Peau de Lumière Magique Starck 2018

I stumbled across Peau de Lumière Magique while looking for a slightly more grown-up perfume, ordered it just because of the interesting fragrance description and sprayed it on with a good dose of curiosity.
My first impression: It smells interesting! But what? Complete nose confusion!
I only knew this from Juliette has a gun & Zarkoperfume, whose synthetics I can't cope with despite my selective enthusiasm.
So, to be on the safe side, I combed through all possible reviews and tried to smell everything that was described there.
With a lot of imagination, I was able to find a bit of pepper, ginger and patchouli, but the synthetics were simply overpowering. There was no trace of softness, florality or even powderiness.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, I decided to keep this perfume & was looking forward to the reactions to a fragrance that was completely unusual on me.
Sprayed 2-3 times the next morning, I went to work with my new "serious feeling" and was thrown out of the office by a sensitive nose, asked a short time later whether I had now also jumped on this Molecule trend, etc. etc.
On the other hand, my loved one was later completely thrilled by my aura :)
My conclusion after 4 years of rather sporadic use: A very special perfume, not everybody's darling, polarizing if you apply it more generously, good business perfume when used sparingly, incredibly long lasting.
