A Sweet Memory

I am quite new to the world of perfume; one day I decided: "I want a scent!" Through the association with the character "Yennefer of Vengerberg," I found this fragrance and, after some research, bought a whole bottle blind.
No regrets.
I still lack precise words and descriptions from this niche, but I will do my best.

Upon the first application, I found it hard to describe the scent more accurately; I only knew it smelled good and I liked it.
In the following days, I was able to articulate this feeling more clearly: a sweet yet tangible dream or a memory of a person I hold dear, whose touch I can still feel clearly, as she just disappeared from my sight around the next curve.

At first, I smell a light lilac, like a breeze coming through the open window into my room, and then a freshness joins in, a cooler gust of air that invigorates and awakens me. After that, a sweet gooseberry comes into play and lingers for a long while, cuddling closer to me.

The scent lasts well over a workday; after that, it is still detectable when I sniff directly at my skin.

All in all, I would describe it as "Sweet Freshness."

[ For the Witcher fans:
I saw a small discourse online about this scent and Yennefer, with some saying "No, that's not Yenn" and others "Definitely yes." I would say it is the memory of Yennefer. Geralt smells this scent when he searches for Yennefer and thinks of her, with the longing to find her. And I find this scenario is represented by this fragrance. One does not feel the dangerous mysterious magic and the seductive aura of Yennefer; one feels the memory and longing for her and her tender love.]
