Volume 2: Precision and Grace

Tender, yet strong, The Beautiful Mind Series Volume 2 is an addictive scent. Featuring distinctive pink pepper and musky sandalwood the scent is full-bodied and confident: perfect to make a striking statement.

I am delighted to have received two spray samples of A Beautiful Mind Series fragrances in my August H2BAR Box! I had heard of these fragrances, of course, but I have no idea how long it would have been before I'd gotten the opportunity to try them. I am thrilled that a subscription box includes non-mass market scents, and I find the concept of celebrating intellect and memory to be inspiring and fun. It's also wonderful that the fragrances honor amazing people. Precision & Grace is the long-awaited Vol. 2 in The Beautiful Mind Series and it honors Polina Semionova. a Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre. Precision & Grace truly reminds me of a fragrance from my ballet school days...Pavlova perhaps? Or maybe it's pure suggestion, which is, of course, part of the point of celebrating memory through fragrance. In addition to the scent of my my inner ballerina, this brings to mind Quelque Fleurs l'originale, although I doubt it smells anything like it. Precision & Grace is a deceptively delicate floral with a juicy beginning, and lots of plum and mimosa as it developes. The pear is quite distinctive, and I am, unfortunately, not a fan of pear notes. Overall this is a peppery, elegant fruity floral that wears easily in warm weather.

Its a fruity floral, not much else to say! Very easy to wear and hard ti believe others wouldnt like it, very safe. Edit: this lasts for weeks, holy cow!

UPDATE: I ordered this! Excited, and a little anxious to receive it and wear it on me again. I remember loving it in Germany, but when at home, I hope it will smell as good This definitely smells like something I've smelt before, but I can't remember what... Maybe Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women... Or maybe Chanel Chance Fraoche? In the opening, while those notes in one of the two mentioned above disappear fast, in this, they last throughout the whole wear-time. It's quite pleasant and unisex. I probably prefer this over Intelligente and Fantacy, which has quite a strong bitter note on me. I smelt them both while in Hamburg (Germany). Otherwise, this, as the other Molecule and Beautiful Mind perfumed, is monotone: it stays pretty much the same throughout the wear-time. This can be good or bad - depends on what you like

It's the same that I smelt in aHamburg, Germany, where I really liked this. However, I think this one is a little too sweet for me where I live (Norway). It seems like this perfumes is better in more humid conditions. To me, the prominent note is plum and osmanthus. I DO like the smell, but as I wrote earlier, it has no depth on me. I KNOW that it's now only top notes in there though, but the top notes is the only thing I smell - thwy completely cover the rest. You will need some humidity to smell any of the other notes (jasmin and fresia), and winter where I live is just not the weather for this. I wouldn't recommend to purchase this without smelling it first. Now I'm trying to sell my bottle, as I feel the perfume is a bit too expensive for the impression it gives on me :/
