My conclusion about the Olfactories line – based on the 2 bottles I’ve bought – is that it performs rather softly and so didn’t do well in a market clamouring for shouty perfumes, especially when they were $400 and only available at a boutique. ⠀
That said, we don’t evaluate paintings for how well we can see that from fall away, and our favourite songs may never be long enough but we can always listen to them on a loop.
Day for Night might be for you if you want the perfect powdery benzoin. It’s smoky but vanillic, and also soft and cozy. The sweetness lingers on the edges of the scent, inviting but never revealing itself completely. This is not a gourmand in the way that we have gourmands now. There’s nothing literal here, you might not even be wearing perfume, because now it’s here and then it’s not. It’s my night time perfume and my daytime memory.⠀⠀⠀
