Review of Rumeur (2007) Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

having read quite a lot of comments I can agree with almost all of the content (plus the positive ones about the perfume itself). I do have a bottle from 2006 and having finally liberated the 'Jus' out of its Cloysters it strikes me how delicate and refined this Fragrance is. it is predominantly a Magnolia perfume of which Francis Kurkdjian knew how to behold its ephemeral character. I smell the Magnolia, Jasmine, especially the Trumpeting 'Ting' of the Lily-of-the-Valley. (here come the Clarions of the Woods ... ) while the distinctively present (White) Rose presents a Velours Chamber of Affairs for all the Flowers to expand themselves. what they then write about the Orange Blossom I do not understand at all: "and a synthetic orange, the scent of which brings to mind orange blossom". let us summarize it as 'Orange Blossom, used in the perfume'. the Plum, Patchouli & Amber add Body and Denseness to this rather Sophisticated Scent. what other people said about the White Musk (odd by-scents, offputting scents) never goes for me bc I am anosmic towards Synthetic, White Musks. probably I can smell their effect on the other notes (filling them out, offering a fixative). the Plum is a Fruit I can always smell and it adds a wonderful fullness to the already Voluptuous Bouquet. then how had I to liberate the perfume out of its Penitentiary Institution ? as you see the bottle above: all the nicely coloured Metal Bits were blackened and I hadn't used the perfume in, say, ten years. this was not out of Malheur, but bc I simply have too many bottles and then some stay closed. but I had worn this perfume and I remembered it being one of the perfumes I loved much. the bottle was unrecognizably worsened and was stuck. all the metal (Brass ? I even thought it was made of Copper !) was heavily torsioned into a Screw like on a Ships Wharf. so I WROUGHT it open. then I still had to disperse of the nice, nicety, Bow which was almost Moulded. then beneath that was a kind of Rubbery, Acryloid Film which had to be cut off with small scissors. the Atomizer already would let loose (and fall on the ground) only it you looked at it. I had to decorrogate the Atomizer (and its Base) with Nail Polish Remover. so the first blast was not only Alcoholic, but mixed with Aceton. eeeew. the Cap I threw away with much satisfaction. keeping spritzing I finally smelled this très fin Parfum. now I only had to give it a new cap. I had one which was a Black, Elongated Cap and it Updated the new Bottle into a fine, handsome flacon. the quirky bottle was in line with the thèn Creative Director of Lanvin, the unforgotten Alber Elbaz. a shy, genius fasion designer who really revitalized Lanvin for (say) eight [14] years. "Alber Elbaz (12 June 1961 – 24 April 2021) was an Israeli fashion designer. He was the creative director of Lanvin in Paris from 2001 until 2015, after having done stints at a number of other fashion houses, including Geoffrey Beene, Guy Laroche, and Yves Saint Laurent." he was the Nice and Sweet fashion designer. good to commemorate him in giving a review of the Lanvin Perfume Rumeur 2006.
