"Going to Shower....."
I don't know if that's still the custom today, but in my youth there were countless, rather stupid versions of the Beatles classic "Yesterday". So my life partner also invented one and always liked to recite it to me when I had just come from the riding stable. "Go take a shower, I finally have to go take a shower again, I come home and I stink of horse..." he would sing, and then I knew, okay, I really shouldn't necessarily stay like that, he doesn't like that.
The fact is, the stable, in which I went during my study 1x per week to the riding hour and rode school horses, was also not the Allersaubererste. Keyword mattress manure. Only the visible excrement of the proud animals is removed. Everything else stays in. That saves bedding and keeps you nice and warm in winter. And it was exactly this smell that got stuck in my clothes and hair and I brought it home with me weekly, so - take a shower.
With Under My Skin unfolds after a first medical start, which initially makes me think of hospitals and dental offices, exactly this smell. Acrid ammonia mixed with the natural smell of a horse. Without that ammonia-like note, which I can only speculate as to which ingredient causes it, we would have a subtle, relatively authentic smell of a horse stable. And this one lingers, too. With the animalics of musk, castoreum and ambergris employed here, I'm not with humans at all, but clearly with animals. This is what warm horse fur smells like. Many other reviewers had already mentioned the typical Bianchi fur note. In Under My Skin, it is appropriately pronounced and even very pleasant to my nose once the initial surge of mattress has dissipated.
I can only guess at the numerous florals incorporated here. Iris butter I still let pass. I can perceive. But what connects the fragrance for me also clearly with the riding stable and just not the human togetherness, are the base notes, which provide here for a fine and warm sweetness. Especially vanilla, tonka and tolu balsam make me once again think of leather care oil or grease, which is also abundantly used in riding stables. The pronounced beeswax note as in Mane is missing here, but it is enough for the association of saddle care. A little reminds me this fine-sweet stock also of the lip balm of Weleda, if someone knows.
Yeah, I admit it. I kind of like what I perceive here. Even though it would be unthinkable for me to perfume myself with a scent like Under My Skin. Unless maybe I want to intentionally annoy my partner so he'll go back to singing "go shower....."
Many thanks to my dear Basti for the sample. Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be a review, but I hope you still enjoyed reading it.
