Marina de Bourbon Princesse Marina de Bourbon 1994

Yes, she is delightful, this Marina de Bourbon: a charming little creature!

The first floral encounter reminds me of scrapbook pictures with glitter dust - who still remembers those?
In my childhood, they were loved, collected, and traded: flowers, animals, fairies, and other magical beings. Stamped, colorful, with and without "glitter," individually and in whole sheets.
They were carefully stored between the pages of an unused notebook, preferably between layers of tissue paper, and admired time and again: just how girls do!
I actually thought they had gone out of fashion until my friend included a sheet with rose motifs in my birthday package: pure nostalgia!

In "Marina de Bourbon," the fragrance-laden rose can generously and unrestrainedly spread its aroma; it does so lavishly for a woman!
The blackcurrant next to the rose bed joyfully joins in: "It's summer!" both seem to call. "And we are young and carefree!" they entice!
Ylang-Ylang sends out its golden beetles that brightly flutter around this cheerfulness.
Honey, thick and intense like liquid gold, is now spiced with ginger and pepper.
Thus, a stream of sweetness and surprisingly light spiciness forms, tenderly enveloping the floral splendor that opens the fragrance.
Ylang-Ylang still floats enticingly and shimmering above it all!
The ripe heavy grape, crisp and juicy with a hint of acidity, is drawn straight to tonka bean and vanilla; warm erotic bourbon vanilla.
If it weren't for the presence of ginger and pepper, this sweetness would stick to the senses!
However, an aromatic-sweet mélange forms; at times a bit sluggish, dripping from the spoon, but still enticing.
Resinous-spicy amber mixes into this lovely fragrance play: "Marina de Bourbon" is growing up.
If a cheerful fluttering butterfly could become a fragile hummingbird, this would be the moment!
The fluttering from flower to flower has been so fascinatingly captured.

This scent is dazzling; sweet, perhaps a little sticky, but in a uniquely seductive way!
Fruity, floral, and entirely feminine, a fragrance princess has been born, surely attracting many princes - and also frogs - into her honey-golden web!
Some of them will also stick around and flail helplessly.
Boys: Life and especially love demand sacrifices! Have courage!

This sensual-sweet fragrance being lasts long enough to effectively accompany a thrilling encounter; it shouldn't be forever! A flirtation only!
Those who cannot withstand the charm of this sweet seduction should make a quick getaway!
I fear there is no choice between "Pro" and "Con": either the frog or the princess!
