Kraut classic
Ma Griffe, like so many other bottles before her, came to me from my grandmother. For years, one bottle stood in the cellar. I took the Sleeping Beauty with me to Berlin
From start to finish, Ma Griffin is herbaceous, due to the interplay of aldehydes and green notes. I would identify the latter as ivy, but only for lack of a better idea. In the beginning there are still lemon, asant(reminiscent of onion) and clary sage. Flowery hints are provided by gardenia and orange blossom, maybe some iris root is still hiding in the background. Sandalwood smoothes some edges without being too necessary, gives a creamy touch. The base of oak moss and vetiver is relatively early visible, but never superficial. Not mentioned notes never showed up in several tests. No sweet incense. No rose. No cinnamon.
When I read all this I see: Ma Griffe is my first experience with the chypre family. Interesting, yes, but on the other hand this perfume has given a lot of wearability. I was urged to dispose of the bottle...
I don't care, I'll keep testing from time to time. Maybe I can revise my rating soon. Let's hope so.
