O, my mystery and love!
Oh PANOUGE!
Oh, uniqueness and beauty!
Aww, French chic and mystery!..

I chose this perfume for a long time. First of all, the name impressed me - my pink agate is zodiacal.
Then - the ingredients - rose, incense, geranium?.. but which... metal? and minerals?
Yes, MATIÈRES LIBRES!!! A wonderful niche, a masterpiece!
There was no place where I could smell it, for a test word it wouldn't work...
I saw that it has a very low rating.
Ha! So, a mass-disliked perfume, so just for me.
I ordered and waited.
After 3 weeks I held it in my hands. I'm wearing it today.
Well, it's great!
The rose is one of those pale pink, very delicate, that grow on a bush and they become rosehips and tea is made.
Geranium is indrishe (in Bulgarian) - sweet and enchanting.
There is incense, but not ecclesiastical, just resinous, discreet, cool.
There are definitely metallic and mineral elements, they make the scent pulsating, ethereal, playful, enticing, somehow non-static.
My whole association is about a smell that hangs around the Rosebush Fairy that you smell but don't see because she hides and you don't know when she will appear - whether in the early morning... or in the evening at dusk... or in the purple darkness when the fireflies fly...
It's mine! My love!

Dull
Rust everywhere
Agathe...

In the pink bottle, little rose Agathe dreamed of her big debut. Now pepper and metal push to the forefront. A. is sour.

A torture chamber in a high-security prison.
Metal, iron, cold, blood, barbed wire.
Screams.
Outside, magnificent roses are blooming.

Holy water hisses on the demon's skin,
crushed geranium leaves on the metallic-scented wounds,
a fever dream in the rose bed.

At night in the junkyard, she flees from Agathe. Rusty metal. She gets hurt. Blood flows. It tastes metallic. Cold + gruesome.

A rose, and at the same time its opposite: metallic, hard, synthetic. Fascinating and repulsive. For the robot woman in Metropolis?

High-security prison, chain link, cold metal doors, reflective glass protect at their core a beautiful rose with a sour face.

Ms. Rose nibbles on the piece of iron,
Her appetite grows ever larger,
She bites down heartily,
Metal dust everywhere.

Unfortunately, it smells like toilet cleaner to me :( I questioned twice while wearing it if I forgot to clean the toilet. Long-lasting.

Wow, that wasn't it. Very metallic, with mineral notes
Reminds me of iron on the skin.. Nope
