A bit of redemption for the sample in a dabber bottle: it lets you reapply discreetly because there’s no puff of perfume in the air. It came in handy with this sample of Prada’s Cargo de Nuit, another forgotten perfume from the Olfactories line. It wears so softly that I had to keep adding more as the day went on, or maybe it was the cherry/almond opening that smelled so good that I kept dabbing it on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First on the back of the hand, then on the inside of the wrist, finally abandoning caution and putting it behind my ears. The ambrette – skin-like warmth that keeps things clean but inviting. It’s balanced, controlled. Office-safe but still interesting even for the seasoned perfume lover. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
