Oh yes, I often read reviews like this, apparently the ultimate characteristic of a high-quality fragrance is extreme sillage, so that even those in the back of the subway car can still enjoy it. True to the motto "The bigger, the better."
My opinion is a little different. I think there's an occasion for every fragrance.
Do I want to wear a fragrance to really scare people away from the waiting room, to get to the dentist quicker, do I want a fragrance that is easy to smell at a party when you're standing next to me, or do I want a fragrance that maybe just really belongs to me and the people I'm hugging?
Ethereal Wave is definitely one of the latter scents. It has a super intimate and body-hugging sillage, but it also retains this. Durability is therefore good.
When you spray it on, you are first met with a surge of bergamot, which transforms on the skin into a beautiful, light cloud of green jasmine tea, fluffy musk and light wood. As delicate and beautiful as glittering threads dancing in a breeze. That's it. This combination is what the fragrance promises, and that's how it stays.
About the associations: what would I do if I had really, really a lot of money and was feeling upset and stressed? Maybe I'd be in over my head planning the latest annual champagne reception for dachshund owners, or deciding whether to get the latest Porsche in metallic fir green or matt.
I would definitely buy myself a stay at a luxury resort that offers vegan raw food, singing bowl courses and meditation sessions ad nauseam.
The resort is minimalist-chic, wood-clad and green. There are no people to be seen anywhere and mountain monk chanting plays softly in the background. Of course, there is also a spa area. And this spa area is guaranteed to smell like
Ethereal Wave. Restrained, elegantly designed and woody.
Unfortunately, I can't afford it, but
Ethereal Wave still gives me that meditative feeling.
