Why Is My Mouth Watering So Much?
If the perfume were a sensation, then L'Eau à la bouche would be a joy. Joy is lively, and it bursts, it explodes. It also sparkles. Escaping bubbles of inebriation, tangy, almost sweet. Joy has the colours of the jungle, a profusion of wet yellows, greens, and blacks. Joy sounds like a percussive cymbal, and it resonates deeply. Cécile Matton has a taste for sharing, puts mouth water like a mojito on a terrace in summer.
L'Eau à la bouche, like all the other six perfumes of the collection, was realized through essential rules, no limits to the quality of the raw materials used, minimalist packaging with paper, wood, and glass from eco-sustainable sources. The only protagonist is the fragrance that describes and enhances, in its deepest essence, an authentic and shared passion for the Art of Perfume.
Amidst the six Eau de Parfums in the collection, I fancy L'Eau à la bouche precisely for that disrespectful, cheerful, joyous nimbus that surrounds its fresh glow—engaging without constraints, disengaged in its spontaneous and devouring odorous aspect. A cocktail dosed in delight and delicacy.
The masterpiece belongs to the citric and aromatic family. It opens sour sharp with inviting graceful notes of lemon and mint that makes your mouth water, so fresh and sparkling, and it always fascinates me. In the first minutes, the cologne is citrus and green.
The heart is made more intense and intriguing by the essence of white rum, which gives it a slightly sugary but decided look. The resulting blend reminds me of a Mojito cocktail on a summer patio, with its combination of sweetness, citrus, and herbaceous mint flavours intended to complement the rum. Mojito is one of my favourites summer cocktails, together with Caipirinha.
As the boozy accord fades, as if the ice cubes have melted in it, the dry down rises, suspended in a calm slow and announced harmony of sweet exotic softness with gurjum, patchouli and sandalwood. Here there is an idea of a Cuban drink that you spin with a pencil, the rum that celebrates inebriation, the wet leaves of undergrowth, the ebony wood that flows. When it cools down, a luscious note comes up quite weird! It's not sugar, and not vanilla, not candy, and not chocolate. It's like a slightly sweetened fruit gum! I guess it's the gurjun somehow, but there is some delightful sweet note in here that changed the blend upside down and made it pleasant. The colder it goes, the more the sweet exposes and gets near to rum.
But, wait a moment, what the hell gurjun is? Gurjun balsam is an oleoresin exuded from trees of the Dipterocarpus species which grow in various parts of Asia, and it is gently warm, sweet and sophisticated. The soft fragrance is woody, sweet, dry, balsamic and resinous with hints of pine, patchouli, and camphor, and it is superbly calming and centering.
The perfume comes as an EDP, which is supposed to be longevous. On my skin, it projects smoothly, yet it lasts quite a few hours, almost all day if I wear it in the morning. The notes and the resulting accords make me reach for it during the latest warm days of spring and all summertime. It is safe for the office and suits the evening out with friends.
Stay safe; stay well.
