The arrogant queen who has the heart of an angel...
"This fragrance is a statement for every modern and elegant woman...." with these words the fragrance is described and I'll be honest... This fragrance is a statement, but not a good one! Or did my first impression of this woman deceive me? Let me start from the beginning....

It's Sunday morning and the sample from the competition arrived yesterday (on that note, thank you!) - It's a beautiful spring day with pleasant temperatures... So it's time to try "Queen of Silk | Creed"... And? What's your first impression? Flowers... Too many flowers. It smells wrong. It's artificial. Is that supposed to be luxury? You smell like a noblewoman I don't want to have anything to do with. You want everyone around you to know that you belong to the aristocracy. But that doesn't fit. That's pure arrogance, which you can't afford.

Time passes and the queen shows her true character. That no longer fits. This woman who was determined to show that she belonged to the nobility.... Why are you standing up for the people and talking to us? What does my nose smell? Is that oud? A very, very faint oud! No, you don't want to smell like the King of Egypt "Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" or like the dark Rittes "Limited Collection - 71 2022 Edition | Widian / AJ Arabia" you like to be subtle. You cover up the light smell of the oud with patchouli and you smell pleasant. You're the woman I like again.

Time passes and I smell vanilla, lots of vanilla and musk with very, very little fruit in the background, which is almost unnoticeable. It is pleasant. I feel comfortable with you and you show your true character. A woman, no... A queen who is there for me. You have style because you no longer smell like a queen, but like an angel. You don't smell like luxury, I'm sorry. But you don't want to smell like that either... You want us to want to dress with you, because you are the queen of silk and you are here for us.

Longevity and sillage are good and appropriate for this fragrance.

Conclusion:
The opening is not for me, nor for my "queen". It's too "Look what a great woman I am" for me and she doesn't like the "artificial". The first impression wears off quite quickly and the fragrance reveals its true character. Oud will not be perceptible to most people, but not to her either. It smells sweet and powdery to her. I like the fact that it is not only sweet and powdery, but that you can also smell oud / passion fruit very easily. It makes the fragrance really special.

I like the scent more on a woman. Men can of course also wear such fragrances if they want to. It's too sweet & powdery for me. She likes exactly that.

PS: Thank you for the sample. We were both very pleased.
