This is a live review so I'll edit it later for HN and BN.I thought it might be exciting to observe myself and how the scent changes on my skin,whether disgust turns into love?

I was very curious about this fragrance,I'm a sucker for pretty names.And Frosted Moon,this color,these notes.Oh how great it must be.
With Wurzel Wurzel und noch eine Wurzel I had of course expected something vegetabley,but with such a high-class fragrance,I had hoped that something interesting had been made of it.My mouth watered every time I saw the beautiful prince with the beautiful ethereal names in the collection of perfumers. And I ran like a bull towards the offer in the TS, where Frosted Moon was on display.

And now it's here. Ohh right on the skin, nothing want paper strips.

Immediately, but immediately I had the image from yesterday in my mind's eye. We had bought a lot of vegetables and in the afternoon I cut them all up and sorted them into the freezer. Two shelves so that the flavors don't mix so much: celery stalks, lots of carrots, leeks...
Just imagine if we had a chain smoker at home and he'd put his clothes next to the vegetable tray.
That's how "Frosted Moon / Lune de Givre | Cloon Keen Atelier" smelled to me in the top note.
Even now, 15 minutes later. A sprayer comes on paper so I don't have to listen to "no, it's so great, it's just your skin". We'll see,muahaha.

Just you wait.

So much for the top note, we'll see you soon.

This is the first fragrance where I am not bothered by my nemesis saffron and incense.
That must really mean something, because I've never liked a fragrance with one of the two notes before, let alone two of them combined in one fragrance.

Kn: opens with a warm (saffron) spiciness, which makes me think of dunes and heat. Not unpleasant at all, but warming and fiery like a ray of sunshine. Although a completely different scent, it reminds me a little of "Desert Rosewood | Goldfield & Banks", probably because of the benzoin? It's always warm and soft to my nose.

Heart: only less spicy and more buttery-fatty with subtle flowers in the background. As a rose fan, I can't smell too much rose here, it just smells floral.

Later the fragrance becomes a little softer, no longer so "smell me smell me I am the saffron butterbenzo and I am hot!!!" but calms down a little and also loses silage.

I love myrrh and I perceive it as cold, although I have been told several times that it should be warm because it is a resin. Galbanum is also a resin but definitely cool and green to my nose, and I feel the same with myrrh, which is head-clearing, grounding and very cool.
This probably stands for the Capaddocia nights:)

Opens with a bright, orange sunrise, does not undergo a great transformation but becomes a little sweatier and more buttery, and is then soothed with myrrh.

I would recommend this fragrance to conflict-averse, perhaps more outgoing people, as fragrances that are at odds with our personalities can sometimes work wonders on our subconscious. The fragrance is very spirited,curious,demanding and warm,as much as a fragrance can be.

Oh yes and I hardly notice any incense (thank goodness), I hoped it would stay away and it does. Nice and well-behaved in the background

This is THE fig (fruit) scent.
This is exactly what I was looking for, without any other disturbing stuff.
Fig pulp, as if you were biting into a fresh, sweet fig. For what the fragrance is supposed to represent, it smells very high quality and natural.

But here I noticed that pure fig would be a bit tiring if it stayed the same as in the top note, and there is definitely a progression, and here I have to say that for once I smell all the notes. (Great job, me! But there are only 3... well...) Thank God the Dovana and fruits save me later. After half an hour it blooms a little and the open fig is over at the table instead of directly on the tongue.I can breathe a little easier now.Everything becomes softer,more wearable,for me at least,as I don't like strong fragrances. They get on my nerves very quickly.
The scent is not very green, no tree and no leaves, but if you are looking for fig, you will find it.

I don't smell fig milk and I'm glad about that, that would be coconut rather than fig, as in "Santal Blanc | Van Cleef & Arpels"

Tested blind, I could have bet anything that this was a musk-themed fragrance. "Iris Musk" would have been more appropriate here.
Top note almost 1:1 like "Dovana | Sylvaine Delacourte", have them both here and could compare
Even the iris-violet combo makes me think of Delacourte's line.

I love rose fragrances and have high standards when it comes to roses, but this is something completely different. The rose only comes after a good 10 minutes (I can smell it on the neck of the bottle but not immediately on the skin). And when it comes, it comes with gentle steps and pleasantly dosed, a little soapy. Next to it, a quiet, small iris and an equally shy violet with lots of cuddly, soft musk.

Did I say soapy earlier? Yes, but please don't be alarmed, we're not dealing with a bar of soap, it just smells well-groomed and like freshly washed and perfumed hands.
Oh, it's a pleasant cloud of fragrance.
Floris surprises me more and more, I discovered the house too late.
With "Bouquet de la Reine (Eau de Toilette) | Floris" I smell a lot of strawberry cream, and find the name just as inappropriate. I love them both and even have two fragrances here that I never want to give up.

The fragrance is a dream! I wear it so often now, usually before prayer, that I already think it will become my signature fragrance. Because my current signature makes me sleepy now, as I usually wear it before I sleep.

Whenever I feel like lightness, love, being a bit silly, or when I'm simply happy because I'm alive, I put it on. "Camélia Éclatant / Radiant Camellia (Eau de Toilette) | Durance en Provence" puts a smile on my face and makes me feel like a girl who wants to make cookies out of soil and pet cats with her best friend. I've never smelled anything like it, it's almost hard to describe because there's nothing like it, but I'll try.

A little pinch of vanilla sugar on camellias, around the camellias, the finest musk mist I've ever smelled. Zero pungent, zero washing powder. Just flowers, wind and love.
I don't find violets at all old-fashioned or dusty here, certainly not violet candy like in Insolence. Only discreetly dosed, as decoration.

Yes, and that was it, I never noticed a great progression, but I appreciate the fragrance for what it is, simple. For me, a permanent part of my collection from now on.
