like a pink macaron
This almost slightly romantic scent "Paris-St. Honoré" by Stéphanie de Bruijn immediately reminds me of a pink macaron with a spicy vanilla filling; only this scent lives considerably longer on my skin than the macaron in my hand: as you know, I can't resist these little colorful things!
Yes, this scent is sweet and sweet is pink on me: here pink like the ever-so-slightly crumpled flowers of the spicy cistus that adorn these hardy, resinous bushes.
Surprisingly, benzoin is used as a resinous, smoky partner in this fragrance composition instead of the labdanum found in cistus, which sticks between its branches and leaves and is "harvested" with the help of goats.
These goats are driven through the bushes and later this aromatic resin is combed out of their fur with a wide-toothed comb.
However, this fragrant treat gets its warm and creamy sweetness from the white, aromatic and exotic vanilla, which has been tastefully refined with the fine animalic notes of amber and musk as well as skillfully used accents of pleasantly creamy sandalwood.
This rich, seemingly whipped-to-foam envelope covers a wonderful golden-brown layer of patchouli, which is not damp and dingy here, but rather earthy and spicy.
This sweetness may sound a little sticky, but it develops into a kind of cuddly body lotion during wear, which lovingly envelops and accompanies you for several hours, leaving only a subtle spicy hint at the end.
"Paris St. Honoré" is a collector's item, one of those treats that you don't like every day, but which can give you a lot of pleasure from time to time.
I opened my statement on this fragrance with "Oh, how pretty!"; I will now close with these words and will probably devote myself later to a pink macaron with a seductive vanilla filling.
