Memory of a 104 year old
Angelo describes this fragrance as a tribute to his grandmother, her kindness and her love for chypre fragrances. And with this, he has truly memorialized her: a fragrance image full of affection. With my eyes closed, I smell the flowers in grandmother's embrace. The light as it shines through the curtains of her living room window. I am part of the scented picture in which the child bundles her memories, filled with security.
The fragrance reminds me in its deep emotionality of Après l'Ondée without the violet and actually quite different... but melancholic, in loving memory, absolutely wearable, although Angelo describes it as a work of perfume art, not a perfume. The perfumer has created here a memory of his grandmother Angeliki, who lived to be 104 years old. And every year on the anniversary of her death, a batch of 104 bottles is to be released - what a wonderful gesture, with which the memory is always updated and the love for this person lives on forever. There is simply nothing more to say about this, except to bow in humility before his generosity, to be allowed to participate olfactorically in this private experience, to let oneself drift and enjoy the beauty of the fragrance.
And yet it is absolutely wearable, has classical borrowings, with unspeakable depth and smells simply beautiful, floral and inviting. The myriad of fragrance notes are complex and at the same time very harmoniously interwoven, carried by aldehydes and friendly animalics. It's hard for me to smell them out individually, though I think I'm most likely to detect lilac and freesia and the comfort of well-woven resins and beeswax - the mood is very loving and beautiful.
I wore it in the evening, and the next morning I can still clearly smell garden carnation on my shirt alongside floral memories on a subtle skin note.
To my good fortune, I note, because the carnation can be too much for me already times, and so it saves me from throwing my good intentions overboard and chasing after this rare piece...
(with all dearest thanks to Gandix for the opportunity to get to know this noble and special fragrance)
