The hayloft at the foal pasture
We run along the road. We can see the yearlings from afar. We visit them, as we do almost every day, as our riding vacation slowly draws to a close. Then we walk on. To the haystack. And romp happily in the bales. Hay and straw are stored there so that there is enough for the farm animals for a whole year. It's all still a game for us. We giggle. We tell each other secrets. We are children and enjoy the pleasures of a warm summer in beautiful Baden-Württemberg.

First Cut suddenly takes me back to one of my favorite places from childhood. This hayloft holds so many memories, with its natural smell of hay and straw, of horse pastures on warm summer days. It's a scent of security and bliss, even if it does seem a little bulky at first sniff.

Immortelle is quite present in First Cut. I can also somewhat understand the associations with exotic foods here. However, the moss and tobacco notes in the base make the fragrance feel like summery nature to me. There is also a forest nearby, where the hay is cut and the barn stands. I can also smell the horses themselves, but they are out here in a pasture. We are definitely not in a stable.

I already discovered that I like hay fragrances with Brin de Peau by Parfumeurs du Monde. Caron's wonderful Farnesiana also enchanted me with its subtle hay note. With St. Clair, the overall theme is interpreted in a more rustic way than with the other two, rather gentle and far more perfumed hay fragrances. This one conjures up summer in the countryside on the skin. For me, who has spent a lot of time in nature and with horses, it is definitely a very pleasant fragrance that makes me smile. However, I would rather buy the first-named Parfumeurs du Monde, as I would like to have a hay fragrance in my collection. But this one is also beautiful, albeit a little boyish and original.

With many thanks to Schoeibksr for the testing opportunity

Sour opening that dries down to something hairspray-like (geranium?), which ruins the rest of the fragrance for me
