What began as "cold water," whose idea was borrowed from the "Aramis" scent "New West for Him (Skinscent) | Aramis," has been interpreted in various ways over time. "Blue perfumes" have not been around for very long. And one from the early 90s with hints of the 80s is this one.
It is neither cool nor cold; instead, it possesses a salty freshness, mint, and citrus fruits. A spicy blend of herbal scents and peppery notes gives it a lot of Mediterranean flair. What follows are woody and earthy aromas. Therefore, it is not a pure "Aquatic," yet "Nautilus" still plays along. A bit off the beaten path, but deep, somewhat mystical, and never boring, as it shifts from bright turquoise to emerald green and ice blue to sunny gold-yellow.
And a scent that extends far beyond the current mainstream horizon, to the double rainbow in vast, deep distances over both sea AND land!

Confucius was a wise man in his time. And even today, some of his maxims still hold true. Humility, self-sufficiency, respect for others, the world, and nature - and much more.
And I can say the same about this fragrance. It is beautiful, modest - in the sense of few but high-quality ingredients. From the cornucopia of a spring garden, self-sufficient, the senses and the nose are grateful. It demands mindfulness - and encourages one to take joy in the small things in life.
Blue violets greet from shady, ivy-covered corners. Iris at the damp pond's edge lets delicate powder waft - more herbal than sweet. Orange blossoms, neroli, and mandarins send greetings from Mediterranean regions. These originally hailed from China - regarded as fragrant messengers of cheerful tranquility and contentment.
And last but not least, the cedar with its woody-herb green-resinous scents allows the perfume to be self-sufficient. It feels very lasting, yet does not trail a huge sillage behind it.
Nevertheless, it is good and sometimes subtly powerful in its presence. A refreshing garden for spring, summer, and autumn - even in winter... it makes one eager to enjoy quietly...

...also a spicy herb. This, in turn, is the namesake for a fragrance. However, not for this one - yet there is much of it in here. Bitter-fresh-herb-floral - powdery herbal-sweet - wonderful and complex. Surrounded by slightly tart-fresh fruits. A pinch of "stink flower," student-like orange pompon. A colorful hit in a summer balcony box or garden. Here used only subtly, it adds depth. A hint of rose and green jasmine provide a pleasantly warm summer mood.
Present from the very beginning and enduring until the end: balsamic dark vanilla with the bitter sweetness of a fine grater or sandpaper. It blends into the green resin of cedar with a drop of liquid amber.
More suitable for cool days and evenings, but also pleasant to wear in summer. It has a tendency towards mystical fairy tale and legend worlds, yet remains practical and down-to-earth. Long-lasting and pleasantly radiating, its main strength lies in the aromas of artemisia and its counterpart, the "grater vanilla."
I may not know this fragrance's more famous Parisian sister from personal experience, but I can imagine that the Grasse version is less puffed up and less lushly sweet, making it more versatile for various occasions. Well composed, the "Beauty of Love" is definitely...

Here I stand by the water. In front of me a lake, in the background the sea. In between, a strip of land, covered with Mediterranean herbs and individual eucalyptus trees. The herbal-floral rosemary competes in fragrance with the slightly bitter sage and aromatic-green thyme. The airy-salty breeze from the sea is quite cool, even though the sun is shining.
And the lake lies just in the shadow of large, gnarled trees. Resins smell like "liquid amber" and blend with the aromatic, slightly sharp eucalyptus scents. Moist air rises from the lake, delicately smelling of moss and algae. They form a mélange with the sea breeze and herbs.
Changing only slowly - from early morning to the evening, when damp-earthy scents of patchouli and vetiver rise. All together creates a slightly mystical, but definitely unique and quirky atmosphere. I would describe it as "between the waters." Where the "Great" influences the "Small" and vice versa. Including aromatic Mediterranean "land" scents. Quite a different "Aquatic"!

The typical sweetness of a tuberose scent is, fortunately, absent here. Instead, my nose is greeted by several powerful spices, foremost among them clove and cardamom. The slight sharpness of artemisia is clearly detectable, along with two types of pepper: the fresh-spicy black and the milder pink.
The presence of flowers is only subtly sensed at the edges of the depth of the perfume. Subtle, underlying - finely dosed tuberose, rose, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang.
Even the mentioned mango only makes a very delicate appearance. Quite differently, the so-called base gradually approaches from the heart of the fragrance. Here it’s again "full steam ahead"!!
Let dark woods and balsams speak in these spicy heights and depths. This beautiful perfume has no role models, nor does it need them. In my opinion, it could represent one itself in its unique and also idiosyncratic manner. For spice lovers, wood enthusiasts, and fans of subtle flowers. A magnificent spice cinema in 3D and Technicolor!
