A dark honey night
Yes, I know, actually it is idle to write a comment about a discontinued fragrance, but just see it as an obituary.
After I already own the normal Sensuous for some time and like it sometimes more, sometimes less (the woody notes are nice and creamy, but sometimes also quite synthetic), I now wanted to get to know the dark sister of the perfume. Of course - how could it be otherwise - the perfume had long since been discontinued (I often feel this way when I come across something interesting while researching). Nevertheless, my hunting instinct was aroused and so I got hold of a restflakon.
At the first spray, a short, heavy but velvety rose scent comes to me, like looking up at a window where a lady in a velvet dress has just scurried past before you even get to see her properly.
Maybe it's the queen of the night, too? I have indeed once as a teenager with my aunt, a passionate botanist, a real queen of the night smell, but could not say that I recognize the fragrance here.
After that, the "melted woods" (melted woods) are washed up and wash in their olfactory wave also a dark, juicy patchouli. For a moment, I even think I detect an oud note, but it's probably that wood-patchouli combo that's now fused with the rose notes of the beginning.
And then suddenly a surge of honey douses these notes, lingering for a bit, but then dissolving into the whole.
What remains is a dark, sensual, aromatic fragrance, which with niche names and marketing would certainly find many fans again today ;)
