Edelweiss

I received a discovery kit from Jillian Switzerland. Edelweiss was not on my radar, but it sure is now! I have never experienced a perfume like this. Completely unique. Research shows Edelweiss is an elusive flower to capture in perfumery. They say it is a fantasy note. Even so, I can picture the green hills of Scandinavia, dotted with these pretty little white blooms. The air is fresh and cool. Sun warming my tipped face as I simply breathe. I do get tiny wisps of blueberry here and there, which I find elusive, too. Tiny little sweet and tart wild blueberries. It's like they are in my periphery. If I look for them, they vanish. Little cold ghost blueberries. This is so well blended and I cannot pick out the other individual notes. Just a lovely concoction. I am Swedish and Finnish, but far removed from that land by generations. This perfume tugs at something deep inside of me. It is comforting and calming and it feels like home. It seems like I was destined to smell like this.

Soft, calm, and elegant. The citrus gives a gentle brightness at the opening, followed by airy florals that feel clean and slightly watery. It has a peaceful, almost meditative quality that makes it very comforting to wear. Feminine, delicate, and perfect for spring/summer time. Easily my favorite from the discovery set I've tried by Jillian Switzerland.
