Fluffy swan chick short commentary
In Black Swan, one of Guerlain's highly exclusive teuerchen, I perceive a lily of the valley note as a thread running through the fragrance, which is initially accompanied by wonderfully refreshing citrus notes. This is something creamy, even gourmandig acting, possibly plays here already the sandalwood base with in, but in total yet immensely vitalizing.
Here I think less of black or even white swans, but perhaps rather of the small sweet playful swan chicks, which are neither white nor black and quite fluffy, and which romp behind their swan mama through the water.
After about ten minutes, these citrus notes fade away far too soon, leaving the lily of the valley note, which is then piggybacked by a giant swan chick caricature called musk fluff.
That's about it, not much else happens - except that at some point along the way the lily of the valley gets lost and every now and then some sweetly creamy sandelnille shyly peeks out from its hiding place.
This fluffy musky monster seems to be Monsieur Wasser's favorite animal, as it can be found in many of his fragrances: Cologne du Parfumeur, various recent Aqua Allegorias, ...
I could turn the critter around the throat!
