Hey hey you scent enthusiasts, a new evening, a new comment. You know the drill. But what am I describing today? Hmmm… it’s summer, so it’s time for me to enhance my plant knowledge, which is why I tried out a floral scent. I may not be much wiser afterwards, but at least I liked the fragrance :D
Yes, you read that right. I found a floral scent quite lovely, even though I usually find most floral fragrances either stuffy or cloying. However, I must say that I do like many floral scents (but to be clear, not on myself, but on the… supposedly… prettier sex, so on you women,… he he), when they are well-made and don’t include heavy, cloying notes like Ylang-Ylang or orchids or such. I find lighter or at least not stuffy floral scents quite nice, as they also have a lovely, feminine aura.
Like this scent here, Fleur Burlesque by Vilhelm Parfumerie, which I find quite successful.
The scent:
I smell flowers and blossoms, and due to the leeeeightly stuffy (but not bad, rather still pleasant) note, I’m guessing gardenias, and I hope I’m right. However, there seems to be a lot of jasmine as well, which radiates a nice sweetness, along with general floral notes that I can’t identify further.
Everything smells a bit heavy, but not necessarily cloying, and all of this is only briefly present in the top note. Because quickly the scent becomes creamier, and thus really beautiful! Light, herb-bitter plant notes come in, which also smell good and remind one of spring, while the bitter notes quickly fade away, so that the scent returns to a "normal"-floral character with a slightly sweet aura.
Later, the scent still smells of gardenias and other general floral notes. Jasmine seems to take a backseat, especially since the sweetness of the fragrance now increasingly comes from the amber.
Towards the base, the floral notes become a bit looser, but the scent also becomes noticeably woodier, yet it still smells very nice, even if it no longer has the femininity it had at the beginning. Much later (after about six hours), the scent becomes rather unremarkable, as all the sweetness is gone and you only perceive slightly sour flowers, along with a very light stuffiness. Now would be the time to reapply the fragrance. All in all, a very successful scent that mostly smells very nice.
The sillage and longevity:
The projection is good, but significantly stronger at first than later on. Nevertheless, you will be able to smell the fragrance without having to get too close. The longevity is actually good, as the scent lasts over eight hours, but I found that after six hours, it started to smell a bit unremarkable and quite weak.
The bottle
The bottle is cylindrical and flat. The glass is wavy and thus reminiscent of beautiful, older bottles. On the front, there is a small cutout where you can see a yellow label with the fragrance name. The cap is also yellow and cylindrical. An interesting and beautiful bottle, which might seem a bit unusual to handle at first.
Yes, as I mentioned at the beginning, I found this scent very beautiful. The floral notes reminded me of wonderful flower fields on a lovely spring or summer day, with colorful flowers, great buzzing winged insects (some of which, like wasps, still instill a fair amount of fear in some :D) and everything just has a lovely, cozy atmosphere. So beautiful summer days,… but quite different from the sunny days that occasionally appear as heatwaves and are so hot that even my cat has absolutely no desire to do anything. And I can understand him well, as on those days with over 30 degrees, I also prefer not to move at all :D
The only real advantage of these excessively hot days is the short shorts of the girls, but it was clear that I would say that, you know me. If I ever have a girlfriend, I might share other things here, but that’s just a guess, he he, until then you’ll have to endure my silly remarks :))
But back to the scent! It is beautiful and definitely worth a try. Make sure to find this fragrance somewhere (I found it at Albrecht in Frankfurt, for example), and spray it on yourself. If I’m saying here that I found a floral scent quite lovely, then you can be sure that the fragrance must indeed be great, as I’m usually hard to convince by floral scents :D
So then, my dear ones, until next time. Have a lovely evening in the meantime :)
