Delicate porcelain
"Ming Shu" reminds me that one of my aunts had a coffee service made of very fine porcelain. This was served on special occasions and otherwise kept in the glass cabinet.
As children we were instructed to be careful with it, as it was fragile and, most importantly, dated from the late 19th century.
So it was pretty wet. It showed a fine flower pattern in light blue and light pink with green tendrils on an egg-shell ground. If one held the cups or cake plates against the lamp, one could see the light shimmering through. For me "Ming Shu Fleure Rare" is the fragrant service of my aunt Lina.
Delicate roses combine with the bright aromas of lily of the valley, the "translucent", almost spherical scent of water lilies and jasmine. All this on a light beige background of delicate wood aromas.
I don't know if the coffee cover still exists and haven't thought about it for ages because my aunt lived far away and hasn't lived for about 10 years.
But the fine scent of "Ming Shu" (which sounds Chinese, and in China porcelain was invented)
retrieves the reminder.
It is a pity that the scent disappears so quickly, after about 2 to 3 hours it is almost "gone". As fleeting as some, though beautiful memories.

Ming Shu Fleur Rare
Ming Shu is a lighter less cloyish sibling to Alfred Sung's Shi. the opening starts with green sour apple
but in a few seconds a musky interlude
makes it's presence peach i don't notice it. waterlilies drifts silently
in the backround and the drydown of rain soaked woods ends this quiet fragrance unfortunly this does not last
on me.

an occidental revisionist of the far east in a bottle nice yes but it sells
short i'll stick to Shi Instend.
