Just an Evening Pareto Optimum
Orange with a nimm2 twist and a hint of cheesy bergamot. Along with a slightly musty canned fruit rustle. Apricot perhaps. Another trace could be the "peaches" from Haribo. In both cases, I find it hard to spontaneously connect to "elegance" or "radiant".
Furthermore, I cannot distinctly follow the promised botanical notes; I would have to somewhat cobble them together, so to speak, by considering the fruit as extracted from fruity rose, interpreting the sweetness as a hint of lily-of-the-valley heaviness, and ticking off jasmine. Not that I am particularly keen on wavering Blymeranz, but I would have expected a bit more than (for me) almost undetectable floral-fruity generalities. It reminds me of the lackluster generic fruit mush from 'Modern Classic for Women' by Brocard and 'The Collector - Morning Muscs' by Alexandre J - two unfortunately uninspiring references. I even find their hint of more or less cheap chocolate again today.
Over the course of several hours, it slowly becomes creamier; I initially smell primarily pasty sandalwood on the verge of H-cream, which is also not delightful. By noon, I gradually recognize a quiet duet of orange and amber that reminds me from afar of L'Artisan's 'Séville à l'Aube'. At least, as it carries me solidly through the afternoon, and by evening the fragrance manages to climb to a kind of "Pareto Optimum," as a musky creamy orange-jasmine-amber note develops downright sexy ambitions.
Pareto Optimum. A state in which, broadly speaking, it is no longer possible to improve something in a matter without simultaneously having to worsen something else. One of those thoughts and terms that typically arise in the realm of so-called economics and can often be sorted somewhere on a direct line between "practically useless" and "self-evident." Here, I just want to say: I believe the fragrance has reached its individual best; there's no more to be done.
The catch with the Pareto Optimum: This is often illustrated by the image of a hiker who has painstakingly climbed a mountain peak and now stands proudly at the top. Suddenly, the clouds part, the fog lifts, and before the eyes of the brave climber, the magnificent panorama of the Alps rises up. In relation to the more successful latter part of 'Eleganza Luminosa', the majestic peaks are concretely represented for me by the already mentioned 'Séville à l'Aube' as well as Pierre Guillaume's 'Parfumerie Générale - 19 Louanges Profanes'.
I thank MisterE for the sample.

Ich kann mich erinnern, dass in einem Vortrag dieses Pareto-Optimum in Form einer Säule dargestellt war: 20% waren die Durchschnittsleistung; jede Verschiebung nach oben wäre nach Ansicht der langweiligen Dozentin schon ein Erfolg gewesen.
So hätte ich gerne getestet, wo bei diesem Linari-Duft wohl die Grenze wäre.
Natürlich gibt es auch wieder einen Pokal für Dich.
