Albédo Parfumeurs du Monde 2023

You are warm. Comforting like a soft, warming blanket, you cover me, let me end the day and start the night.
You are sunny. You have absorbed the glow of a whole day and radiate it little by little into the deepest night.
You shine in my face full of joy.
You are alive. You sprout slowly at first, then confidently. Your buds burst open. You bloom in colors that we don't know. Colors of the night that can only exist in dreams.
You dance animatedly through space. You animate the ether, sweep the universe along with you, inspire the dream beings. And they dance with you, pick up your rhythm and carry it out into the world.
you are completely yourself, you don't pretend. You never have. You do what you like best and don't think about what others might think.
You persevere in drought. You eagerly await the next rain. It will come, you are sure of it. And if it's not rain, then warm snow will fall on your magnificent flowers.
You are very close to me. Always ready for a hug when you need it. Always giving you space.
You are not of this world. A dream creature through and through. We roam through long-forgotten episodes together, scenes from distant lands and times long past wander through my mind.
I can't help but beam back, eyes closed, deep into the dark room.
And in the morning, only the memory remains.and a diffuse wanderlust.

Fragrance, durability, sillage:
i don't know exactly what I'm smelling here, but I like it in a magical way. I smell the most distinctly ethereal and completely atheistic incense. And a light, carefree animalism that I have rarely experienced. And flowers from another world. I can clearly detect ylang-ylang for a long time, garden carnation and a gentle geranium, but also florals that I hadn't noticed before and can't identify. And very slightly, I perceive the creaminess of tonka bean and unsweet vanilla. This rounds off the fragrance, but also allows it to melt into the skin in a very special way.
Albédo lasts for around 10 hours on the skin and longer on clothing. Towards the end, the fragrance becomes creamier, but otherwise hardly develops at all. I would describe the sillage as average, after 4-6 hours the fragrance becomes closer to the skin, but when you move you notice it again and again and the reverie begins again...
