Ciel de Gum Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2013

Sensual, I would say, is how I would describe this fragrance in just one word.

It is warm, cuddly, lovely, fine, and delicate in its own way.
Oops, I'm starting to rhyme again, no need to worry.

The comforting amber dominates this fragrance from beginning to end.
After spraying, the pink pepper is clearly noticeable, but only close to the body. When smelled directly on the skin, one perceives a certain sharpness that lingers for several hours. From a distance, it blends into a well-seasoned, very delicious amber note. The deliciousness can surely be attributed to the vanilla as well.
You simply smell well-groomed plus that certain enchanting something that makes this fragrance very interesting.

Vanilla, as well as jasmine, rose, and cinnamon, merely round off the scent; they work more in the background.

The sillage is fine but also well perceivable from a distance; it is not a loud fragrance but still very present. It can be room-filling but never intrusive.

The longevity is very good; even after a shower, it is still clearly noticeable directly on the skin.

A very finely composed, well-balanced fragrance like the Russian soul, warm and heartfelt, and also a bit melancholic.
