Description
I first caught it from a tiny porcelain gift to my mum that came with a small bottle of the perfume.
I gave her my Vol du Noit EDT as I got the perfume propeller bottle for Christmas and I like it much better and won’t wear.For your mental association, we may thank the way McDonald's and other institutional restrooms/toilets have often used a faux-cherry scented room deodorizer since the 1960's.
Upon first spray, I was wrongly under the impression that it was similar to Chanel No 5, but soon it settled into the softest, ethereal dry downs.I got a sample of the vintage perfume and it breaks my heart that full bottles of the perfume are no longer for sale. I thought I’d never get on with it but it opened out to a very interesting violet/floral note with some spicy background from the cloves.
I readily accept that this could be just me, as I get various public-toilet scents off the top of Louve and Fleurs de Citronnier too—both of which I love. However, it seems pretty clear to me that many perfumes and other scented products that followed have adopted a similar note profile. There's a radiant kaleidescope of cherry-pie-play-doh heliotrope, anisaldehyde-heavy aniseed, parma violets, spicy carnation, and cool and watery iris.Add to it the signature Guerlain vanilla, which is not sickly sweet and spices, which take some time to appear from the background.
a farinaceous note of either oatmeal or cornmeal, which imbues the whole scent with a decided "sweet bakery dough" feeling.
I wouldn't say that this smells old, necessarily, or synthetic, but for many, the olfactory associations are going to be off-putting.
