Heavy Fare
Argos can do so much: beautiful, heavy, high-quality bottles, intense longevity, and also some rather brutal sillage. What Argos can also do, as with this fragrance here, is to be incredibly nerve-wracking.
La Primavera is the epitome of heavy fare when it comes to powdery, strongly floral scents. It settles like a stone on the chest and makes it hard to breathe.
The fragrance starts off very heavy and powdery, almost dusty, leaving the pores and senses completely compressed. So dense that it creates a mist that hardly dissipates in the stuffy air. Moreover, a heavy burden of flowers (with the rose clearly taking the lead here) hangs over it all. It also feels somewhat old-fashioned and stale. Over time, a hint of vanilla joins in, trying to soften and sweeten the whole construct. But this fails entirely. It remains powdery, heavily floral, and dusty. Moths invade the thoughts, swinging joyfully in the dirty wardrobe.
That was probably not it. I was infinitely relieved, after the intense and long shower session, not to have to perceive the scent anymore. The longevity and sillage here are not overwhelming, and that’s a good thing, but the annoying aspect of this fragrance leaves you no air to breathe.
And those swinging moths also don’t let go of you for a long time. Because I had to think about that for days. Nothing helps, even if the bottle is so beautiful and high-quality.
