19 Louanges Profanes Pierre Guillaume 2008

Gentlemen, this ladies' fragrance has a lot to offer! It opens with a brief, intensely creamy-floral burst that indeed shows a certain resemblance to Delial sunscreen. My wife recently procured a bottle or two, so I can join the sentiments expressed in previous comments. However, this is just a first and superficial impression; the fragrance can do more - much more…

At first, a waxy, honey-like sweetness forms in the background within minutes, with a slight floral hint. Paradoxically, the fragrance now seems less creamy when smelled close to the skin, certainly not enveloping, but surprisingly airy. And yet, a veil of fine sunscreen aroma lingers in the projection. Exciting!

And it continues strongly: If incense weren't present, I might not have realized what distinctly separates 19 Louanges Profanes from various creamy flatterers. It must be the smoke, which I find relatively dark and not explicitly "incense." The bitter, floral nuance certainly doesn't seem solely responsible.

Gentlemen, this fragrance is sexy! In its combination of creamy flowers and smoke, I see a stylistic parallel to Shanaan by Micallef. In contrast to that top erotic fragrance, number 19 has, at your request, a girlish quality without being childish. It flirts between sultry and almost innocent, with the "almost" equally manifesting through the ever-present "sting," which may plausibly be attributed to lily. It would be the proverbial salt in the soup, in this case, in a blend whose gentle, waxy-vanilla sweetness never overpowers, remains restrained, allowing the floral notes to take the lead, while the fragrance simply becomes a bit calmer throughout the day.

All of this can hardly be called "development." Rather, it’s more of a blend, to stay on the topic of sunscreen. And we linger there for a conclusion. She: "Can you put sunscreen on my back?" That may sound innocent. However, it will sometimes lead to a male's hormones going completely haywire in consideration of something between hope and the prospect that, through skillful application in conjunction with *overly feverish contemplation*

a) Rilke recitation,
b) the whistling of a Verdi aria,
c) the promise to prepare a vegan tart,
d) the remark that they possess two tickets for a Shawn Mendes concert,
e) the secret addition of an extra portion of Aventus
(The list can of course be extended as desired, depending on the lady)

sometime later, perhaps in the evening, qualifying for the front side.

I thank Ergoproxy for the sample.

PS: I should remind my son in due time that he is still responsible for applying sunscreen on his sister's back for at least another two or three years.
