A sacred powdered sugar bomb
What did I do? Inspired by the reviews at Parfumo, I dared a blind buy. I'm jittery. Yes, because I'm holding my package with my latest haul. Was it wise? I have no idea. That will probably reveal itself to me in a moment.
At least I have struck at a special offer. The pain of a bad purchase can thus be diminished a little bit. I hope. I hope very much.
I can not cut open the package fast enough. Positively, I notice first of all that the perfumery has packed me nicely equal to four samples. I'll take care of that later.
My actual perfume is well protected. Carefully I take it out of the package. Free it from the plastic wrap. Now the really noble black-gold packaging stands before me. The most expensive perfume that I have ever afforded - so far.
As a newbie, I'm just starting to explore the expensive niche fragrances. With "Baccarat Rouge 540" I have also only struck at a special offer and also only allowed me the small travel set. "Athalia" - finally - you're there. Still fast the cover off. And then sniff ...
The first thing that strikes me is how intense the cap smells without having sprayed so far. Smells nice powerful strong and intense. The first spray and BOOM. Without warning. Immediately the sacral powdered sugar bomb goes off.
The bitter orange I do not smell out. Instead, the incense envelops the rose - not tenderly - not gently, but demanding and demanding. Ohhhhhhhh, what a scent?! The rose incense powder blend is simply heavenly. It overwhelms me. And - I let myself fall.
Associations of one of my few church visits come up. As a little girl, I went on pilgrimage with the Catholic part of my family to a small chapel at Easter. It is located on a hill in a small farming village in Carinthia. Everything was very devout. Inside the chapel, a man dressed in long black and white robes strode through the narrow aisles. In his hands was a censer. He waved it back and forth until the whole chapel was enveloped in the clouds of incense that smelled suspiciously like "Athalia". This fragrance named after a pagan queen in a church. What a sacrilege.
But the decisive something was missing in the church at that time. This sensuality that "Athalia" exudes. Sensuality coupled with sexiness - barely held in check by the powdery iris and the warm orange blossom. I languish. Fogged by these fragrances, I fear I can only babble stupid stuff. Again I sniff my wrist. I cannot stop. No, I don't want to stop. Addicted. It makes me addicted.
Even though I don't identify cashmeran, suede and vetiver. Do the amber and vanilla embrace the rest of the fragrance notes and ground the incense so it can't dissipate. Only slowly do the fragrance notes ebb away. This durability and sillage are fantastic.
I will protect this fragrance like my secret treasure. Meeeeeeeeeeeinnnnnnnn shaaaaaaaaaattzzz. Mine, mine, mine!
Bottom line, you have to love incense with this scent. Not just a little bit. But him really and truly love. He is just too overwhelming.
Who can wear this fragrance? For me, a fragrance for "more mature" women. Clearly a going out fragrance. The fragrance for a queen - proud, beautiful and confident. Sounds like a cliché - yes.
So what!
P.S. You can certainly imagine that I did not regret the blind purchase. :-)
