who is disturbing my olfactory peace here?
Back then, they were an affordable alternative to the many brand and designer fragrances; today, they are still worth testing and getting to know better: many of the vintage fragrances from the Yves Rocher company.
They were not mere copies; they were independent fragrance personalities in the spirit of the times.
Many of the newer creations no longer convince me as much, although they are all very pleasant and wearable.
But the "old ones" - oh! They still had a certain something!
In the case of "Yria", however, this "certain something" is probably coriander, because I also have to overcome this hurdle first, which is accompanied by ripe citrus fruit aromas.
Fortunately, this note is quite fleeting on my skin; the entire top note is actually just "passing through": I don't know whether it was planned that way from the start or whether it's due to the age of my two minis.
On the other hand, "Yria" has a beautiful floral heart, lovingly composed, in which the intensely fragrant white flowers gardenia, jasmine and lily of the valley (hello, my little white fragrance friend!) unfold richly and even give the restrained magnolia blossoms and the noble rose ladies a place in their fragrance orchestra: this creates a full sound of harmonizing fragrance notes, in keeping with the even more opulent time of the last turn of the century.
Some of the glamor of the past has been carried over here.
This also characterizes the classic base with its many good acquaintances:
Warm vanilla and tonka bean accents enjoy the warm, sensual embrace of a finely animalic, earthy blend of sandalwood and golden-brown patchouli.
"Yria" is given the final touch by a well-dosed amber smoke note.
As you know, I love fragrance characters with rough edges, I am often bored by "softly rinsed" and "pleasing" fragrances.
But I had to come to terms with "Yria" for a while; that's probably why the fragrance was pretty much at the end of my Yves Rocher fragrance review list.
It's not due to the sillage or the longevity; these are within the normal average range.
We both got to know each other, touched each other, we won't become "good friends" again.
But I am sure that "Yria" will also find a place in the hearts of fragrance lovers:
As we all know, in the world of fragrances too, "every pot has a lid"!
