Base Note Love

This scent is love, warmth, home, comfort. The fragrance is roots and wings.
This scent is about buying it and placing it in the closet when you are away from home and miss Mom.
The fragrance not only smells of rose, it also smells of its leaves and the earth from which it grows. It even has a hint of its thorns.
I cannot discern any nuances from this perfume, my perception is far too influenced by memories, emotions, an entire childhood. No matter how good it may smell to me, I will never be able to wear it myself, and I know and fear that the day will come when the sight of this bottle and a passing breeze from a lady of a certain age, elegantly dressed, round face, friendly smile, but not Mom, will cause me unimaginable pain, the fear of which I already occasionally feel on days when I am close to tears, when Mom wears it.

I could have written that at any point in my life. But when the moment comes, it’s just so different... Just your title is already trophy-worthy, and the text even more so.

So your mother gave you roots and wings... and everything that’s in the first line and what the scent conveys to you: that’s a great treasure within you and in your closet! Cherish it well and always enjoy it :-)

A touching comment. My mother would have never worn that; her signature scent was **Ma Griffe** by Carven. It suited her personality. Unfortunately, I can't relate to **Ma Griffe** or **Paris** either.

I've had this scent in my closet for about 15 years and I think it's great! Trophy for you!

What a lovely comment about a beautiful fragrance! It reminds me so much of my wedding. A very dear woman wore it back in 2017. She is the mother of five grown children (one of them is named Lilly...) ..I totally understand why you don't wear it, but it means even more to you!

Your comment really touched me. Recently, I've been circling back to this scent by chance. I associate it with my early time abroad during my studies, which was a long time ago. I received it as a gift from my mother and loved it dearly. I wish you and especially your mother all the best!
P.S.: The scent was sensational. I haven't found an answer yet on whether it's still the same today.
