Scent

In the plum tree branches

At the end of a branch, gently shaken by the wind, a bud opens in slow motion, unfolding its silky soft petals one by one with an inviting gesture. They are a pale pink color and the morning mist immediately settles on the fresh bloom.
Their fragrance is deeper than one would expect: delicate citrus notes, the impression of warm magenta, a powdery violet framed by the woody and earthy notes of the garden in which this flowering tree stands.

At first, I was put off by the impression of a "generic" mainstream scent that seemed to consist only of a standard spritz of intermingled florals backed by citrus. After a few minutes, however, it evolves into something more profound and reveals its chypre heart.
Still, it leaves me cold - intellectually, I can confirm its kinship with Mitsouko, but it doesn't evoke feelings in me like Mitsouko Eau de Parfum or even Civet.
Pretty, but somehow hollow like the bones of this little bird.
