The silk underwear scent
The name is also really well chosen in this case. Silk, delicate, not necessarily a weatherproof everyday companion, translucent, noble, actually unnecessary but very expensive. That says it all in itself.
OK not quite...

The Silk stands next to all the other better designer fragrances at Douglas and Co., doesn't differ much from them, only it's a bit more expensive and a bit more discreet in its appearance. You wear it exclusively for yourself. But why not? Back to the silk theme... the silk underwear case. You don't wear them to get compliments on the street.

But if you think that The Silk is an erotic scent, you are on the wrong track. We are dealing with a delicate, very fresh and at most a bit playful floral scent. Pepper and bergamot make the prelude nice and sparkling. The former also gives the floral heart note of lily of the valley and violet a certain tingling. But the overall impression is really very subtle. The fragrance is a pure skin scent. I only notice a slightly fruity touch of pear after a few hours. The base is then creamy with tonka and musk, but still a little pepper on top.

You can see that The Silk is really high quality. I've been wearing it for 6 hours and at the beginning I thought after half an hour that it would say goodbye right away, but with hardly any sillage it stays in place anyway. In itself I like the scent very much. An elegant, almost ethereal light floral scent, but with a certain brightness due to the pepper. It should not bother you that the surroundings have absolutely nothing of the scent. And then of course the question arises, if you don't mind spending so much money for this discreet pleasure. But this is simply a matter of discretion

Fine almond cream, but very quiet
"The Silk" is not a performer who wants to attract attention. No. It's an understatement scent: you look very well-groomed, showered, creamed-in with fine almond kernel cream that smells a little sweet and powdery, but not perfumed. I don't see almonds in the fragrance pyramid, but I somehow almost only smell almonds in cream form. Very nice, very fine, very feminine and very very quietly someone would feel the scent at one unless one smells directly at the skin. That's my impression. That's why this is more of a seductive bedtime scent for certain occasions. The shelf life of the fragrance is also more Mau than Wow.
Would the scent of men be wearable? Why not. But it seems to me it's designed more for the ladies.
