Timeless - Antique Soul Comforting Pleasure
This fragrance is one of the most fascinating ever.
It is minimally spicy, strongly powdery and soft, but distinctly floral. I wish I could wear it once in St. Petersburg at the time of the so-called white nights.
As white nights, nights are called, in which the sun goes down only very briefly. A day has then on average 19 hours and it should be only slightly dim or even light. It must be a very special atmosphere. L'Heure Bleue is my imaginary epitome of this interesting phenomenon. There is a slight melancholy resonating in this powderiness, which is very natural here and comes from the violet note.
For me, it's a very feminine scent, as it reminds me of the scent of high-quality lipsticks, especially the smell of lipsticks from the Estée Lauder brand. Both anise and bergamot are clearly felt in the top note.
The bergamot gives here only a hint of freshness and remains rather dry. The anise note gives the overall work the necessary twist. Remotely, the fragrance reminds me of rummaging in antique shops, Earl Grey in the cold winter and a mood that arises when I treat my secretary with furniture polish. Time just stops for a moment.
Here, this perfume enjoys great popularity, but in general you rarely smell it, although it is as wearable today as it was in 1912, the year the Titanic was born and also died. A legend, which is also still remembered today.
The art nouveau flacon represents the fragrance excellent. From a purely chronological point of view, Gustav Klimt, who has been dormant since 1918, could have known the fragrance. His paintings "The Kiss" or even "Lady with Fan" capture the atmosphere that radiates L'Heure Bleue for me wonderfully. The curved corners of the bottle remind me distantly of the Guimard entrance of the Paris Métro.
This fragrance writes history just as the painter Gustav Klimt, Hector Guimard, Dostoyevsky or even Tolstoy.
To Anna Karenina this fragrance would have fit in any case.
I hope you enjoy this little olfactory journey through time.
