This is what life experience smells like
When I was a teenager, I really wanted to be a fashion designer. I couldn't sew, but I studied a lot of design theory and worked on my portfolio every day. My role models were Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld. Vivienne because I thought she was cool and Karl because, just like me, he couldn't sew himself and only drew his designs. Of course, he also had an incredibly interesting personality. At some point I didn't want to be a fashion designer anymore. But I was still sad when Karl died.
This back story ultimately ensured that I got this perfume as a birthday present from my mother. She had tested several Lagerfeld fragrances and this had of all the best fit to me.
When I smell this fragrance, however, I see a very different woman than myself. I have a woman in her forties or older in mind. A woman with life experience who doesn't need a strong fragrance to come across as strong, because she is so at rest within herself that it doesn't matter how she might come across. And not in an arrogant way, but in a very endearing way.
I'm in my mid-twenties myself, but if I want to feel or appear to others exactly like this woman, I love wearing this fragrance.
On opening, the perfume smells fruity and spicy. The spicy note smells like pepper to me, but there is none listed. The fruity comes mainly from the currant and I've read that currant can probably smell a bit like cat, so maybe it's also responsible for the spiciness?
The fruity fades quite quickly and in the spiciness mixes a soft, sweet-berry smell, certainly the blackberry blossom. For a while it is still very slightly tart, but in a pleasant way. Eventually, only a lovely scent remains. The berry note is still slightly perceptible, but neither strongly fruity nor particularly sweet. It blends with the creamy, powdery scent of delicate violet and restrained sandalwood. Everything sounds soft and cozy.
Fleur de Murier is a very gentle fragrance. I don't think you can overdose it. On my skin I can perceive him about five hours.
Many have classified the fragrance here as a summer and spring scent, to me it actually smells more like fall and winter. He is a cozy family afternoon, coffee with the girlfriend or colleague.
You can do very little wrong with it, because it is a light accent, but not a loud statement.

More "girl next door" than "woman," but that's okay.
My relationship with this fragrance is not very easy.
I own two bottles of him and have bought none of them myself. Even I would not have chosen him in the store. Now the first bottle is soon empty and it is mainly...
