The Blue Hour without Arrogance.

Head and Heart: Desirable Melancholy.

Much softer, more reserved, more human than L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette. Not too floral, citrusy, or sweet but harmonious and gentle.
It is getting late. Delicate young flowers will soon close. Oscar wears wistfulness on his cheeks and a tiny drop of vanilla on his buds.

The scent is quite quiet and close to the skin. It doesn鈥檛 want to take me completely like the Blue Hour, but sits nicely on my hand and accompanies me with a floating gait, without pushing a single fragrance note in my face, even though I can perceive many.
A fragrance for day and night, but fits better in the evening, as it is not so cheerful and happy.

Evening hours have always made me feel sad. My heart grows heavy at the sight of the setting sun, red sky. And even though I don鈥檛 like to see the sun during the day, I love this time of day. Happiness is not enough for people. The heart wants to live and hurt, to fully experience life, to remember and mourn.
How beautiful that there are perfumes that can also break our hearts a little. Here, dear Oscar has brought me a memory. I truly don鈥檛 know which one. Only that after 2 hours it feels completely foreign and cheerful again. The kind one has washed her hands, powdered her face, and looks much more lively, younger.
But she can stay too. Too much pain is not good in the long run. This fits better.

And from here I say, bye Guerlain! Hello, Mr. Oscar! The night can come.

@XyzXyz For me, it went like this: tested, fell in love, bought the bottle. Will you write about how you liked it?

A very nice text. I don't know Mr. Oscar, but I liked the Blue Hour... and I also enjoy sad scents :-)

I do love sunrises and sunsets. However, L'Heure Bleue was too heavy and dense for me.

A bit showy too. I鈥檇 have to dress up in a trench coat and "disguise" myself to wear it. I like the scent, but do I want to smell like this? Hmm.
