Boxeuses

This fragrance opens with crystalline plum adorned by sparkly alcoholic accents. Due to these accents the plum reminds me more of liqueur than the real fruit. A smooth leather accord – like Prada deerskin or Chanel lambskin — gradually emerges and joins the fruit in a silver purple melange. A hint of liquorice adds an interesting contrast to the composition of notes. After roughly half an hour the fragrance has found itself and I see a delicate leather scent — in some ways superior to Daim Blond, for it is not as cloying. As the fragrance progresses, the fruit and liquorice notes evaporate and give way to a powdery-woodsy violet note. The floral complements the leather accord very well and accompanies it until the dry down.
