very special summer resort in transit
At these midsummer temperatures "Moroccan tea" - green tea with mint - is my daily companion. At least one filling of the 1.5 litre teapot lands in me every day.
Those who know me as a tea lover also know that I am interested in extraordinary tea-based fragrances.
So of course "Teazzurra" from the Aqua Allegoria series by Guerlain came under my nose.
First of all, I read "Terrazzo" all the time instead of "Teazzurro".
It also turns out that this "Freudian slip-up" is not at all completely absurd: "Terrazzo tiles" are floor tiles that have been used as decorative floors since antiquity through the artistic addition of colourful components; in contrast to waxed, sanded and polished tiles.
A little bit artificial "Teazzura" seems to me too.
The slightly bitter opening is certainly due to grapefruit and yuzu.
I also had to read what Yuzu is and what you can expect from this fruit.
It is described as bitter-sour, so it goes well with the slightly bitter grapefruit and forms a skilful transition to the acidity of the lemon.
Bergamot completes this fresh summery, slightly cool greeting.
The aromatic green tea, it has drawn a trace too long, adapts well to this fruity overture. So far all aromatics fit together very well.
Jasmine should never be missing from green tea: this always very welcome white-flowering tea sets very fragrant accents here as well.
The violet does its best to round off this floral note.
(Why do I only think of violet pastilles again?)
A warm vanilla sound and a musky note complete this fragrance symphony.
I liked the head and heart note very much in the interaction, so this basis alienates me again.
Musk and vanilla just don't go with these citric scents for me.
I've stumbled across this combination before.
Actually, I had hoped that Guerlain would find a solution here that would not remind me of cracked cream.
I'm afraid this citric-vanilla-moschu scent composition and I won't be "Best Buddys" anymore.
And I have now learned that it is probably better to avoid this partnership.
That's my personal assessment.
"Teazzurra" really isn't a bad fragrance; it's fresh and cool and certainly an ideal companion if you like these fragrance arrangements.
Teazzurra" shares the shelf life with many other summer fragrances.
Even Guerlain can't change this: a more frequent after-spraying is recommended; can even be very welcome for head and heart notes with their skilful melange.
I'm sure "Teazzurra" will find a lot of friends and we won't miss me in the line of those.
My neighbour likes everything that is citric and fresh and she also has a very strong affinity for musk vanilla bases. Not always to my enthusiasm, as I mentioned here from time to time.
So this filling of "Teazzurra" ends up with her and will certainly meet with more sympathy there than with me.
That's good and right!
Friendships can not be forced and mere sympathy is a little bit to live with each other because of the multitude of scents around us.
So, no offense and "Bon voyage, Teazzurra"!
