It could have been so beautiful or: From Jil Sander SUN to Impulse vanilla deodorant
After the many great reviews here I have treated myself to the fragrance as a blind purchase - the fragrance pyramid I found appealing, could fit. As usual, he wandered first on a paper strip, and also this fragrance has made it onto my skin.
Top notes: citrusy bergamot, paired with slightly sweet currants and pear, the roses come through easily. After sniffing three times, I immediately think of Jil Sander SUN. At least in the top note, the two have an extreme similarity for me.
The heart note develops quickly, the citrus of the bergamot goes, also the currant disappears into the background. Roses and jasmine emerge, vanilla, tonka and benzoin are sniffable in the background. Together with the pear quite nice - it smells not bad, but it does not knock me now also so from the stool that I want to constantly sniff my arms or the paper strip.
The heart note starts to wear off rapidly after about 3 hours. The vanilla-ambroxan blend comes through more and more. At some point, it just smells like the impulse deodorant Vanilla Kisses to me. At least after how it smelled in the late 90s - that's when my neighbor used it all the time. I find the vanilla extremely artificial, it smells a bit like the deodorant was applied to sweaty armpits. Patchouli comes through minimally, but I don't smell woods here.
My conclusion: the fragrance is not intrusive, in between it always has nice hints. The pungent artificial vanilla base, which spreads but then quite unfortunately I do not like.
Too bad - we both will probably not warm. It could have been so beautiful with us.
