I don't know how a perfume that if I think about it rationaly she can be so original, but the emotions she evoques in me are so bland and generic
I need to try this one with colder weather, I feel I can make more justice to her, but well, what I smelled yesterday in a very hot spring day:
I still don't know if I consider this one very original and beautiful or very generic and bland, that's why I feel the weather can play its part here.
At first smell she is beautiful. I was attended by a very knowlodgeable woman who seems to have similar tastes to me and I wanted to smell Babylone because I thought it was going to be more a dreamful vanille and she warned me to try too Constantinople because I was going to be surprised. He told me that in her skin Babylone doesn't work but she loves Constantinople and she was totally right.
Babylone, on paper, is a beautiful elegant soft cinamon and other things, sweet but elegant, but in my skin is like burned rubber, super strong and masculine. Constantinople, by other hand, is more vanillic sweet, but not your typicall yellow vanille. This one draws in my mind a very interesting colour palet of purples and pinks that I have never seen before if that have any sense. I think I have sinestesia because when I smell a perfume, I see very clearly different colours and this one I can't figure what was but I have never smelled before an oriental warm perfume with purple and blue undertones(???) because that seems contradictory, but here we are.
The problem is the more I smelled it, the more sweeter it became. I think it is the iris because the only iris so far I can wear without headaches is Francesca Bianchi's heavenly buttery iris. But here, the perfume was getting sweeter, more traditional feminine, more boring. Vanille+iris was becoming too much for me, not at the level of Aqua di Parma's Mandorlo di Sicilia -that one is headache inducing- but.... I was not feeling it and a perfume has to make me feel something, speak to my soul, and I supose this one is not for me, but for the price she has, she remembered me a generic boring burgoise woman. I don't know how a perfume that if I think about it rationaly she can be so original, but the emotions she evoques in me are so bland and generic. Perfumery is a mistery to me an that's why I love it!
The duration is mediocre. I don't think it lasted on my skin more than 4h but I was wearing more perfumes on my skin so this is not the most trustworthy way of tasting this.
Damn, I am ancient history nerd so I wanted too much to like Babylone or Constantinople because I love the stories setled in them, but I suppose english colonialism has ruined them lol xD. Surprisly, the sales woman recomended to me Solaris too and this one was better, so next parade: Solaris!
