Ethere Vicky Tiel for women

I used to wear this one a few years ago. Fresh, clean, light and very nice to wear at office or just every-day-use. No sharp or heavy notes on me. Maybe not a wow-scent but a good one to have.

Denna doften hade jag för några år sen. Härlig varje-dag-doft. Mjuk, clean, fräsch doft, Ingen rumsdödare men tydlig i sin framtoning. Ingen wow-faktor men en trevlig parfym att äga.

this is very synthetic and an alcohol floral smell at the begining. as it dries down it becomes an ultra light floral, jasminy, slightly lemon scent. its fresh and clean and it didn't start out that way. i didn't think i was going to like this very much, but now that it has dried its really very pretty.

I'm beginning to see a trend taking shape: Vicky Tiel perfumes open big, in fact, HUGE. The basis of this induction is pretty slim, I'll admit (n = 2), but upon applying with a decidedly light hand ETHERE, I found myself somewhat overwhelmed all over again. This time, however, the cloud was not of aldehydes but of what smelled remarkably like a two-note composition of hyacinth and celery.

As ETHERE dried down, it became nicer and nicer, to the point where finally, by the end, I can actually say that I like it. Still, it was a rather rough journey getting there. ETHERE becomes, eventually, a close-to-the skin lovely floral green, but the flowers really have to wait their turn for the greens to make room. It might be the cypress which is ending up smelling very celery-like to my nose, who knows? With all of the listed notes the possible explanations abound.

The house of Vicky Tiel really manages to create some lovely drydowns. The question, I'm afraid, is: who has the patience to wait? In a culture undergoing progressive Twitterization, people are apt to judge perfumes by the first 140 characters, rather than waiting for an epic poem to unfold. And if those first 140 characters are too bold, they might just run for a scrub, as I was frankly tempted to do with both SIRENE and ETHERE. Now I know, with the benefit of hindsight, that to have done so would have been a mistake.

Nice but not unique by any means. Even with all the notes, all I get is a light and crisp tea scent. If the sweet notes and jasmine came out a little more, I think it would grab your attention. As is, it's just another watery tea floral. Ho Hum...
