather stick to the others!

I’m probably on a different wavelength from the 70s...

It doesn't sound light, but I'm sure there are definitely suitable moments for it.

finding peace on the moss, just holding my nose to the wind and watching the aldehydes in the twilight sky 🥰 so beautifully written...

I find there's a complete lack of lightness here; the scent feels rather distantly elegant to me.
