On silent soles

Actually, I just wanted to write a statement, but due to the only feedback under this fragrance so far, I want to leave some more love here!

I have tested all the fragrances of the brand for several days. Right from the start, I was excited about the special twists that are added to each central ingredient. First, I reached for Parisian Musc and Radical Rose, certain that I would like them - which I did. While I like Bois d'ébène and Encens Suave just as insanely, not on me, but sniffing the vial or my husband. So when I tried to pick a favorite for myself, after a moment's thought my husband said "Santal Austral", which at first made me let out a "waaaas?" drifting into high glissando. I like sandalwood - but it irritated me. His answer (he has a good nose, let me tell you): "This one has something special, it suits you better! So I paid more attention to it, thought about it, and sure enough, I can't think of any that smells like it either. And that's probably why I was first drawn to the scents that gave me instant memories, while this one waited quietly and patiently for me.

About the scent: of all the scents from the brand, this one is the quietest on my skin. The sandalwood takes center stage, sitting by the fireplace with a book from start to finish. The almond milk and tonka bean bring sweetness for the cool season. The iris brings in a delicate contrast, a smile. The benzoin gives a nice base. In the course, everything is perceptible, and I can't incorporate which season specifically makes it bloom - because due to the restraint, it always goes. The wearer decides then with his/her/its preferences; however, potential is given around the year.

This fragrance will soon enter my collection. When I sniff it, I feel at home, a smile flits across my face
