Chypre Rouge, 15 years later............
First of all...
So that's how I came here 3 weeks ago, when I was harmlessly dawdling around on the web looking for an exquisite myrrh perfume...
Since then, I read through this community almost every day, totally inspired by the brilliant comments, wonderfully talented storytellers and descriptions of fragrances. I have been completely flashed by you scent maniacs and am so glad to find so many sisters and brothers in spirit. I've been to the souk
But now to Chypre Rouge, a fragrance that entered the collection over 15 years ago, after my Guerlain phase was replaced by Serge Lutens phase.
CR was the 5 or 6 scent of Lutens and proved to be a total bad buy the second time you used it. I found the fresh head appealing, but where are the beeswax and honey I bought it for? Instead, an increasingly strange, unclassifiable smell developed, which stood there like a wall, as if it was blocking my way to honey and beeswax Until it dawned on me: it's licorice, a wall of licorice, for God's sake, they've poured licorice into the perfume... Help me, it smells like liquorice.
The frustrating taste of my childhood. I never understood why people can be addicted to licorice. The sweetness of licorice was for me the most turn-off, frustrating and tiring childhood experience of all sweets. An aunt brought us this terrible "bear droppings", as it is also called here, once a year from the USA in the sixties, beaming with joy.
But! Because of this community, three hours ago I took this unloved fragrance child out of my perfume cabinet after so many years and just sniffed at the lid. You get more relaxed and generous over the years about everything... Okay. Just a little spray on the back of the hand and wait.
Well, what can I say, the liquorice smell is not as annoying as it was 15 years ago. Actually, he has become mild in old age and fits into something bigger, something different. The longer I sniff the perfume becomes more and more harmonious and round. It seems to me today that the floweriness of jasmine effortlessly combines all the components and brings them into harmony. Okay, I'm okay with that. Honey and beeswax are still missing, but that's not what I'm interested in today.
