sweet apart
This is perhaps a somewhat daring mix of retro chic and modern gourmet overkill. Daring because the respective main target groups might reject the other pole. I myself was curious about the contrast and especially about the chypre part of the base.
First comes an intense liqueur-like fruit sweetness, somewhat undefined, the strawberry quite artificial, but edible and not pungent. The color of the liquid fits perfectly with the liqueur I'm imagining. There could also be some plum in it. The liqueur quickly turns sugary and then the floral slowly comes through, first with more freshness from the rose and later, together with the retro base, more jasmine.
In the middle section, the contrasting notes remind me a little of Mon Paris. However, I am at war with oakmoss, and this, together with jasmine, gives the perfume something puffy and musty at the end, albeit only minimally. On the other hand, there is something intriguing about the blend and I don't think the oakmoss came through on the skin like it did on paper. I will probably test it more often. With oakmoss, I often have this association with coats from the 80s that were waiting for new owners and fresh adventures in the second-hand stores of the 90s with perfume residues that can still be smelled...
Despite the somewhat artificial fruits, the blend is of high quality, all the notes last a long time and nothing falls apart. Nevertheless, I find the price steep and therefore prefer to reach for my So Elixir Purple when I'm in the mood for fruity sweetness with a slightly rough, earthy addition in the fall.
