Complex homage to ripe plums
Yesterday we went to the opera Carmen by Bizet. Great production and cast and a welcome occasion for me to apply the H - The Exclusive Parfum pH. I'm sure you could have chosen a different fragrance, but I thought it might fit.
And yes, it fit. I hardly noticed the top note. Although the citric start is perceptible, the plum starts very early and citric notes and sweet juicy ripe plum wrestle for a while. In this phase I was insecure, it didn't smell really good at first. But then the plum wins. It doesn't remind me of plum jam, because it also contains spices that the Exclusive perfume doesn't contain. It is rather the plum compote made from real plums, which I loved to eat as a child with my grandmother and, which was the most delicious, sipped the juice from the polished glass bowls.
Cistus rose and plum provide a great interplay. And this with really much strength and emphasis.
While the love confusions of Carmen and the exemplary and conscientious soldier Don José became more and more tied up, woody notes, a slightly leathery oud and stabbing vetiver burst into the plum cistus harmony.
Similar to the proud torero Escamillo, who only brought the love happiness of the two protagonists to a quick end with his performance. And it may sound too kitschy, but now the scent and the plot are really turning up.
Plum, cistus, oud and sometimes warmer and sometimes more pungent notes of wood and vetiver struggle for attention. That's exactly what I love about complex fragrances, a small body movement and another need prevails, only to be replaced by another fragrance the next moment. But again and again comes the fruity plum, which provides for harmonious balance.
Hardly anyone in my row in the opera, including two rows in front of and two rows behind me, might have perceived Carmen after this evening as Bohemia working in the cigarette factory (or may one still say gypsy in relation to an opera?). After this evening the friends of culture were surely convinced to have met Carmen as a picker in the bustle of love on an Andalusian plum plantation.
This Exclusive perfume has a lot that excites me. Stay on the wish list and I will now probably always associate the fragrance with this opera. And thanks to the strong Sillage, probably not just me.
