A sweet short pleasure
It is a clean honey with a toasted twist: I associate it with chestnut honey, sweet but with a bitter note. At the opening, a hint of dried fruit emerges, especially toasted hazelnuts, together with something that vaguely recalls the aroma of an english amber beer, just tapped. Very greedy for those who love these aromas and tastes. Then it fades in intensity settling on a more balanced background where some glow of light given by the flowers appears: a barely hinted tuberose (that I don't know if I feel it by suggestion or because it is so well integrated that it just fits wonderfully). The power of this perfume is its synaesthetic ability to suggest the consistency of honey and its amber transparency: you can see through it, but the lens deforms taking on spiralized contours due to the extreme fluidity. You would spend hours watching it spin, slowly, forming ephemeral balls. Exactly like the music of Slowdive, fluid, dreamy, "viscously sweet": it imprisons you in a kind of moving sand (the guitars distorted beyond belief / the fluidity of honey) surrounding you with a trail of hypnagogic stars of light (the angelic voice of the singer / floral notes). An experience worth doing is getting intoxicated by Slowdive listening to Slowdive! Persistence is very weak: it lasts two hours on my skin.
