... but not for me!
My choice of title alone (a song from the musical "Girl Crazy"/1930 by George and Ira Bernstein) shows:
Unfortunately, incompatible personalities have clashed here.
It happens time and again that fragrances do not meet our expectations, do not suit our skin or, as in this case, are simply too powdery for our airways, which have already been attacked by early flowering pollen.
But that shouldn't be a reason to rate them poorly or make nasty statements about them: it's completely unfair; we all agree on that! Every perfumer puts their craftsmanship and often a little bit of themselves into their compositions; both deserve respect! Even if we personally don't like the result: then even I tend to shut up!
But now to "Night Song":
In my opinion well acquainted with the wonderful and mostly quite opulent, natural creations of Teone Reinthal, I was very happy about the fragrance sample that ElAttarine bottled for me (thank you very much for that) and sprayed generously:
I coughed; coughed for a long time until I started to get hoarse!
Shouldn't one enter unknown terrain and shores carefully and cautiously? That's what I'd been taught as a child; I completely forgot about it during "Night Song" in my once again so lively curiosity, but as we all know, you're always smarter when you come from the town hall. (At least that's how it used to be!)
I'll dose more sparingly in future to get to know you - I promise!
Suddenly I find myself in a drying shed, an airy barn, where the leaves of the tobacco plants hang in bundles from the ceiling and masses of aromatic dust particles, moved by a light breeze, dance in the dimmed light.
A magnificent melange of fragrant resins floats playfully and generously around the tobacco leaves hung upside down, probably to give them the aromas of myrrh, labdanum and a nice dose of bright incense.
The warm vanilla, perfumed with soft oud and slightly animalic sandalwood, together with these aforementioned fragrance notes, awaits the appearance of the "Noblewoman of Champaka" to lovingly and touchingly marry her.
The precious blossoms of the so-called "Joy Tree", from which Jean Patou created his dreamlike perfume of the same name, appear as the highlight, accompanied by "Pink Lotus" (once again: Teona Reinthal loves this fragrance) on the fragrance stage carefully prepared for them.
This tobacco harvest hanging there develops exceptionally beautifully and richly on the skin after a certain time and will thus write a very personal fragrance story.
"Night Song" already does that, as a very special, extremely interesting and yet wearable creation with rich sillage and well-known longevity.
It's a real shame that the two of us don't harmonize with each other! "Night Song" may travel on and resound in another place, on another skin in the spirit of this composition.
And, no:
I did not rate "Night Song" wrong: it is a beautiful, rich fragrance, exactly according to the philosophy of the company Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume, which fully deserves my rating.
But "Night Song" just doesn't resonate for me, unfortunately!
