I wanted you to share your lightness and light-heartedness with me, I wanted you to be playful and sweet and fruity and make me happy. Instead, you shoot heavy sugar bombs at me, you are an oriental marble bath filled to the brim with the thickest rose jam of nuclear strength. You pull me in, you stick me in, I sink, I suffocate. To save myself, I pull myself up by the rhubarb stick - it seems to be strong enough. But that doesn't help. I try to distract myself with soccer, but nothing much happens. Have the Orange and Gaels smelled you through the TV screen from my wrist and are now paralyzed? I have to do something! March to the washing up (you're shrugging your shoulders now - washing up Delina?? Is she completely insane?). You're so well done though, it doesn't do much good. It almost makes me cry. And there are good reasons for it:

One) If you weren't so tremendous, you'd be just as I imagined, sob.
Secondly) If the other fragrances were of your quality, the world would be a little better, really.

You are so insanely good, but we have to part ways. I wanted to spend the summer with you, but we're just not right for each other (sounds like relationship drama, haha).

Now I need to do something I've never done before - deglaze, antidote so to speak. I don't have much citrus in my cupboard, but Etra does the job well. I can finally breathe again without holding my wrist away. All's well that ends well. Unfortunately no longer helps the French and Dutch

p.s. I still don't understand how it can be that it smells so different from the sample than from the bottle...

Why do we like something and why do we not like something... I don't like floral scents, I've known that since I became interested in perfumery. Rose, jasmine, geranium, white flowers, yellow flowers - no thanks, tuberose is a fright word at all. Some oriental rose scents with a mild oud content I like on other skins, but not on my own. You ask - why do you need to know that. To decipher the mystery how this rose scent could enchant me so much that I tested it for the first time yesterday afternoon, fell head over heels in love and bought it the same evening. I, who is normally very sceptical, usually leaves fragrances off the wish list after the 2nd testing and often (actually almost always) leaves perfumeries with a disappointed sigh "and again nothing new". And actually I wanted to test the Ombre Leather for the umpteenth time and most likely buy it. :)
And I'm sure I've had something very similar up my nose x times before... I'd like to know something... But here are some nuances that make the creamy sweetness very sensual and unbelievably feminine but not beguiling, lightly sour currant skillfully integrated and my favourite smoky-woody base rounds off the work wonderfully. Yesterday I defined for myself - a combination of Montal (sour), Narciso Rodriguez (solid woody creaminess), Calypso by Robert Piguet (both roses I find very similar) and Liquides Imaginaires Bloody Wood (sweetness). Other opinions?
