Amber room in heaven

Stellar Times is one of the five new LV fragrances whose bottle was designed by Frank Gehry. I was able to test all of them today here is my second review.

As much as I was disappointed by Symphony, I am so thrilled by Stellar Times. I have rarely in my life so a round amber fragrance can smell like Stellar Times. The prelude is a very powerful amber note, which complements the Peru balsam fantastically. It seems a bit dusty at first, but nothing scratches, nothing bites, it all harmonizes so wonderfully! After about 30 minutes, the orange blossom then joined in and gave the fragrance a little more sweetness. For me, it's almost a stroke of genius by Cavallier-Belletrud that he didn't want to balance the contrast to the amber/balsam with a fruity note, but resorted to orange blossom, which doesn't take away the heaviness of the scent but adds a heavenly, sweet spice and gives the idea of being in an amber room much more room. As the fragrance progresses, the orange blossom weakens somewhat and what remains is a terrific mix of powdery, spicy and sweet. The fragrance reminds me at times of Au Coeur du Désert, but clearly has its own identity. For the fact that the fragrance has such an independent and sometimes very distinctive fragrance profile, but it is extremely wearable. However, he fits for my sensation rather to the target group 30+, but that is yes as with everything a matter of taste.

Conclusion:

Bottle - The bottles of LV belong to the most beautiful in the industry for me, but with the Gehry series they have surpassed themselves for my sensation again. The head of the bottle, which resembles a transparent veil (according to the staff, it's all handmade) and the boutique where they built a giant veil over the collection that resembles the head of the perfumes is second to none.

Fragrance: on the LV site, the manufacturer speaks of a golden palace in the sky and I can very well understand that. I imagine a majestäisches amber room full of ornaments in a mysterious palace, where you see on the walls the signs of the past and marvel speechless with lowered corners of the mouth a long lost time. I am still undecided on what occasions I would wear this fragrance, but to my mind it fits very well in the cooler season. The durability and sillage are unfortunately underambitious in view of the price, but for that the fragrance profile makes up for a lot.

Grandios !!!
