Sounds like "want to have" again, but the animalic, the animalic... might be a bit too much, or thank god, then I don't have to have it. It probably isn't available anymore, right?!
Oooooooooh!!! Sigh... This is exactly the kind of scent that should be worn as an Extrait!
I've really fallen for it. Not a day goes by that I don't lovingly sniff my miniature.
Once again, it’s a scent I have to like just because of the name. Plus, it sounds fabulous from you. Ms. Rykiel was always unmistakable in Paris's Left Bank, even on the dreariest gray city days…
What a woman! You're right. And the scent is incredibly beautiful. It's a shame it fades away so quickly. But I guess that's the price of extravagance...
Stunning statement! While it challenges the senses and even intuition, thankfully you’ve kept your words for us. Sonia Rykiel was one of the first designers I really admired.
7ᵉ Sens is crafted by Sonia herself. A web of the darkest chypre-animalic. It gets dark around you when you wear it, like during a solar eclipse. Back then, it was already an exotic among exotics. You really have to be up for it! And your statement... **greaaat!**
I really like stone fruits, especially in a chypre context with oak moss. The plum here is somewhere between **Feminité du Bois** and **Rochas Femme**, even though the scent doesn’t have much in common with either.
This Seventh Sense throws my main senses a bit out of balance, but in a good way: The aldehydes in the top note, layered with dark flowers and spices, seem to vibrate in the air, while a plum-dark, mossy darkness envelops the fragrance, with jasmine sparks flickering throughout. The leather facets of daffodil, civet, and castoreum are luxuriously fluffed up by cozy musk, breathing heartbreakingly warm on an amber base of sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver. I’m completely lost in the dark depth of this scent and its sensual melancholy.
I've really fallen for it. Not a day goes by that I don't lovingly sniff my miniature.
Not even noon yet and already received the nicest compliment you can imagine :D
It's quite possible that I'll bump up the rating. The scent makes my heart race, but we still need to get to know each other a bit better ;)
