Flower Bouquet
The tender address that stands as the name of the perfume: "Dearest/Sweet.....!" fits this scent.
Provided that you like a fragrance like a flower bouquet with fresh greenery. However, you can immediately smell the tuberose and jasmine particularly well.
But initially, "Carissa" is citrusy and green and somewhat sharp. Then it develops into a cool floral scent blend, primarily smelling of tuberose and jasmine with orange blossoms. However, it is by no means so that I find it, as is often the case with these white flowers, oppressive and disgusting. The rose with the green scent and the also perceptible citrus scent makes "Carissa" appear as a cool floral fragrance for over an hour.
But then I also smell tart sour fruits and I'm no longer sure if I smelled tart-sour fruits instead of the supposed citrus notes at the beginning.
Even these notes that further enhance the cool floral scent fade away again; I smell nectar sweetness, light honey notes. "Carissa," still slightly fragrant with now aromatic fruit, also seems to contain opoponax labdanum. Sandalwood and musk are listed, but "Carissa" does not become powdery, just more lovely and no longer so cool and transparent. After another two hours, the now soft and faint fruit scent becomes creamy, and Carissa thus takes on a hint of gourmand. This could have been influenced by good sandalwood.
Then there is "Silver." Silver has a smell. I know this because I once participated in a silversmithing workshop. How much of that came from the gases used to melt the silver for casting, I can no longer say. But even while filing, grinding, and polishing, I perceived the very own metallic smell of silver, different from that of iron, steel, copper, tin, and brass and bronze alloys. Now, as the scent no longer smells so cool, but instead more of lovely and sweet floral splendor, I can still smell a note that I couldn't really identify at first. Somewhat aquatic, but not in the way it smelled in other PK fragrances: algae-perfume-aquatic. When I think about it, and as I promptly remember the silversmithing workshop, I suspect that this note must be the scent of silver.
I want to relativize the silver smell in that before writing and after several hours of wearing "Carissa," I read the pyramid here, having largely identified the mentioned ingredients beforehand. Only with the scent note that lay between aquatic and metallic did I know nothing to do with. I then read here: "Silver," and I'm not sure if it's just my memory in my head that makes me suspect that the metallic-aquatic note must be the smell of silver.
In summary, I can say that "Carissa" is, in every way, what the name and the pyramid suggest: A lovely beautiful floral scent, somewhat creamy and a touch fruity, very balanced. I find the metallic-aquatic silver note in "Carissa" very special.
I can't decide now whether I would like to wear this scent permanently. "Carissa" is quite a lush flower bouquet. I now find it very beautiful and also unique. As declared, "Carissa" is a feminine fragrance.
