What a legendary start. What a fast-paced overture - powerful and roaring for just a few moments.
Like a fountain.
Emerald green as well as water-clear and deep luminous blue burst forth with force, violet and cold red shimmering water droplets sparkle and moisten the vibrating air. It shines, it dazzles. Cold waters cascade down and immediately there are wild whirlpools and shallows - and they dry up instantly.
Quickly, the abundance and splendor fade away.
And what remains - quite surprisingly - is a warm, cozy bed of moss. Nearby, one can still hear the hurried gurgling of the hastily sinking opulence.
Rosemary and cardamom provide a rough, hearty spice. Strongly fragrant lavender offers both bright, floral notes as well as dark, woody undertones. Petingrain sprinkles
orange-bright cheerfulness.
The uniqueness of the spicy clove is magnificently presented.
The rose geranium gives a special cutting coolness with impressive intensity. An increase in this impression is hardly imaginable.
All green tones merge rapidly into a rich forest moss. A dreamily soft labdanum skillfully cushions the finale. It caresses and provides dreamy tranquility.

Classic and masterpiece

The "Eau de Narcisse Bleu" is truly a mysterious water of blue daffodils - crafted by Jean Claude Ellena.
Who else but Ellena can celebrate this fragrant water of the blue daffodil for us with these few, surely and calmly precisely selected essences and concentrates?
The excellent observer and the emotional as well as cool and alert analyst of fragrant gardens - worldwide.
Even the colored glass of the bottle - shimmering and changing in blue, turquoise, and green - leads us to legendary dark lakes, lined with blooming orange trees and blue-violet glowing daffodils. Surrounded by green reeds and ivy, possibly white lilies, perhaps violets. The scent of the flowers is accompanied by a dark, at times sharp tone. Possibly galbanum?
An intensely fragrant mélange of the enchanting nectar of the various flowers that shape the scent, allowing it to glow melancholically while also hinting at a peculiar strictness of dark woods, brackish water, and much green bitterness.
Amid all this magic, the fragrance also develops a cool distance and sharpness, surprisingly without a dismissive gesture.
The perfume could ideally accompany entwined floral vines in Mucha's illustrations or the magnificent ornaments in Klimt's pictorial worlds, carrying their enchanting opulence. Even elegiac fairy tales would be a wonderful backdrop for this masterful olfactory composition.

Eau de Narcisse Bleu has a moderate longevity of 5 to 6 hours. The sillage is initially well perceptible, quickly developing into an intimate skin caress, which corresponds well with the mysterious character of the scent.
Eau de Narcisse Bleu is a fragrance that can whisper to both men and women, ideal in summer and autumn.

A very extraordinary perfume.
Mysterious and beautiful.
Enchanting - in the true sense of the word.

With the delicately structured Extrême Pureté,
Karine Debreuil-Sereni presents a restrained, rather quiet perfume. Surprisingly, tobacco and cinnamon dominate the scent. One would expect a turbulent interplay and a pronounced fragrance presence based on the notes. All the more astonishing is the elegant restraint of the composition. A beautiful fresh bergamot opens the sequence, accompanied by heavy dark, somewhat resinous green - here also rather gently nuanced. The bergamot quickly takes a back seat, and green moist tobacco and slightly powdery cinnamon now clearly position themselves at the center of the fragrance and shape the further, very even progression. There are no more changes in the notes now, the longevity is reliable, the scent is present.
And yet, everything unfolds in the background, no note pushes forward and disrupts the harmonious sound. A buoyant, softly spicy atmosphere envelops the wearer. Neither tobacco nor cinnamon develop an overly demanding scent character or a domineering presence. Surprising, pleasant for a tobacco scent with oriental undertones. Extrême Pureté fits well into the early autumn with its first cooler days, but it is also sure to be at the right time in the right place during winter. Light wool fabrics and pastel soft tones complement the gentle, rather quiet performance well.
Very fine and recommendable. A chamber piece for anyone who prefers things a bit more gently and privately.

Now the restless summer has finally decided to put aside its bad mood and is trying to appease us with a few beautiful days. And it is succeeding quite well. A bit surprised by the friendly gesture, I reach for the cheerful and light-footed summer fragrances in my collection during these last days of September.
The house of Diptyque offers us quite a bit - smart-soapy blossoms, rose petals, green stems, and leaves. And so, the almost-all-rounder, Master Olivier Pescheux, has composed a distinctive, light fragrance with a lot of character in the smart "L'eau du Trente Quatre," a quintessential Diptyque perfume.
The first impression is bright, fresh, and somewhat cool, even a bit distant. I suspect white flowers and geraniums and a lot of light and dark green.
Soon creamy notes join in, bringing memories of clean-smelling soap foam, of laundry lines stretched across the yard, adorned with freshly washed shirts and fabrics fluttering in the sky blue.
Mother's laundry day ... Mecklenburg ... Early Seventies ... Childhood
Not far from the laundry area, the garden in the yard with a currant hedge and lots of green rustling. In the evening, the scent of warm wood from the garden bench against the house wall.
Intense, open-hearted, clean, green, and the bitterness of the first autumn days - this is how I experience and enjoy this special fragrance. And it took some experiences to recognize the beauty of this scent.

The creation Cuir Kora by Anne - Sophie Behagel for the label L' Orchestre Parfum is a special, exciting experience for lovers of delicate yet also strict leather accords.

The perfume starts with a surprising combination of yellowish-white fruit - according to the fragrance pyramid, it is mango - and volatile alcohol. In the top note, the bright fruity sound meets a bitter, heavy oily note - an exciting and unique entrance. Cardamom adds some playfulness and lightness to the harsh, almost spicy sound of dark woods and resins. The spice then wonderfully intertwines over time with fragrant labdanum on warm skin. As the scent develops, a delicate and elegant black-brown toned, clearly defined leather accord dominates, but soon becomes softer, more fluid, and amber-like.
Occasionally, a pleasant, moderate sweetness flashes through - a successful contrast - and surprisingly reminds one of the intense scent accord of Elemi & Ambre Noir by 100BON or the smart spice of Le Lion de Chanel.

Cuir Kora has a distinct projection and presence and remains perceptible for a long time without being overpowering. Provided it is applied in moderation.
An elegant and delicate perfume for a casually noble outfit, characterized by black, brown, and white creamy tones, precise cuts, and fine fabrics ... and indeed leather as a material ... It is more suited for the evening hours but does not require a special occasion, rather a free independent spirit.

The creations of the label L' Orchestre Parfum speak a beautiful, unique language in this regard. For example, it is worth approaching the perfume Encens Asakusa if the collector and fragrance lover is receptive to noble incense compositions.

Cuir Kora is too strict for summer; in autumn, the scent will likely reveal its most interesting facets. I recommend this fragrance to all who have a taste for the extraordinary. For me, Cuir Kora belongs to the special, striking, and beautiful compositions that I have encountered so far.
