Citrusy saffran amber woods
I confess to you that I like this fresh creation of Rasquinet for the National Costume, but it does not fully satisfy me.
The accords of citrus fruits, Sicilian lemon peel and key lime are much too dominant and slightly unbalance the perfume.
The dominant central accord, therefore, is a metallic resinous and balsamic saffron, which mixed with the strong citrus of the opening and with a labdanum - cistus, creates the impression of the sweetness of burnt lemons on the bottom of the cooking pot.
It is an impression as dense as it is interesting to explore.
I would have liked the incense to have been much more present, but it exists, but extremely discreetly in the background, and it is already extinguished and not at all liturgical.
The perfume has a complete and perfect oriental appearance, I would rather place it in the Maghreb and Mediterranean area than in the Middle and Far East area.
This perfume is so well crafted that you can't distinguish the notes one by one.
For me it's more + this perfume and I'm glad it's part of the dion collection, even if I would have liked more smoke and more incense.
Eternal longevity and immense longevity.
It's hard to get rid of it even after showering.
It gets my recommendation for a fragrance that is almost unique in its approach.
Don't go by the opinions of those on Fragrantica, it doesn't resemble Messe de Minuit, not at all.
