of the Dragon's Palace scent?
This fragrance had aroused my interest 100 years ago - now it could be ordered by mail.
And he surprised me and captivated me. What a wonderful fragrance.
If I didn't want to smell "Rose Absolue" on my skin, because it developed too acidic and therefore migrated to my mother, who can wear this scent with the necessary noblesse - then this so hard to get "Rose Oud" is for me a wonderful kaleidoscope of different feelings and pictures - evoked by the variety.
From the cumin that catapults me into the first organic shop of my life, from the smoky air of an alternative festival and the many stalls equipped with Indian-looking fabrics - to an exotic and royal-like enthroned rose that can be caressed by its court.
This is how I imagine the accompanying scent when I look at pictures of old lacquers from the Asian empire or when I have to describe the scent of an Indian Maharani - dressed in the finest silk.
And yet also something dark, almost abysmal resonates - is it this incense note that reminds us of transience?
For me a completely successful fragrance - discreetly it still resonates hours later, remains woody-warm and deep and interesting due to the rose.

Earl Grey for her
I like jasmine scents.
In contrast to amber-heavy fragrances, which like to respond to my skin chemistry with a little ammonia-heavy stabbing, jasmine fragrances develop gently and sometimes more or less flowery.
So "Tendre Jasmin" by YR was a signature scent from me for a long time. But the flowery and also haunting Sillage I had over sometime.
Well, unlike the much worn and much more flowery "Tendre Jasmine" in the past, I rarely use the almost bitter-looking "Éclat Éternel" - when I want the slight bitterness of this fragrance, this note after a freshly opened pack of Earl Grey tea.
The eternal shine doesn't give itself on my skin long with time to reveal the heart note - very quickly bergamot and jasmine become one, the grapefruit probably adds some bitterness, while the tuberose reminds of ylang-ylang scented oils.
The woods seem to contribute to the scent of this slightly muted aroma of black tea, while the vanilla seems to be responsible for the warmth and light powderiness of the scent.
I feel the Sillage with tender dosage as close to the body and that makes this smell straight also in the summer a very good-smelling companion
"Éclat Éternel" is an adult jasmine fragrance for me. Without much oriental opulence - more the clean, minimalist interpretation for modern city dwellers.
