Mirjam and I, we have had a hard time with each other. It had to be multiple tests, which is actually usual. But this fragrance just wouldn't unfold properly for me at first. Where are the spices? I asked myself as I read the pyramid here after testing.
After a rather alcoholic start, I initially smell airy lemon cream, accompanied by unsweetened dry powder. Half an hour later, I am reminded of Eau de Shalimar, not smoky like the actual Shalimar itself, no, it smells of spicy vanilla, not sugar vanilla.
Later on, I only perceive this delicate cream powder. My nose has to get closer to my skin, so the sillage is weak. An absolutely fine, elegant body powder care scent envelops me more or less strongly with an airy, finely powdered care series scent veil. On clothing, it naturally lasts longer, but on my skin, unfortunately only three to four hours. So don’t be shy when spraying. I don’t know where to buy it, but it is said to be very affordable.
A big thank you to the lovely Parfuma for this sample!
I ordered mine from asambeauty. It's really affordable. I like it a lot for everyday wear when I want something a bit more subtle but still noticeable.
