Love is coming... Chapter II

It's been very strange. I have not been in the mood to write about any fragrance at all. I have tried something new almost every single day. I have so many that are being sent to me or I am purchasing myself that I have become a little bit overwhelmed. I'm not sure if that is the reason or if I just haven't found anything particularly moving. I think I needed to get back to the basics. And for some reason, the different company Love is coming chapter 2 has done that for me. It is the perfect backyard garden fragrance. I like to think of a backyard garden as a place to relax and to reconnect with nature. It provides physical Health as well as mental health and I might even say spiritual health. It doesn't have to be complicated either. It can be just you and your plants. How you take care of them is entirely dependent upon you and it is very obvious once your results come in how well you in fact did take care of your plants and yourself. This fragrance is exactly that. Nothing more nothing less. Opening the door to your backyard, you receive a faint smell of tomato plants and pepper plants. That's also what you get here. Very realistic. Upon walking either around your garden or through your garden, you start to smell the floral aspect coming from either your flowers, from your vegetables or the rose bushes you planted around it. When you put this fragrance up close to your nose, you experience that beautiful sweet rose mixing with geranium and black currant. I feel like Matthew has had personal experience when it comes to gardening because of how well he executed this concept. Nothing is overdone or under done for that matter. It's a very realistic and pleasant experience. I initially thought that this was going to be about romantic love, but I think I was mistaken. This is about the love the Earth provides to you on a regular basis. It's about the experience of a personal summer harvest. It's a must have for the people out there who are gardeners or simply people that truly enjoy the spoils at a farmers market. It's one of the best Garden greens I have smelled it a long time and it has reinvigorated me. How ironic for this type of fragrance to do that! I truly believe in the power of great perfume.

I'm wearing a sample from Lucky Scent which I ordered from their "Tomato Pack" of summer scents. This appeals to me as it reminds me of one of my favorites, DS & Durga's Coriander. It has that same zingy, green, aromatic, fresh, uplifting, refreshing summer essence. Here the key note is tomato, a note I love now. Tomatoes are a fruit, though many think of them as a vegetable, and if you categorize tomato as a fruit it makes sense they give off a refreshing, thirst quenching, cooling green note. The other note I detect strongly is the rose, and these two notes, tomato and rose are the main ones in the fragrance. More intelligent people will detect geranium, sandalwood, lavender, but I cannot. However, the whole fragrance smells very, very good. My only disappointment is the price. I would not ever spend $250 for this. No way. I am getting just as much, if not more enjoyment out of my $59 bottle of Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree Hermès, which is also a perfect summer fragrance and even more cooling and refreshing than "Love is Coming."

This fragrance is INCREDIBLE! So creative and different. It's as if you got stuck in a blackcurrant bush in the high heat of summer and crushed the leaves and stems against your skin. It's fresh, cool and lively. It makes me think of Verge by Criminal Elements. The tomato leaf is definitely prominent and super realistic, but the black currant is right there, backing it up. It's not a sweet fragrance but rather herbaceous. It's like a lush, vegetal garden tended by an expert gardener. Mainly vegetables, some fruits (berries) and some roses. Highly recommended.

Sweet fresh green opening ( loooord I love a tomato leaf note) the florals give it a very feminine clean feel. I don't get any woody musky notes. There's something addicting and rejuvenating. It's very feminine, lively, outdoorsy. I adore this for spring and summer

Beauty. Similar DNA to MiN NY-Chef's Table. I would say MiN is more unisex and this one leaning more feminine. But as a male I love this on me.
