Harvest time
The mirabelle plums, these small, yellow, sugary beasts from the plum family, are ripe, overripe, and fall from the trees in their hundreds. They now cover almost the entire meadow and are a refreshment for the musk ox, which is allowed to live freely here and eats a fat belly of fruit during this time.
After all, we like mirabelle plums too, so I can understand why the ox enjoys them.
Its musky "scent" mixes with that of the sweet mirabelle plums; there may also be one or two flowers, but they hardly play a role, just like the other scent components that are found in the pyramid.
With a full stomach, he slowly retreats into the vanilla orchid thicket between the sandalwood trees to rest. Full, the snout still smells of mirabelle plums, and - as far as one can say of an ox - completely satisfied.
The sandalwood-vanilla clouds blow around his nose and he dreams of many, many mirabelle plums that he can still eat, with a facial expression that almost looks like a grin...
This Iles d'Or version 2007 has nothing to do with the original Iles d'Or. The scent is a fruity musk-vanilla composition, which ends in a gentle sandalwood-vanilla note, but otherwise shows no “Gold Island” properties. It's nice, but if you're like me and know the "old" version of Iles d'Or, you'll be disappointed with this fragrance. Maybe that's why I waited so long to try it because it was exactly what I was afraid of...
Please, dear Molinards, bring me back the original Iles D'Or, one of the most beautiful scents in my collection.
