Fireplace provenÇal delice
In my exploration of this brand , i am taken this time to my beloved south of France. 44ºN 03ºE features very iconic mediterranean raw materials. The result, thoug, is less pungent of what one would expect with such ingredients list, but certainly very interesting and appealing. 44ºN 03ºE (seriously, this name is beyond annoying, beacause it just doesnt say anything. Marketing, someone?) has a delightful texture, pretty much like the marron glacé that it does contain; soft, dim, sweet, rich and enveloping are adjectives that come to my mind while i am wearing this fragance. The sweet, resinous notes are well balanced with fresh-balsamic/herbaceous touches from lavender and pine. There is a terpenic glow from the juniper, but all this darker accents fade progresively so 44ºN 03ºE becomes mostly sweet,almost gourmand but never foody, quite as it happens with the 04ºN 74º W. Very suitable for winter, lasts many hours and has an appropriate sillage. As with the other creations of Richard Lüscher Britos, despite of being SO demanding on us a what it comes to remembering names and coordinates, i am quite fond of the quality of this perfume.
