Opium was my first great perfume love and for many years my signature fragrance
My scent lingered in place for a long time, even though I had long since disappeared.
During my studies opium improved the air in the chemistry lab and everyone knew at all times where I was or had been in the lab.
This oriental "scent bomb" surrounded me like a warm, dense cloak of spices such as cinnamon and clove, as well as tangerines and citrus fruits paired with vanilla, myrrh, frankincense and many other notes, which together create this totally unique perfume.
Already after the first spray this insane scent potpourri put me into a dream from Thousand and One Nights.
A big market in Marrakech, a huge swarm of people and fragrances and in between me: fascinated, enchanted and forever decaying.

My biology teacher always wore a perfume that is still unknown to me today. As a child, this fragrance clearly belonged to biology and the skeleton, which was always a little lost and eerily standing in the corner.
When years later I encountered this scent again, I was irritated and immediately thought of Willi, the skeleton.
Fragrances bring back memories...
My first encounter with L'Instant took place in a clothing store.
An elderly lady had a similar taste to me and had grabbed the sweater seconds before me and disappeared in the changing room dragging a penetrating scent cloud behind her.
She decided against the part and of course I was there immediately.
That sweater was a dream, if only there hadn't been that foul smell.
For me, it was the epitome of an old wives' perfume, unfortunately I bought the piece, but never wore it, because the scent was still present after washing.
Years later, as an absolute Guerlain fan instead of Insolence, I accidentally ordered L'Instant and from then on the child had a name.
I would like to analyze what is disturbing me so massively, but I can't do it
Jasmine? Amber? Benzoin? The composition as such?
I can't understand why this scent is so popular, it just makes me sick
