Wonderful - at the blue hour on my garden bench
These warm spring evenings in May and June, which announce the summer, only really hint at it, I love very much. What suddenly breaks out of the dark earth, fascinates me again and again. Sometimes in long winter months I look at my photos from last spring longingly and almost unbelievingly, can hardly believe that it once looked so rich, so colourful, so full, so intense and lively in my garden
But my experience tells me, contrary to my feeling, that spring will come again. This inexorable activity, guided by nature, will certainly return, with singing birds and humming bees, twigs in the air and flowers on the ground. Once again, buds will form, open, turn to the light and lavishly reveal their scent hidden in countless flowers. Again beetles, ants, bumble bees, dragonflies, butterflies, toads and everything that creeps and flies will claim the garden for themselves and enliven it... At the latest then I can smell and see that the colourless, bare times are over! Both the lawn, which has regained its appearance, and the bushes and trees with their green leaves form its simple yet impressive backdrop for what is to come: a fragrant splendour of colour that revives not only the garden, but also myself.
It is as if an artist had repeatedly mixed his colours on the palette and thus arbitrarily, without a plan, painted the green-brown monotony. White pink magnolias, violet lilac, blue iris, pink peony, bright red poppy, blue cornflowers, pink clover, many kinds of roses, blue lavender, white jasmine, yellow-shining St. John's wort - they all look like spots of colour on a canvas. The sun plays with light and shadow in the up and down swinging branches and leaves, and depending on its position the picture changes. A spectacle of nature that, as I said, is the most beautiful for me on warm spring evenings. My garden bench made of eucalyptus wood stands in the middle of the meadow on such evenings and on the table lies the obligatory book - a novel, a biography, a volume of poetry or perhaps an informative illustrated book about perfumes - at least the book I'm reading....
And of course I am freshly scented on such evenings, like my flowers in the garden.
For these precious moments I now prefer ALLURE. Nothing fits better for me to this special mood of an outgoing day, which I can watch calmly. The name means 'charisma' or 'elegant appearance'. I can only underline this, because it is a noble, expressive and ladylike perfume in the best sense of the word, which exudes elegance and exotic flair. Some will say it's too hard, too traditional for them. But it is neither one nor the other. I like it, I like it a lot. It gives me a touch of luxury, precisely because it is a striking and classic noble perfume. What I particularly like is that the sweetness (Bourbon vanilla) is given a certain depth by the flower bed all around, no sweet treat, but solid confectionery. That's what I like most about this perfume. This radiant fragrance composition also fits so well because it develops, continues to move over a longer period of time and never stands still. She knows different nuances - like the blue hour I like to spend on my garden bench. This is now my favorite scented robe for warm spring evenings. I feel as if it unites two different characters in itself: Clearly in the foreground are light, clear, bright, elegant and life-affirming notes and then there are also refined, hidden, dark, almost mystical tones, which only sound soft...
With his heart of vanilla ALLURE carries me from flower to flower, envelops me, is caressing, light as a feather, bright, silky and almost tender to me. In my imagination I imagine a filigree, gently flowing fabric in light beige and rose tones. A radiant perfume that suggests Cédrat and delicious mandarins to me at the beginning and with which I feel airy and happy like a butterfly. It attracts me irresistibly to all the flower scents it contains, to their beauty, aromas and colours. When I close my eyes, I hear fruity and floral as well as spicy oriental notes, accompanied by a very soft almond marzipan note... Just beautiful! I enjoy the shimmering light on honey-scented honeysuckle, on luminous jasmine, on silky-smooth magnolia blossoms, which flows out of the perfume in fine doses. I also flutter around the multi-leaved, apricot 'May Rose' in it, feel the elegance of water lilies... and I am happy. Really happy. And of course this also has to do with ALLURE.
I would like to mention two more things, namely that ALLURE never gets too loud on my skin and even with a few sprayers lasts from morning until sunset, and that the tangerine indicated in the pyramid could also be an Italian sun-ripened apricot for me, so the fruity note is more gourmandy-creamy than juicy-sweet.
# I would like to thank the dear scent friend here on Parfumo who sent me a sample.
