robert piguet, fracas (modern): i enjoyed this one but my final notes were "this is slightly excessive"
Only slightly??? *g*
hermes, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil: absolutely delightful, green and wet in a bright sunny way. on the larger-decant wishlist for sure
And now you can read the book! Chandler Burr's The Perfect Scent is about the development process for this and for Sarah Jessica Parker's "Lovely".
Frederic Malle, Lys Mediterranee: ohhhh this was dangerously lovely, apparently i really like lilies. i smelled none of the other notes and it stayed the same the whole time but that's fine bc it was great
Yeah, it has zero story to tell, it's just there being beautiful. But it is SO beautiful.
Parfum d'Empire, Fougere Bengale EDP: this smells like curry powder on me. like literally exactly like a jar of curry powder from the supermarket. what
Immortelle, that's what.
I spent ages being baffled or put off by immortelle in things, before finally forging a meaningful relationship with it in ELDO's "Afternoon of a Faun". I love it when I find a perfume that makes a note I have issues with make sense for me -- "oh, THAT's how it can be used in a good way, I get it now".
