Spring, light jacket, but a warm scarf. The first flowers are making their way through the snow ... the snow is melting... One wants to laugh out loud because the sun is finally here, but the cold wind constricts one's throat. Surprisingly, all of this fits into a bottle. Definitely a "must" - spring without this wonder is not as bright and colorful!

Today I got to know Burberry.
And this is a classic jam made from red berries in the most delicious sense of the word. So when you cook the jam and it starts to boil and thicken, a frothy film forms on the surface. It is airy and sweet. That's exactly what you try with a spoon... very carefully you blow on it and dive in :-) The jam foam will stretch a bit and stick to your teeth.
At the bottom of the pan, the jam got a little burnt and a faint bitter smell lingered in the air.
* I don't hear any jasmine (to my regret). And as for the benzoin, I have no idea :-) But when you press your nose directly to the skin, there is a note that is strange. As if a beetle is sitting on a huge beautiful raspberry. But for the aromatic flavor, one can endure not just the little pest, but much much more :-).... maybe that's the benzoin?

But overall, it is a red, sweet, and transparent jam syrup with berries on top.

Today I rediscovered Fleurs d'Oranger by Serge Lutens in my closet:-)
For me, this is mainly jasmine and orange blossom, maybe a little tuberose. I obviously don't hear any other notes here. It is beautiful -loving, tearful. Flowers play among themselves, shimmering. It doesn't suffocate, but at the same time, it is an interesting and loud thing. It does not belong to the category of musky perfumes with a hint of flowers, no. Persistent. I can smell it all day from my hair, so I try to turn my head a little more:-) Lasts all day - Bravo!!!

My sample has rested and Madonna has become even more beautiful! I have learned to truly appreciate it now. From the very beginning, it is sharp and sparkling like fruit champagne. And I don't want to break down the composition into notes any further. It is cheerful and very sunny. It seems to me that it will be suitable for any season and at any age. Just a drop of feminine happiness! Today, I hear more than just Monpasse and sweets "lemon peels"))
I hear an orchestra of beautifully arranged notes in a bouquet. There is sharpness and pleasant sweetness and bitterness and acidity... And I will express a subjective opinion: This perfume confetti is more beautiful and colorful than Killian's Girl. All of this is elusive, playful, in terms of nuances, as if Killian's Girl is simply a large monochrome mix of sweets that you took and ate all at once, while Madonna is a mix of smaller and more colorful candies in various shapes that you have all collected, but certainly in the next minute you find a new, different one :-)

What am I talking about? About clove, but the queen in all her hypostases. She is kind, very beautiful, very elegant, very feminine, a little melancholic and romantic) She is not alone, she has her court with her - the whole bouquet of flowers. They are not "too much," but tender and simply there. They adorn and emphasize her. I feel them all, but still in the background. The aldehydes in no way make the scent old-fashioned or stale, no - that's a whole different story. They are simply packaged and interpreted differently - they are not dominant and piercing, but powdery and even cozy. And this powdery note lasts a very long time, I can smell the fragrance all day.
You just have to spend a little time with the scent and give it the chance to bloom on the skin.
So again - a very harmonious and successful interpretation.
Balanced, well thought out, understandable!!!
