When perfumes promised miracles...
Thanks to a generous perfume member, it is possible for me to take a very special journey through time. A journey into epochs that I have never experienced, but which always appeal to me when I see examples somewhere, whether in pictures or on journeys. The aesthetics that I - without actually having a deeper knowledge of the material - perceive as Art Deco appeals to me in an extraordinary way, without me being able to justify it. I guess I'm not miles out of line here, ranking Miracle that way. Not only do I feel this way about the beautiful bottle, but I also feel the spirit of this art form in the perfume.
The fragrance is rightly named after it. More, than the one or other modern EdT, which is given a mysterious aura, which it usually does not have. Miracle, on the other hand, exudes an unspoken promise, creates the desire to dive deeper into an aura that lets us escape from everyday life, generates a kaleidoscope of dreams and makes us forget all the modern perfumes.
I'm having trouble classifying them. Not only because of course we don't have a pyramid anymore to climb along, but that's exactly what makes it attractive again. Once again it is almost impossible to put olfactory impressions into banal words. In simple terms, I would like to call Miracle an animal chypre. The scent seems dark to me, the flowers that have certainly been processed are not glittering white flowers, even if some nuances remind me of jasmine, I could suspect tuberose. Completely without sweetness, but infinitely soft it works on my skin. But even more impressive for me is the light that falls dimmed like through colorful church windows on the scenery that I have before my eyes. The fragrance does not shine, it glows and wraps itself in soft veils of animal notes, which spread silky on the skin and create a fluidity over many hours into which one would like to let oneself fall. This has nothing in common with animalistic perfumes of modern times, which on the other hand are aggressive and rather indecent or even offensive to me. This is probably due to the fact that no really animal fragrances can be used anymore. Here we don't block, here we paint with the finest nuances, we create an atmosphere that enchants.
What remains for me is the respect for a perfume that has lost none of its beauty over almost 100 years. Neither the top note has to be cut back, nor has silage or durability suffered. I am convinced that Miracle has lost none of the beauty that the unknown perfumer gave it and I am grateful that I was able to experience the fragrance. What magic... a miracle!
