A sweet gardenia dream, elegant and yet playful, heady florals with a hint of lush fruit, but it’s by no means one of the ghastly boring fruity florals dominating perfumery at the moment, no, this is lusher than life, not naturalistic, but impressionistic, something more real than real in its heady french soap and gardenia blossoms aroma. It smells of a theatrical dream of lovers meeting at night in a summer garden.
The peach and mandarin are perfectly ripe, sweeter and juicier than any real fruit has ever been. Panouge seems to have mastery of this better than reality technicolor and stage lighting dream world school of perfumery.
Ugh I’m so in LOVE.
