Midnight Caresses
One thing upfront - the name of the fragrance is almost perfectly chosen.
However, I would rather give it a bit more love or desire in the name instead of a heavy tone. "Caresses" fits well, as the scent is extremely cuddly on the wearer and truly knows how to seduce.
It fits into the dark time of day, as it smells pleasantly warm of earth and thick, syrupy patchouli notes.
Already with the first inhalation, the warmth settles in.
I applied the fragrance after an extensive day at the spa, where I literally sweated out the toxins and everyday stress, including weeks of burdens, in the sauna. A thorough shower followed, where I rinsed away all my thoughts under a hard stream. Sometimes you just need that, especially after a tough time. It takes a while for everything to build up, but as they say, it eventually comes to a breaking point.
It was already night when I came out.
Arriving home, I wrapped myself in my blanket. The scent had become even more cuddly. It somehow calms you, gives you a sense of security. A gentle note of lemons tickles my nose, basking in the very last beat of the sunset. Earthy facets envelop the whole thing, with plenty of warmth still present. The scent of patchouli is not too heavy; it flows seamlessly within the perfume. Everything feels well-balanced. Sensually, I perceive resinous aspects that wedge themselves under the skin. It’s all so fluid, as if the fragrance was made to bubble. The -I feel good in my skin- feeling is emphasized here. Longevity and sillage are in the upper range.
At midnight, it was still there. The caresses were not over even after waking up. Probably in my dreams, the scent broke through my hazy dreams, because I hadn’t had a night like that in a long time, where I slept so deeply that the next morning I didn’t know which planet I was on.
You surely know the feeling, waking up and confusing day with night. Or the other way around. Once, I went to school at 8 PM in early summer because I thought it was 8 AM. :D But that’s another story.
What I want to say is that the fragrance snatches away your sense of space and time, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its caresses. There aren’t many transitions. It’s a steadfast warmth that runs from beginning to end. With lots of caresses from patchouli, warm, spicy earth, shining in the shadow of lemon.
I love it and it’s going on the wish list.
To the unknown donor of the sample: Thank you very much!

With every line, your excitement transferred to me, even though I've never smelled it.
It's amazing how fragrances can support us.
That was a lovely read for the evening.
Thank you!
