Guimauve de Noël/31 Parle Moi de Parfum 2016

Strange that a fragrance categorized as "Gourmand-sweet" can touch me so deeply. Since I am a slightly eccentric Chypre lover (the "older and stranger," the better) and also enjoy rich vetiver and dark incense scents, it’s all the more peculiar.
In "Guimauve de Noel/31," only orange blossom and vanilla sugar are listed, and perhaps it is this special combination of fragrance notes that triggers such a reaction in me.
For me, there is nothing to smell of "marshmallow," but rather a pure, simple endless expanse, as if I were flying from a dark, icy night toward the orange-red sunrise.
Across all time zones, always heading toward the awakening day.
The fragrance has no glamorous heaviness that many other vanilla scents possess; no, it is floating, transparent, almost ethereal, and yet millions of fragrance molecules reach my nose.
And for me, the perfume has nothing to do with Christmas.
Rather, it is a greeting from a friendly, bright, enveloping world.....
