Probably better on someone else than me, but still transfixed

Tried this having never heard of it on a trip recently and had to get a decant because I almost dropped the $ for a bottle right there. It's hard to explain, but I read somewhere that the feminine freshness though bordering on unisex would do better on someone else than themselves and that's about where I lie with it. I think i'd enjoy smelling this on someone else, I can't decide if it's a daily driver for me or not, I'm going to work through the decant and see if it can get into my rotation as I look for more fresh/rose-scented things that I can wear yearound. Overpriced for what it is, for sure, but I will say that it's my favorite of this house by far, none of the other things in this collection did a single thing for me.

The definition of "lovely"

I like the smell of the perfume on my clothes compared to my skin a lot more. My clothes smells fresh and bright as opposed to my skin which picks up more on the citrus and musk (still a nice, dainty fragrance but better on cloth). These notes and overall scent align with what I typically wear so I really enjoyed the clean, soft and sophisticated citrus, iris, and musk, but it just vanishes and it becomes unremarkable in that sense unfortunately. Either way, I have a full bottle and go to town with the spraying when I want to feel "soft and fancy" lol.

High expectations ...

...lead to higher disappointments.

Interestingly, there is currently a survey on the homepage regarding the correlation (or lack thereof) between price and quality in fragrances. The comments on this are extremely interesting to read, and at least my stance on this topic is as follows: if I have to shell out more than 4 Eur/ml for a fragrance, then I expect it to have a certain performance in terms of longevity and sillage. Especially if the manufacturer is not a house with enormous media hype (advertising/stores/supermodel face). I don’t have to automatically like the fragrance, and it doesn’t have to be a scent bomb for my surroundings, but I DO want to at least find the scent on ME (!) again after a) more than an hour b) more than 10cm away from my arm, and c) without having to spray it 10 times.

I certainly don’t want to exclude the possibility that my skin absorbs it like crazy or that my olfactory organ is just not picking up this particular scent, and I am doing Yin Transformation Eau de Parfum a terrible injustice, but I can only convey my subjective experience. Maybe they also used unicorn dust and fairy powder to justify the price per ml, I don’t know.
I have tested it multiple times, even on "prepared" skin (Vaseline test), nope, nothing doing. A manufacturer sample was also used.

That being said, the scent itself is really beautiful! I have a bit of trouble clearly identifying individual components due to its delicacy; it comes across very soft and creamy, subtly floral and not really citrusy. I had hoped for a bit more tea character, but I can’t detect the tea note; the rose is too dominant in that regard. If one can even speak of dominance, as it is really just a very delicate breeze, more of a little rose. Nothing is off-putting, very harmonious - just so subtle that it borders on non-existence. I generally really like creamy scents, but here I must truly point out that every average body lotion is worlds stronger in comparison! Well, at least the bottle could also be for such a product; a bath additive would also work.

Body spray performance in an Eau de Parfum disguise and at a truly hefty price simply doesn’t fit for me. My Yin transforms nothing here. What a pity!

Little Lagoon

I am by the water,
but not on a Caribbean beach, rather at a small lagoon.
It’s morning, the sun is shining, it’s still cool, but I know it will be a warm day. I sit at the edge of the lagoon and dangle my legs in the water. I take a deep breath and notice how the scent of the water blends with the scent of my sunscreen.
It’s quiet. Peace.

I can hardly distinguish individual scent components, but that’s the association I get with this fragrance.
Perhaps, despite the price, a bottle will have to find its way to me someday.

Gentle Harmony and Quiet Strength

Yin Transformation by the Harmonist is a fragrance that enchants with a special calmness and balance. It carries the essence of the Yin principle within: soft, flowing, and introspective, without losing character or depth.
The opening is like a gentle breeze - citrusy and aquatic, with a hint of bergamot and a subtle freshness that reminds one of cool morning hours. Yet this fragrance does not remain purely refreshing; it begins to quietly build, like a melody that slowly gains intensity.
The heart is characterized by floral notes, particularly magnolia and iris. They give the composition a creamy, powdery quality that radiates warmth and comfort. It feels like a quiet retreat, an invitation to pause and rest within oneself. The base is earthy and soft, marked by musk and woods, leaving a gentle, lasting warmth on the skin. The combination of floral and woody notes is perfectly balanced, giving the fragrance an elegant timelessness.
Yin Transformation is like a meditative experience - calming, yet not boring.

Reminds me a lot of Nivea body lotion. Clean-creamy and, unusually, a bit aquatic in a pleasant way.

Herb, cool freshness with this luxury body lotion. Softly creamed with delicate flowers. Plus a hint of powder. Snuggled up in a white bathrobe.

It envelops me like a fresh summer morning, where the air is pure and gentle. Subtle, unobtrusive, like a feather-light, silky cream.

One of my favorites right now. Smells just like the bottle looks - cool, well-groomed, light blue, and simply beautiful…..

Between fresh and creamy-powdery, a gentle aquatic hint, creating an association with the element of water. Like a luxurious cream. Different from the perfume.
