straight to french milled soap on me
Darn!!
I have been getting along so well with Perris Monte Carlo (Cacao Azteque, Santal Pacifique, Absolue d’Osmanthe) I thought I could safely blind buy the tuberose … even though I have not put on a tuberose perfume in like 20 years, and then it was a vintage Fracas and I was unsure about it.
Although the drydown is an absolutely gorgeous leafy resinous arm sniffer, predominantly still soap but a very complex one, delicately sour and bitter in the best possible way, with occasional floral wafts across the top — the first two hours is straight up soap on me.
I bought because I thought by layering over the extrait of Cacao Azteque I could get the floral element of CA to pop. Instead what popped was an anise-like note, and the cedarwood/pencil shavings aspect of sandalwood. Lovely? Yes. A lush, feminine floral projection? No.
Live and learn! lovely, but not for me.
