A mid 90s scent
The mid 90s, to me, is a period with an overweight of beautiful linear fragrances with few notes. Simplicity and back to quiet. I suppose some may disagree and this is not the whole picture, but this is how I remember it. At least I remember a change from the 80s’ strong flower-bombs to something way more quiet. It was like fashion turning down the volume.
Innocence is in my opinion a typical mid 90s’ scent: Sour, flowery, powdery… that is Innocence to my nose. Not much ado. The sour comes first. Not a bad, but a different sour. Like sharp citrus fruit, the feeling of picking the peel of a lemon. Then especially the rose and violets come to play and that combo is even more odd. It stays sour but in a flowery way. Finally, the warmer, more powdery feeling ends the journey. All in all a great tour… But…
Actually, the fragrance is not the reason why I bought this. It was, as often before, the bottle. Minimalistic, organically shaped an opaque. I really like it. I do not know how to describe the shape of the bottle. It looks hand crafted by a glass blower, a sculpture of some sort. A work of art, definitely.
113/365
