George Sand Nicolas de Barry 2005

George Sand was an outstanding woman, a writer of highly esteemed "récits", an intimate friend of Chopin, an independant female mind. The fragrance created by MPeG resp. J.-F. Laporte - as I understand it - is meant to create sensations that reflect the inner radiance a woman emanates when she is truly in love. Since we are talking perfumes here, time has nothing to do with this sensation. It could last only a day or a life-time, we don't need to know. Only the passion of the moment is important and translates into a gorgeous, warm, spicy and utterly heart-warming fragrance of high quality.
Laporte captured this feeling of passion, this "frisson", in a mysterious accord of Turkish rose, patchouli, ambregris and Grasse jasmine which enhance the warm intensity of musk and sandelwood in the drydown. This perfume is of a rare and enchanting sensuality, voluptuous and grand.
It could be compared to "Scherrer 2", but it is more refined and deeply rooted in the fine history of la grande parfumerie francaise. If you are looking for a fragrance that unites independence and liberation with passion, don't miss this. Also a good alternative to "Coco" by Chanel.
