Chasing Memories

Do not let the weird bottle put you off, this is a glorious perfume, and one of my favourite discoveries of 2020, (and I tried about 200+ niche perfumes in 2020). Collecting samples was my covid stay-at-home passion hobby, and still is. This perfume has now become a favourite of mine and my husband's. Completely unisex, so uplifting, refreshing. It's a gorgeous bergamot lemon opening, reminds me of a high quality Berganot perfume I buy whenever I visit Menton, in France. This citrus does not disappear or recede like a top note normally does, it has wonderful staying power, I can wear this for a hour, and it's still there in the forefront, making me smile. It's wrapped in a soft, lingering, heavenly musk that softens the citrus edges. Probably what makes this so unisex. It's like a soft orange blossom and gentle musk cloud around a bergamot heart. Like peeling the fruit, making a pie and adding meringue. I'm wearing it as I write this...Gosh this is lovely. I have a full bottle and will likely order a back up. If this perfume house was bigger and more well known, this would become a classic. Alas, it's a tiny niche maker and I'm afraid his masterpiece will get lost in the fray.... do try it before it's gone.
