More Bitter than Sweet
"Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan" is one of my favorite perfumes. From the first smell which reached my nose and my the sense of smell in my brain I was excited by it. But that is a sensory perception I already had by a lot of perfumes. But later, when I tested them again or even bought them, the excitement was dimished or even vanished. Only a "few" scents are staying to be my favorites, the love seems so be lasting for ever and those perfumes I want to own. Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan" belongs to my scents of desire.
Out of that "Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan" is belonging to the very rare scents which other poeple seem to perceive on me and for which I get compliments: "What a wonderful fragrance is scenting around here! Are you using this extraordinary scent?"
First I'm smelling an aromatical and bitter wood, combined with orris roots of an exellent quality, poudry but tangy. And it remembers me partly on "Bois Farine" by L'Artisan. And yes, there are appearing some flowers, heliotrope, Ylang-Ylang with it's sweet and thrilling notes, roses as listet. They are giving "Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan" an intriguing creamy yet bitter almond and even a slightly marzipan note. I know that marzipan is made from sweet an bitter almonds and if it's high quality a few drops of genuine oil of roses are added.
But the scent of heliotrop and tonka beans as well is causing this almond-marzipany note - if there are added genuine extracts which seem to be in "Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan" But fortunately this composition is not turning out to become a gourmand scent. There must be added more sorts of blossoms than listet. The bitter wood and the soft percolating blossom mixture is staying all over the very good longevity. And yet there is as well a faint dark-green note, a whiff of smoke which is annoucing a special vetiver which I can almost only imagine.
OK, now I had tried to explain and to describe exactly "Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan". But in fact if I'm smelling it percolating from my skin it's tremendous joyfully and exciting for me. I just love the sillage around me I love to smell like "the" "Les Impératrices Japonaises / The Great Empresses of Japan".
