Eau des Missions Le Couvent 2011

Occasionally I wake up at night, can't get back to sleep right away, and then sometimes think of perfume. Outside of this forum, I would not tell anyone. And so it was just once again: Sleepless in South-East Lower Saxony. On my wrist still a hint of Eau de Missions, my winter bedtime scent, which I had sprayed on a few hours earlier. Still soothing and cuddly as the down blanket around me. For this fragrance is made as for the nightly silence.

My other fragrances lack this potential. They may be more expressive, have chicer bottles or better durability. Eau de Missions has none of that, doesn't even have any significant development. At most, it's more layered when sprayed on, when it has that slightly alcoholic liqueur note. It's like mixing Jägermeister with cough syrup and sugar and warming it up, at least that's how I imagine it. In the first few minutes, it even reminds me of the adorable Angelique Noir, which I -unfortunately- only know from testing it over and over again. But after 10 minutes at the latest, Eau de Missions has already reached the slightly sweet, vanilla-tart-spicy stage, which I love so much. Protective and cuddly. And so it remains, only becomes gentler and is gone in the morning like a good, secret lover.
In this sense: ceep calm and cheers for silent heroes!
