Allégresse

I was absolutely convinced, without even having tested it, that I would buy the green one. Who knows why? On paper, for fern and pistachio.. Eventually I succumbed to a spell and went home with Allégresse in the very fragrant perfumery's paper bag, instead. From my linguistic reminiscences I was pretty sure it meant cheerfulness, joy. Strange, because my happyness has vanished as soon as I sprinkled myself with this [meditative, subtly austere, melancholic, nostalgic] singular and simple elixir the whole bust, before telling the salesgirl: 'oh yes, I choose this'. I chose Allégresse because there's an austere autumn mist in its beautiful bottle, that’s mysteriously gloomy but bright. There's my silent meditation on the many things that build my life every day, piece by peace, without making noise, with a few inevitable little scratches, and gladness. Adorable and sublime.♤♠️

Vegetal greenness; petitgrain, bergamot rinds, hyacinth stalks (stems not the flowers per say), and cassis. Imagine a lawn with the aforementioned notes that's been freshly mowed. Brisk and perfect for hot weather, clean and refreshing without being an aquatic. Running errands all day and will be decanting some in a travel spray to take along. Definitely sits just at arms length.

A wonferdul hyacinth perfume, so elegant, fresh, airy and spoiling with sublime florals, it makes me feel special all the time wearing it, although it porjects moderately, I smell it myself each time I move my head or my body during the day, such a comforting and luxurious feeling, I simply love that fragrance a d my days carrying it, it truely makes me happy

I adore this perfume and clearly feel bergamote as the highest note (my personal perception). I am a big fan of green/citrus scents, and this one sits perfectly in hot and cold seasons. The only problem is: NOT strong enough, doesn't last if sprayed on skin. Stays better on clothes.

something about this perfume is so nostalgic to me, and i can't put my finger on it! whatever subterranean childhood memories the notes in this are triggering, it's mysteriously delightful; strangely-familiar.
