the flower tenderness
The vanilla fragrance collection of Sylvaine Delacourte is very feminine, very delicate: the name "fairy fragrance" fits perfectly on all five compositions I was allowed to test.
"Vahina" collects, apart from the already known light-footed vanilla, mainly tender blossoms to a fragrant bouquet.
Bergamot seems to me to be the strongest companion in this filigree scent, followed by hawthorn.
This hawthorn is still in full bloom here.
We all know that these white "bouquets" in the light state of fading remind us very much of wet diapers. This usually spoils the first days of May for us here, because we have extensive hawthorn hedges in the vicinity of the residential complex.
The interplay of vanilla, bergamot and fully blossoming hawthorn works very well; all three are wonderfully balanced.
For refreshment a little of the tangyness of the mandarin is added; also this again without the unfortunately so often found synthetic touch.
This mandarin is only fresh and it makes "Vahina" pleasantly alive.
Osmanthus, this noble tea plant, whose flowers may only experience one night, elegantly joins the previous fragrance melange by dancing. The circle of well-rounded, very distinctive femininity is slowly closing.
Before all the beauty and fragrance of the orange trees leads this transparent arrangement to its climax, a pinch of tonka bean is added, here very well dosed.
I'm amazed that she doesn't bother me this time: in general, we're both at war a bit - this sweetheart often gives me a hard time.
So "Vahina" is also a very beautiful, very delicate vanilla dream; it fits very well into this collection of five vanilla bottles.
The durability corresponds to the lightness; the fragrance follows a dance that becomes much quieter towards the finale, but never falls asleep.
A delicate hunch remains on the skin for a long time and reminds of the lines of Rainer Maria Rilke:
"And quietly she lets go of the hours and gives her soul to dreams."
