The Little Salon
Lost in thought, she took off her hat and placed it on the sideboard.

The spicy air wafted through the still-open front door into the hallway, where the green silk wallpaper shimmered softly.

Her light taffeta dress rustled gently as she pulled the heavy wooden door shut, then arranged her dark blonde hair.

What she saw in the mirror pleased her. The green-gray eyes, the slightly rugged facial features, and the gentle smile. She blew herself a sweet kiss and hurried into the little salon.

Through the amber-colored curtains, the soft sunlight shimmered, casting a shallow, misty orange veil over the silky, gleaming parquet floor.

The artfully arranged small bouquet on the delicate coffee table caught her eye. The small yellow tea roses and the filigree foliage looked as if dusted. And she would soon indulge in a piece of the sweet melting delicacies on the tiered stand.

As she opened the garden door, the faint scent of aromatic herbs, sweet flowers, and earth drifted into the room.

She looked at the recamier upholstered in muted red and the large cushions resting on it, changing in golden resin tones with cream-colored brocade trim.

There she would soon make herself comfortable and, as always, quietly doze off.

How does balsamic air smell??
Rigaud once launched significantly more fragrances on the market, not just Un Air Embaumé. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find information about them nowadays, even though from time to time one or another scent can still be found on eBay.

Un Air Embaumé has such a lush pyramid that I hesitated with my testing. For no reason, as it turned out today. The fragrance is much finer and lighter than the pyramid suggests. It is soft, yes creamy, sweetly balsamic, and exceptionally refined. The sillage is relatively weak, the scent can only be perceived in the immediate vicinity of the wearer.

If the sillage were a bit stronger, Un Air Embaumé would be a gourmand. As it is, it is a very pleasant caress even for daytime wear. Just a balsamic breeze...

Plum & cinnamon & bitter almond make the nose tingle with delight, green knotty resinous wood rushes by, cloves & fine cocoa powder whisper.

The top note has unfortunately suffered a bit. The rest is a great, resinous-sweet and heavily spiced scent with a delicate sweetness. Noble!

This scent immediately reminded me of my grandmother (a year older than the fragrance) and I could swear she wore something similar.

Green floral creaminess, sweetness & wood are subtle. Quite discreet for a vintage. Not bad!
