Ming Shu Fleur Rare

Ming Shu is a lighter less cloyish sibling to Alfred Sung's Shi. the opening starts with green sour apple
but in a few seconds a musky interlude
makes it's presence peach i don't notice it. waterlilies drifts silently
in the backround and the drydown of rain soaked woods ends this quiet fragrance unfortunly this does not last
on me.

an occidental revisionist of the far east in a bottle nice yes but it sells
short i'll stick to Shi Instend.

Delicate Porcelain

"Ming Shu" reminds me that one of my aunts had a coffee service made of very fine porcelain. This was served on special occasions and otherwise kept in the glass cabinet.
As children, we were instructed to handle it carefully, as it was fragile and, most importantly, dated back to the late 19th century.
So it was quite valuable. It featured a fine floral pattern in light blue and light pink on an eggshell-colored background with green tendrils. When you held the cups or cake plates up to the light, you could see the light shimmering through. For me, "Ming Shu Fleure Rare" is the fragrance of my Aunt Lina's porcelain service.
Delicate roses unite with the bright aromas of lily of the valley, the "translucent," almost spherical scent of water lilies, and jasmine. All of this rests on a very light beige background of delicate wood aromas.
I don't know if the coffee set still exists and haven't thought about it in ages, as my aunt lived far away and has not been alive for about 10 years.
Yet the fine scent of "Ming Shu" (which sounds Chinese, and porcelain was invented in China)
brings back the memory.
It's a pity that the fragrance fades so quickly; after about 2 to 3 hours, it's almost "gone." So fleeting, like some, albeit beautiful, memories.

Delicate, shy little water..

.. but that doesn't mean it's bad!

This scent smells beautifully clean and fresh to me, like fabric softener, a clean, airy bathroom, and a relaxed summer afternoon in the shade of an apple tree.
The peach and fruity notes come through well for me; but after about 20 minutes, that’s it, and Fleur Rare drifts quite quickly into the "watery" territory. I actually find this effect quite nice, it reminds me a bit of "Oceanus" from the Body Shop. I guess that's the water lily.

The fragrance is consistently pleasant and unobtrusive. I would pack it in my gym bag to apply after training and shower. Unfortunately, for everything else, it is far too fleeting for me. It's a pity that I don't perceive the cedar in the base more, a bit more spice would have suited it well here.

For the price range, it's still a nice scent, you can't go wrong with it.

fresh apples

it smells of fresh green apples, slightly spicy.

Jasmine and lily of the valley are clearly recognizable

all in all, a subtle cocktail of flowers and fruits. The perfume is a bit sweet but by no means intrusive.

well, the longevity is unfortunately, like with all Ming-shus, not impressively long

Very delicate, floral, and aquatic.

Lily of the valley and water lily(?) smell pleasantly delicate here. It conveys a sense of cleanliness and freshness.
Ideal for a girl who is too young for "real" fragrances.
Suitable for adult women in strong summer heat or when one wants to smell very subtle in the hospital.
Overall very pleasant, but for me, it’s more something I would wear under the southern sun. It's a pity that the packaging of the shower gel is so impractical; unfortunately, the plastic is so stiff that when half is used up, you can hardly get anything out. So I will order a few of the miniatures as gifts for small invitations (barbecues).
My predecessors associated it with fabric softener; I tend to, with a slight wink, think of Febreze.
