in me...

How beautiful you are, come to me!
Let me hold you, I want to be with you.
Beauty, your lips kiss,
You are everything to me today, it’s true!

How beautiful you are, in my arms.
So delicate, so fine, it almost frightens me.
So strong, so round, how beautiful you are!
What do you give me, what do I take from you?

Oh be good, what could I do for you?
I love you, consume me.
I worship and desire you.
So take what I have intended.
You want to reject me forever…
You will see…
So now a little attempt at explaining the scent.
Without a pyramid, it’s the most enjoyable…:-)
A wonderfully spritzy, aldehydic classic opening mood.
Galbanum and freshness mix with a slightly piercing metallic note,
very strange ;0)
A skilled somersault and the fragrance remains true to itself the whole time!
A development from loud to softly quiet, moving towards lush and very present.
A rich floral bouquet at the heart and much more to offer.
Innocent white finely woven, velvety powdery without end!
Mainly and dominantly the iris with root, surrounded by a few white roses, jasmine, and I believe I also encountered a tuberose!
Ylang Ylang and tonka rise to my nose.
Juicy hesperides roll by.
In the base very creamy, musky soft, white and clean.
A little amber and wood hide away.
Vetiver, what more could one want..
Very densely woven, no one pushes to the forefront!
The metallic note runs like a thread through the iris powder dream and surely ensures that
Truly’s pressing courtship finds fulfillment in cool satin bedding.
The fragrance truly lasts forever:-), with beautiful sillage!
Reminds me of Frederic Malle’s Iris Poudre.
Chanel’s No. 19 Poudre layered with Teint de Neige or
150 from Profumi del Forte would also go in that direction, (somehow a creepy thought:)
But Truly is simply “most sophisticated”.
When it has finally landed in the base...
I would say, "LE DIX" has risen again...
The perfect Marilyn Monroe fragrance… film-worthy!

Lustful, almost naive, seemingly strong,
admired, misunderstood, and too much desired!
In search of recognition and everlasting love!!

A true women’s fragrance, in my opinion.
A blonde vamp who speaks the truth!
Gentlemen of creation, please just sniff gently;-)

Composed by Alessandro Gualtieri, whose wife, designer Lilian Driessen
under the pseudonym, Maria Lux brought this wonderful dream to the market.
…a strong fragrance, something truly special! Of the size of a perfume
of the old school. I am thrilled!!!
You can truly inhale the flair of the fifties.

Good that I have a birthday soon,
because I won’t wait forever :-)

Unfortunately, there's still a bit of time until my birthday.

A very beautiful scent, but it has one flaw for me personally. The base note comes through with a lot of incense. Too bad (or maybe not, phew) ;-)

Oops, I haven't read your great Opus yet. I'm not familiar with the scent.

Oh yes, Lily, you're driving me crazy!
Women's scent? Vamp?
I absolutely have to try this!
It's just a shame that my birthday is still ages away!
A top-notch comment, the trophy goes without saying!

I took three tries with this scent... first yes, then no, and now it's settled in ;O)) Beautiful fragrance... I wouldn't wear it for leisure, but it's just perfect for business ;O))

Another great poem, but I'm too weak for the scent. It was all over when you mentioned "layered with Teint de Neige"! *laughs*
