Cnt

With The Muse, it's simply difficult. The scent smells so clean, which I actually like, but it can quickly become overwhelming. One spray and I have it in my nose all day. I like the smell, but over time it becomes annoying. The freshness gives way to a piercing soapy scent that doesn't fade.
A very straightforward fragrance without much development.
A day later, I smell a bit of oud on my skin. Just a hint, but it's more pleasant there...
I like to wear it in spring. In summer, it's just too overpowering for me. Generally, I find it more bearable on cooler days - for me.

I don't even know why I got this. It reminds me of laundry that has been sitting in my great-grandma's closet forever. In between are mothballs and a bar of soap.
The bottle is simple and beautiful, even though I really find purple to be an awful color.
The orchid is a constant presence for me - unfortunately. And it lasts and lasts and lasts - unfortunately. It's not a badly made fragrance in principle, but you really have to like the scent of orchids paired with honey. And above all, you have to be able to wear it.

Now I'm not so sure about picking out exact nuances and notes... But I'll give it a try..
I dream of a wooden house in the forest with nothing around me.
Rough on the outside and noble woods on the inside, a clean kitchen, without a stain anywhere. Polished knives, shiny cutlery, and a huge leather sofa. That is this scent for me. Rough, metallic, no frills, straightforward.
But still very grounded. At least on my skin.
This is how my life should smell, my apartment, my laundry... Unfortunately, the dream fades relatively quickly and gives way to reality, and sadly the scent does not compare. It could be more long-lasting. More projecting. A nuance more, not intrusive but present.
BV is still a really great, cool leather scent that I really like.
