Well? I guess I wasn't strict enough!
Looooove Goutals. [*strict-look-and-long-pause-to-create-awkward-feeling-for-the-other-person*]. You are on the right track. The way back. We agreed that we wanted to forget your chemical madness called Vent de Folie as quickly as possible. A sentiment that, by the way, apparently some have joined, considering that the… hm, little water doesn’t quite fit… uh… Hediönchen is already occasionally found in the cheap spots after just about a year.
And now? You’ve been caught. You tried to disguise the stuff as mandarin peel, but you won’t play that game with me! I noticed it immediately. Aha, you want a slow withdrawal. And I must admit, there is indeed a resemblance to the smell of citrus fruit peels. Let’s leave it at that without resorting to Erlenmeyer flasks and Bunsen burners for proof (Alright, I did beat around the bush a bit above…). With the next fragrance, you’ll return to your old virtues, especially your once inimitably natural sprightliness, for which Eau d'Hadrien is somewhat the exemplary type. Agreed?
Despite the gloomy weather, I chose the new Goutal creation one morning for a test. First of all, I had become very curious after DOCBE’s comment (including the appropriate appreciation of the indeed language-baffling mandarin volcano) and quickly got myself a sample. Secondly, the office day would only be half a day and would kindly transform into an HH city center day in the afternoon. And there, as we know, there’s more to test. I don’t need an endless fragrance in the morning. I just like to prepare carefully. I even wore my half-day shoes. They are a slightly tight pair that I wouldn’t risk on a full office day.
Mandarin and citrus notes are fine. My above comments don’t mean that it doesn’t smell citrusy, where hesperidins always emit a slightly synthetic scent anyway. The highly regarded Eau d'Hadrien is, by the way, no exception in this regard. Osmanthus seems plausible to me as well. Due to lack of pure knowledge, I’ve always had to piece that together from other sources (especially through Osmanthus from TDC).
Without announcement, I would have initially recognized the tea in the scent only with difficulty, which is similar to what the esteemed opening commentator experienced. On the contrary, the synthetic component becomes stronger for me over the course of the morning and creates a deep furrow on my forehead. I only unmistakably perceive the tea in the late morning, although I’m not sure which one it is supposed to be. Something aromatic. I find that simply annoying. And then, of course, this chemical stuff (unfortunately only that) lasts longer than expected, namely about six hours (*scrub, scrub*). I have nothing against decent longevity, but not like this.
No, no, dear Goutals, there’s still a proper piece of the way to go. Back, of course.
