TIME OUT
There is no sleep,
I lie awake and think. War, love, illness, family, future...the carousel does not stand still.
I need you here!
Let's break the rules. Full of energy, I want to taste the spice of your lips. To be unreasonable.
I don't want to cuddle, I want you to turn off my mind.
Let's be reckless and disregard reason and prudence. Just briefly dream with open eyes of oriental nights - warm and bright.
'Soir d'Orient' (2015) is a Chypre from the French house Sisley, which was taken over by Hubert and Isabelle d'Ornano in 1976. Oliver Pescheux - known among others for 1Million, Eros, Herod - was commissioned to create a fragrance that would reference 'Eau du Soir'.
This Chypre from 1990 is clearly recognizable in 'Soir d'Orient' with its clarity and objectivity.
The cerebral quality, the intelligently radiant aura that Chypres have, is revealed here in the top notes through lemon and galbanum and passed peppery to the heart note. There, under a light rose, clear Chypre vibes can still be recognized. But more and more, one understands the name of the perfume; woods and incense create the twist. A classic Chypre becomes a warm spiced fragrance.
In many reviews, 'Soir d'Orient' is criticized for this instability - unjustly, in my opinion.
This distraction does the fragrance good. To stay in the image: The adult and clear aspect does not completely disappear; it simply reveals a new facet of light sensuality and carefree-ness, a kind of time out.
This fragrance is not a bargain, but perhaps you will test it someday in the perfumery and remember that it feels good to occasionally (temporarily!) turn off your mind.

Let's get messy and ignore reason and sensibility." - This behavior is actually quite reasonable, not just in the East. Traffic lights, helmets, and all that.
What a fine scent characteristic.
(When the night is at its deepest, the day is closest... sang Rio with the shards... And now it’s finally summer!).
I'll leave you a big relaxation trophy.........
When shall we dream of oriental nights together next time? :))
