L`Olfactive 127 (for women)

Miss_Nightingale

Each Crazylibellule L`Olfactive perfume is based on a particular & in-depth sensory memory. 127 is the story of an afternoon nap in Sainte Cécile les Vignes, a small, peaceful town in France known as "Provence of the Popes." The fragrance journey - written on a tiny, perfect book hanging from ribbons entwined around the bottle's neck - describes the linen sheets, slatted blinds with rays of sunshine, a mysterious man laying on the bed "...a tiny ray of light goes through the room and sparkles on his skin." The taste of apricot sorbet still present, the scent of his musk on the dressing gown draped over the chair, a blue bottle containing orange water, the heat outside, children giggling...

Amazingly, the ambiance described is distinctly discernable - there is a langourous sexuality to this perfume, a sense of snuggling on rumpled sheets in the heat of the afternoon following an amorous encounter. The apricot is warm, juicy, tempered with subtle jasmin and the undercurrent of clean musk. A skin scent, not fresh from the shower, but of skin warmed by the sunshine, by a lover's touch.

127 is not an overpowering fragrance, it has depth, certainly, but stays close to the skin rather than leaving a trail. After a couple of hours, you need to get close to smell this on someone... but perhaps that is the point!

Delectable and perfect for the spring or the heat of a summer's day, this is both comforting and uplifting. The packaging and stories that come with the perfume are lovely, really unique and would make a wonderful gift. This is a fun, vibrant company with an addictive nonchalance & an exuberant joie de vivre!
