fact is that I see taking age. As time passes, the more I mature, less sweet and delicious scents, fruity, candied vanilla, seduce me.
I remain a true lover of sweet, Orientals, of Cyprus, amber and other spices.
On the way to my discoveries scented more or less convincing, I met Bitter Sweet by Serge Lutens. Bitter Sweet
is a fragrance made by Christopher Sheldrake in 2000 for aesthetic perfumer Serge Lutens.
But beyond its name that I first challenged, there is this curious perfume composition that takes you on a track more or less explored, a pristine, a place of contrasts and contradictions singular, shadow and light, all shrouded in a veil of sweetness.
Everything is said in the name carries a kind of melancholy ... A steaming
I sense a cinnamon softened by a tiare flower and strangely it produces a "food" which I do not expect at all. I feel greedy break a note, velvety ... a little one that I feel when I grate chocolate shavings.
A mix here of white and dark chocolate, but these notes are completely digestible. Point of exaggeration in this passage calories (unlike Rahat Loukoum example!).
The most surprising is to come however, as the minutes moved over the famous phase "bitter" ... Tears of wormwood, pungent grass, green fairy, flow and trace furrows in the creamy chocolate but discreet. They are accompanied by notes which give an amazing aniseed note of freshness to the composition.
The middle notes are imprints of both sweetness and a delicious fresh bitterness. Singular fragrance, paradoxically, almost heartbreaking as an outstretched hand that moves inexorably ...
The third and final act is less interesting to my nose, it gives pride of place in a warm vanilla, woody and musky. You almost forget the improbable and beautiful dissonance of the intermediate phase of perfume ...
time slipping away, I get older, sugar scented m'indiffèrent at best amuse me, but I confess to have been bewitched by the beauty greedy unconventional first two phases of bittersweet.
Notes: Wormwood, cinnamon, tiare, jasmine, lily, vanilla.
NB: It appears that this perfume is doomed to disappear soon from the Serge Lutens export collection, though in principle it should reinstate the Salons du Palais Royal.
