"Someday he’ll come along
The man I love
And he’ll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I’ll do my best to make him stay"
For me, this song is still the most famous by Gershwin, and it fits very well with the creation by Maria Candida Gentile.
Like Cinabre, Gershwin also carries a fine trace of nostalgia.
In Gershwin, the olfactory main theme is cool incense.
The perfume opens with a variety of citrus notes and a good pinch of pepper. This makes the opening pleasantly sparkling.
The incense announces itself quite early, and the blandly named floral notes don’t really become floral on my skin. The heart feels more herbaceous and aromatic, and I can imagine everything and nothing under a water flower.
The best part of Gershwin is the base! Lots of cool incense surrounded by clove and wood.
Somehow, I can't assign a color to this creation. One thing is for sure, blue does not smell like Gershwin. More like gray-green, if anything.
The longevity is quite good, and like Cinabre, the sillage is rather reserved.
Whether the scent fits the overall work of Gershwin, I can't say, because I don't really have much of a connection to jazz.
Everything you describe is true. There are a lot of scents like this right now, but this one is particularly refined and cool, not so overwhelming. I don't find the flowers either. I miss the water lily. Just citrus, woods, and resins at their finest.
