Today I need something sunny, I think as I step out of the lab building into the cold January wind. I feel a cold tingling sensation all over my face. Is that drizzle or industrial snow already? Either way, it's uncomfortable out there! I dream of neroli and orange blossoms.
Tonight we are going to visit the sports studio again, so the very sweet Kiehl's Orange Flower & Lychee will not be our companion. My favourite fitness fragrance from Roger & Gallet Bois d'Orange is too cool for me today. After a short consideration, I decide on the Lumière Dorée by Miller Harris, which has only been tested for a short time so far, bought between the years as a cheap trio. The three small, high-quality spray flacons, decorated with floral drawings and a shiny black lid, had attracted my attention despite the grabbed tk-maxx-typical plastic packaging and smelled without further considerations into my fragrance collection So I scented myself generously and am looking forward to the judgement of my training partner. "Oh, that's a high grade," she judges cryptically, and we both have to laugh. But I immediately know what she means by this: the fragrance starts off citrus-fresh and slightly metallic, almost eau-de-cologne-like with a whole load of petitgrain, the essential oil of the bitter orange tree and bergamot, a small, wrinkly citrus fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its typical taste. Shortly thereafter the white-flowered Neroli, the flower oil of the Pomeranze, enters the stage and shines in all its facets from bitter to slightly chewing gum-like sweet and drives away any winter mood.
Neroli and I share a love-hate affair: as much as I like the fresh, unsweet creations, I find it air-cutting and overwhelming in a sweet combination. The ridge in between is a narrower one. Here, however, it appears balanced, sweet, sunny and creamy. A Neroli to get used to, I find cheering. From the base I don't notice much except a discreet musk background of the citrus fruit party, because the Neroli remains very present over the rest of the fragrance. I'm astonished by the moderate sillage and even with sweaty exercises I'm only occasionally blown around by a subtle touch. Maybe it's not 100% the perfect sports fragrance, as it quickly changes from fresh to sweet, but I still feel well scented. My cloudy thoughts were transformed into sunny ones and I was able to let this wet and cold day end with some happiness.
Even though I wanted to take one of my other perfume treasures out the next day, I was happy when my sun-yellow loop scarf sprayed a delicate touch of Lumière Dorée and I'm sure we'll smell each other again a few times this winter
