Only the Name Remained
Now I have the third fragrance called Chèvrefeuille and, as expected, it is also a scent that only resembles my old fragrance of the same name from the 70s in small ways. Fortunately, I still have an unopened bottle of the original scent that is more than half full. Of course, times have changed, and I have changed as well. I no longer wear many of the old fragrances. However, the original scent had such a strong presence without being intrusive that its successors have a tough time. I disposed of the second version of the name after a short time because, despite proper storage, it went off and smelled bad after a while.
But let's move on to the modern era. I tested it in the store some time ago and I liked it very much. However, I am slowly starting to suspect that the sample bottles contain a different concentration than the bottles that come by mail. The scent for me consists simply of honeysuckle and nothing more. It starts with that, continues with that, and disappears with that. A fragrance that is present and then becomes thin. It is fresh for me and a good scent for midsummer, as it makes you smell fresh and well-groomed. There are no other fragrance notes present. But since I have honeysuckle in my garden, I think this scent has only the name in common with the fragrance from nature and nothing else. I generally like fresh scents and Chèvrefeuille has always been a direction that appealed to me and still does. After about 15 minutes... wow... while the YR fragrances usually become thin within minutes... this scent disappeared into thin air. A faint hint still to sniff after an hour. But that was it. Suitable for midsummer, but please without high expectations. For the rest of the time, it is only conditionally suitable for me, as I find the scent too weak.
