A brighter glowing red
....She said, 'There is no reason'
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later...
A whiter shade of pale- Procul Harum
This is the song that comes to my lips as a low hum when I wear this fragrance. A longing melody with thoughtful content. Whereas the fragrance is not pale for me, it is rather strong red, through roses and currants and pink pepper - it symbolizes for me the heat of longing, the sweetness of love. But that deep red is powderily dulled, by iris and a little freesia - the lily of the valley has only an extra's place. The hot, sweet red is softened, as if love were a past memory. But this memory manifests itself as a sweet indulgence, praline, vanilla and bitter almond remain - the patchouli testifies to the dark depth of this sensation. Presented passion and transfigured melancholy at the same time are what distinguish this fragrance for me. It is sweet, but it does not "squeak." It is a mature sweetness.
It's present and exudes a beautiful aura, and it lasts. At least 7-8 hours. Clothes wear a hint of it forever. And so he can certainly also be a nice wearing companion, on occasions where the above song (who still knows the then) gladly contributes to the background.
The Exquisite Temptation is very pleasant wahrnembar, I feel it incidentally not as a gourmand, despite the bitter almond, but as a fine potpourri of female seduction.
