What was sand two weeks ago
What was sand pretty much two weeks ago with the corresponding fun factor, is snow today. Zurich is under a white cover, for the second time this year. I take it as bye-bye of the warmest winter we had since coca cola was invented.
Thus, focusing my coffee mug for about 5 min, a sleeping brain on my neck, with not much more than the key functions on such as heart beating and lungs breathing, realizing how white things are this morning, I went for some spices and orange flower and airy woods: L’eau d’épices.
In its latest version. Diluted to 10%, after a good month’s maturation.
Vero approved.
Loving it!
It got definitely better, slightly softer, without loosing its wild character (spices!) and masculine touch. Spices being clove, cinnamon, cardamon, coriander. The orange flower (although the absolute it is not indolic at all, more on the neroli side) is fixed quite nicely and balanced new by an orris line that brings out the woody aspects from frankincense, vetiver. The latest mod was diluted a few days ago and need to see how it matures in dilution, but so far: Nice.

Andy, I recently read a couple of review of rêverie au jardin on Basenotes.com and didn’t realize that it was going to be able to be worn by both men and women. Originally, the concept sounded very feminine. After reading the review, it sounds more unisex. It sounds wonderful. Can I order it yet?

Dear Kelly, good afternoon and thank you for telling me about the basenotes discussion. I haven’t come across it, yet.
Well, I think Rêverie au jardin is definitely unisex and can easily be worn by both men and women. I think it develops wonderfully on men’s and women’s skin. I must tell you that I am somewhat biased, but I find it one of my best….
Can you order it yet: No, not yet, I am sorry. It will officially be available from Luckyscents, LuiLei and Tauer Perfumes my other distributors by April 21st.
April 21st is also the day when I am in NY, with LuiLei, a couple of days later I’ll be in Hollywood with Luckyscents.
Thus…. you need to wait some 30 more days, but trust me, it is worth waiting for….
