Fairy dance under honeysuckle vines
In contrast to Anne de Beaujeu, Duchess of Bourbon, who ruled France for her underage brother (later King Charles VIII) from 1483 to 1491 (hence: Anne de France), the country garden child honeysuckle rules the eponymous fragrance of "Les Bénédictines des Chantelle".
Honeysuckle, with its long tendrils and flowers that smell so honey-balsamic of summer, embraces everything in its path (how does it change, for example, a simple wooden shed, an ugly wall), also embraces me and immediately warms me with the sunshine contained in the fragrance
Unlike the aforementioned "Chèvrefeuille" by Yves Rocher, which we love and remember so much, "Anne de France" lacks a little of the grounding and depth that cedar and myrrh gave it.
Thus, the enchanting "Anne" remains a fleeting creature in her summery cottage garden with rose, jasmine and spring-like hyacinth blossoms and the rich honeysuckle aroma, a summer elf as a passenger on a butterfly in flight through a cheerful summer's day.
She was born with a hint of citrus freshness that goes well with this delicate fragrance, which would have looked good with a little green.
(Sorry, but here we are back to the somewhat lacking depth for me.)
But enough with "ifs" and "buts":
"Anne de France" is a favorite of natural fragrances, released into this world of scents with much love, care and respect for the environment from a serene monastic security for our comfort.
A light-footed dance through the summer, enveloped in delicate veils of fragrance, a round dance of natural creatures wreathed in flowers.
Its time will come!
