I feel like the snow queen
This fragrance literally caught me cold, in the truest sense of the word. Meant positively!
At first I thought: "Huuiiiiii, snow falling on cedars."
I love it when it's really cold and snowy in winter. But when was the last time we had that from December to the end of February? Sniff. I would love to be the Snow Queen. But not the Elsa from Disney, fooling around with snowman Olaf. Things were still pretty peaceful then. Of course, Disney can't present children with the "real" Snow Queen. The one from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. This story is quite brutal and there is even murder. Psychologists today would perhaps say it's a psychological thriller for children. Kay and Gerda, the main characters, had to put up with quite a lot. There may be a toned-down version of the fairy tale today, but read the original and you'll know what I mean.
The Snow Queen, who held Kay captive in her ice palace, was beautiful and traveled through cold climes in her glittering sleigh. She was not a good one, despite all her beauty. Yuki is a good one, precisely because of his beauty.
The onset of winter with snow and hoarfrost on the already sprouting grass. The blades rattle as the wind sweeps over them. Streams and brooks are freed from the ice by spring's bright, invigorating gaze. Hopeful happiness greets the valley. The old winter in its weakness retreats to distant mountains. From there it sends - fleeing only - impotent showers of grainy ice over the green meadows. (Goethe).
May shoots on cedars and cypresses carefully poke their noses into the still frosty morning. The Snow Queen sends the ice saints and it is already May. A breath of jasmine winks pertly.
But the most beautiful thing is the lavender! Not the herbaceous lavender whip like Jicky's (although I like that too), but young lavender that has just blossomed. Finely balanced, but still very present.
Powdery, green amber mossiness nestles in. No, not a suffocating powder. No need to hide any pickiness under a layer here.
Yuki also has an impressive but not overpowering sillage. Even after more than 24 hours, there is still a hint of cool beauty on the skin.
Thank you Polly!

The fragrance has also gone straight onto my wish list - I found it very special in its weightless beauty.
