One Sentence Perfume Review: Cologne du Parfumeur, Guerlain



















A dainty thing, pretty but worryingly pallid.


Notes from Fragrantica: Citruses, Amalfi Lemon, African Orange Flower, Mint, Rosemary, Lavender

Vandeau, A White Greyhound, John Frederick Herring, 1839

Always love your one sentence reviews.

I'm going to try to cast "pallid" in a positive light, as it were; I enjoy my little decant of CdP. It's not really a cologne...too smooth, not sparkly/refreshing like I generally think of when heading toward a cologne. And it is haunted by that Guerlain something...not quite the Guerlinade...but something that is like a ghost of Attrape Coeur and other things ambery Guerlain...I enjoyed it viscerally, and as an exercise for Wasser, adding himself on to the line of Guerlain family perfumers.

But then, I could just be a romantic... :)
