He lasts and lasts

The next summer is definitely coming, and then he will be there. The scent CHIQUE, that one here.
A very green chypre that I like right away, even with the first spray.

Because, chic he is, that can be said without hesitation. The initially "aldehydic soapy" scent has quickly dissipated (for my taste, almost too quickly) and now makes way for, how should I put it, mossy little flowers, flowery moss, a wonder fragrance because it is very complex; sometimes I smell rose, then it seems that the rosy aspect is not so prominent, rather the lily of the valley and the tireless jasmine, which apparently is present in almost all of my fragrances, yes I love him.

This scent is, although VERY affordable, by no means a cheap little water, and as for the longevity, I am overwhelmed because it really lasts longer than 5 hours on my "old skin," which says a lot.

I find it smells very elegant, a bit like how the "better classes" used to smell.

In our town, there is a castle that is sometimes inhabited. Now and then, the noble "highborn" are there, and you can "visit" them in the castle park.
Once or twice a year, summer concerts are held there, and as children, we always hung around to admire the spectacle. The fine gentlemen in even finer attire, the ladies in their beautiful dresses, and it smelled so wonderful.

Primarily from the lilac bushes or lime blossoms, but it was a lovely scent mixture of the various perfumes in the air, and CHIQUE somehow reminds me of that.
Spicy, cheerful, elegant, and a little bit wicked, I like THAT.

It sounds great for summer.. I like the cheerful vibe, but the comparison to Eau du Soir by Sisley seems a bit off?

Someone compared it to Eau du Soir, which I also find a bit formal, so I really appreciate the cheerfulness of your story 鈽猴笍

I don't think the two are similar at all; the Sisley scent felt a bit too ladylike for me 馃槉 even though I usually like that kind of thing.
