Green tinted sage-violet leather fraîcheur - like "April in Paris
I like these somewhat subtle scents. Especially after I was tortured this morning a) in the supermarket queue and b) in the bakery queue twice by two(!) men with steaming vapours of.... do you want to guess or is it too simple?...- yes, with Dior's "Sauvage"
Yes, Yves Saint Laurent's "Grain de Poudre" is pleasantly medium-layered, harmonious and pleasantly spring-like fresh green. Sage is clearly recognizable, flanked by citric-soft bergamot, underscored by slightly undercooled violet and primed by a very fine touch of suede, which was used much more subtly than in "Tuscan Leather" or other heavyweights.
Suit-layer, I would say, slightly open shirt on one of the first warmer days of the year, perhaps in April, in Paris. Where the pretty melancholic jazz classic "April in Paris" by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald immediately comes to mind.
Enough curves - what I simply want to say: YSL has simply succeeded in creating a fine, round all-rounder that radiates subtlety without drifting into the banal. That's what I wished for once from "Sauvage"...
