Field Notes From Paris by Ineke

Kterhark

If you are curious about this one I feel like asking "how well do you like coriander, cedar and tonka?"

But its not that easy, as i can point to these notes in other perfumes (where they aren't as strong) and like it just fine. I just don't like them here. Here they are very pronounced, and to me are a bit grating.

To put it more simply: I'm sitting in the bed with my boyfriend, relaxing after a day at the beach and a stop at a pizza joint. The Italian sausage was a little too spicy, and let's just say that when my boyfriend said 'sorry' I immediately stuck my nose in my shirt.

I soon realized I had to chose between two evils, and the natural smell won out. Sorry Field notes; perhaps if we ate Mexican you'd have fared better.

Goes on green and very leafy, with strong resin notes. Dry down is almost like Messe de Minuit in the resinous incense feel. Very nice. Second try it's green notes and wildflower-like florals--no cloy or soapy feeling--with the suggestion of almond. Dries to powdery floral with green notes and what must be beeswax base, creamy and smooth

I love Paris. I didnt so much like it when I was living there (prose of life), but once youre out, you cannot appreciate the lifestyle it is offering you: restaurants open till early in the morning, cafes, museums, dozens of little private cinemas, festivals, etc.

I was expecting to find some of Paris controversies here, some of the things that make it stand out, that make it so worth coming back to. And I got a mixture made for people, who are only attracted to Paris to see mainly if not only the Eiffel tower, who follow their guidebooks in search of the main landmarks without any invention of their own or whatsoever. This is evening in Paris for tourists. Champs Elysees, a snapshot of L'Arc de Triomphe, coffee in Starbucks, giggling teenagers, a quick glance over la Seine, a visit to a posh Louis Vitton boutique, "This is me in front of le Louvre". A quintessence of the Paris from a postcard. Nice and easy, and... boring. It is still elegant, but it offers you nothing more than you would be able to see on a TV screen.

I am wearing Field notes from Paris right now and on my skin it is very linear, like pure figue leaves and nothing else :/ Still the staying power is great!

I am in love with this perfume. It's very difficult to pick out individual notes the perfume is so well integrated but the orange blossom, tobacco flower and cedar are the ones that last the longest. The overall effect is a sunny cathedral in France or the most wonderful library in the world with rich wood paneling, walls full of leather bound books and beeswax candles and vases of orange blossom. Elegant in the way that 1940's English actresses (think Greer Garson, Vivien Leigh) were elegant. Highly recommended and her sample set is the steal of the century.
