Beautiful fragrance for beasts
Hello folks, here I am again. You know by now what that means: Either I bitch about you ladies or describe a new fragrance. More likely, however, that I do both combined :D
But let's wait and see, I've only just started. So, today it's about the fragrance "Noir Premier - Terres Aromatiques 1905" by Lalique. The year 1905 does not stand for the year in which this fragrance was first created, but is a kind of homage to the year in which the perfumers Francois Coty and René Lalique met for the first time and made common cause in the matter of perfumes, with a great idea: At that time, fragrances were sold either in quite simple philo or in very expensive single bottles, which of course made the unit price of a fragrance very high. The two Parfumos (yes, there was already Parfumo in 1905! :D) developed bottles with closures that could be produced in large numbers at low cost, which also fulfilled Coty's wish: Namely, individual, beautiful, but also affordable bottles for each of his fragrances. Which certainly also visually increased the recognition value of the fragrances.
So, now that we know that and all the talk now really nothing about the fragrance itself has said something, I think it's time to describe the fragrance, unless you like to hear or read me babble endlessly here :D
In the background, I now also smell some thyme, so that the fragrance together with the lavender quite herbaceous-herbaceous effect, which is nevertheless not pungent or so, because as I said also a strong, powdery-sweet fragrance note emits alongside.
A little later, you smell from a distance best the spicy-sweet and tart notes out, sniffed closer on the skin but you can still smell out the citrusy fragrance notes.
With time comes with the amber another sweet fragrance note, which becomes the stronger sweet note towards the base. Here in the fragrance listing was written for Orcanox, I assume that an amber-like note is meant, after all, Orcanox sounds like the term for a killer whale (orca) and from (pot) whales is won amber (even if most of the amber today is certainly only synthetically produced).
The base is sweetish by the mix of tonka and amber, but also the tart notes are still quite smellable, which together makes a nice mix and the fragrance thereby also does not seem "just overly sweet". Vetiver smells here, by the way, more earthy than "grassy".
Well well, of course you perfumas are welcome to use the scent, then at least you'll smell quite elegant while doing something totally beastly again! :DD
Why are you guys always so mean? *sigh* can't you be as cute as my cat characters? :D (namely like the ones from my children's books "Skilled Cats".... was bound to do something with cats... :DDD). But nooo,...
He he, yes he is a fragrance that fits especially well in the evening or for going out. Although not to party, but just for all other occasions. Due to the somewhat heavy charisma I would classify the fragrance in the fall and winter.
Yes, I would test the fragrance times, as I said it is not only sweetish, but in the end even especially something earthier, so that it is thus suitable for everyone, and not just for younger or so who are only on sweet. The only drawback is that the fragrance is not exactly cheap, where you should look carefully, because the prices sometimes vary between 120 - 250 euros.
And that's it again for today. So have a nice evening and see you next time :)

The fragrance:
The scent starts with lavender and lemon and has a slightly classic touch (but without classic fragrance notes like oakmoss), making the scent seem slightly more mature. The cardamom quickly kicks in as well, adding a spicy note to the scent. Whether the beautiful sweetness also comes from the cardamom or this is already the now already acting tonka bean, I can not yet say exactly, but I suspect that it is probably the tonka bean, because the fragrance also starts to smell more softly powdery and tonka bean can often come across very powdery. In the background, I now also smell some thyme, so that the fragrance together with the lavender quite herbaceous-herbaceous effect, which is nevertheless not pungent or so, because as I said also a strong, powdery-sweet fragrance note emits alongside.

The sillage and the durability:
The sillage is good, the scent should be well noticed by others for a while in my opinion, and not just at close range. I found the durability to be pretty good at over eight hours. The bottle:
The bottle is tall and black with glass on the sides where you can see the fragrance contents. If you look closely, the black parts of the bottle form the Roman numeral one, which in turn is a tribute to the first black bottle by Lalique, the "Quatre Aigles", which was also tall and black and featured a female figure at each corner (but at image search, you can also see the bottle in transparent version). On the front you can see the first part of the fragrance name, the other part is on the side. Finished with a hemispherical lid, which shows the logo of the brand on top. A very nice bottle!Conclusion:
Soo, I think that Terres Aromatiques is a beautiful fragrance. It seems quite elegant, which makes it probably not for you fire-breathing, devilish beasts with pitchforks in your hands... :DWell well, of course you perfumas are welcome to use the scent, then at least you'll smell quite elegant while doing something totally beastly again! :DD
