Pyramide Schlossparfumerie Wolff & Sohn Stuttgart 2003

My test of Pyramide was a truly special experience.
I was unfamiliar with both the scent and the "Schlossparfumerie" - or so I thought! When I researched the perfumery, I realized that I had often walked past the shop in Stuttgart, where I lived at the time. Back then, I hadn't yet scouted for perfumeries with interesting assortments everywhere. Shortly after, I read that the perfumery had closed a few months prior due to a lack of a successor. The building was demolished. I also began reading about it here on Parfumo and felt transported to another time. I took a journey into olfactory history.

Now to the scent. After the first sniff, I thought: nice but boring and powdery "grandma scent." However, about an hour later, I couldn't keep my nose away from my wrist. The scent becomes warm, cozy, and comforting. I would say it has a fresh laundry scent, but not in a flat, boring, and overly musky way as you might think. Pyramide is more refined. It smells of fresh laundry and the elegance of a grande dame at the same time. It has a floral scent without being overwhelming. However, I don't perceive lemon and pepper at all. The longevity is above average. Pyramide is a complete and rounded fragrance that truly captivated me.
