Weekly Scent Discussion #4: Caron, your thoughts
9 years ago
I haven't delved into this house very deeply and all my experiences have been with the vintage formulations. So far all the scents I have tried have really blown my mind. Some of the things I like best about this house:
1. Their mastery of the rose. Somehow they can transform the rose into the most luxurious and creamy note ever or a rich and full exotic beauty. The best roses I have experienced have all been vintage Caron.
2. They take forever to settle. I really like how the notes dance around, sometimes for hours before they settle down in to a more predicable heart. It's wonderful to constantly catch snatches of all these beautiful notes as they dance around, until finally, they all settle on a magical song. Truly beautiful.
3. They last forever. The longevity can't be beat.
4. I feel like I am wearing and experiencing art. The mastery of the art of scent is so apparent in the vintage Carons that it is impossible to wear one and not take notice and feel a bit awed. Even if you don't like the scent you have to recognize the talent that went into blending and perfecting it. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to wear something so amazing and to really be able to appreciate and experience someone else's love and mastery of their work.
How about you? What do you get from Caron? Do you have any experiences with the more contemporary formulations?
