FREE LIFE

Autumn in Sunshine

 

The traditional opening blast of bergamot, lavender and sage is given a nice twist with a wood note; this results in a slightly boozy gorgeous blend of top note.

Jasmine, geranium and a bit of rose arise in the middle phase, a rich and pleasurable mix, where the florals are mixed very nicely.

The base contains sandalwood, but on my skin it is dominated by the crescendo of a rich and glowing amber note; the rose and the geranium are still present; especially the rose has a late recrudescence and shines brightly.

 

The quality of the ingredients is superb, and it is extremely well blended without losing structure. Good silage and projection, with somewhat over five hours of longevity. A rich autumnal delight from a time when Aigner produced great fragrances, but this might be their masterpiece.

 

Sadly discontinued.
