Just missed, unfortunately it's also over
To begin with, it takes a lot of courage to venture into the complex fragrance DNA of an absolute masterpiece. And then to actually come so close to the supposed role model is perfume art at the highest level, which you wouldn't expect from Christian Carbonnel!
In direct comparison to London, the sillage opens more fruity, brighter and less animalic. At first, the raspberry seems a little unripe, which gives the fragrance a slightly greenish, herbaceous note in the background. Once you get past the opening, however, it becomes softer and sweeter. Leather resonates from the very beginning and is always present, although a softer accord was chosen here than in Widian. As the fragrance progresses, incense and subtle oud round off the composition nicely. What remains is a rather dry leather fragrance with an ambery musk base and a very minimal fresh/floral nuance. After a few hours, the fragrance is only perceptible close to the skin, while at this point the London develops even further and continues to play out its oud facets. In general, the London is somewhat more complex and heavier, but at the same time, especially in the opening, it is more finely balanced than the sillage.
Conclusion:
As a stand-alone fragrance, Sillage does everything right! It is very appealing and, as its name suggests, is well perceived thanks to its above-average sillage and longevity. It is only when its big brother from Widian takes the stage that it should step back from the limelight.
