Narciso Sublime

Comprato nell'estate del 2007 e ho ancora. Profumo che mette di buon umore,solare, estivo e arioso. Puo ricordare Amarige di givenchy. Ha dei toni arancio/albicocca, non si riescono a sentire e sezionare le singole note come vedo che invece fanno tanti,che sentono le arance,le rose...bah.. Non capisco chi resta deluso dalle fragranze dell'erbolario perchè crede di trovare chissà cosa. Nono sono male,sono economiche e abbastanza buone.

Realmente sublime, un vero e proprio capolavoro. Sostanzialmente posso riassumere questa essenza in una miscela di fiori avvolti nel miele e nel talco. Top, uno dei migliori de L'Erbolario. <3

Narciso Sublime is not sublime at all, shares no resemblance with the actual flower ( Narcissus Poeticus ), which is way sweeter, this is only perfume-y in a very generic way, sharp and synthetical green, it reminds me of cheap deodorants in vogue in the past. The body products are better, though. After Caprifoglio, another delusion...

Talc. Pure talc and Honey. also a bit bitter but quite suffocating. More Iris than Narcissus. More talc than else. Ambery. Old fashion but appreciable for that. 1800 style. Nice. Oriental Remember me Padmini classic incense bar. chemical as hell. About L'Erbolario: A lot of people think that, as is called L'erbolario, they use herbs natural essences... ahah. Nothing of more far from the truth. Only who declare to make botanical fragrances (maybe) use real natural oils. And for 20 euros per bottle you can not think to find more than a drop of natural lavender maybe. Even a perfume you pay 250 euros can not have natural ingredients. But this is another story. a story of marketing "if you priced something very high people will think that he has an high cost of production." but is not so. it is a red herring.

I tested this today in a pharmacy shop. It is a burst of florals in the beginning, ripe, yellow sunlit and juicy scented florals (there are pleasant notes of peach and orange flowers), similar to the beginning of powerhouse florals (like for ex. Red Door). The smell of narcissus comes later on, when the scent settles, the slight sweetness almost disappears and just a hint of the bitter note characteristic of the narcissus flower itself comes forth to stay. I consider this scent good for a florals lover, to be worn in spring and summer, to work too. Lasting power on me is about 4 hours.
