Review of Gris clair... (2006) by RINA

The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of lavender. However, it differs from the fresh, aromatic impression one might typically associate with lavender. Amber and tonka bean intertwine, inviting you into a deep, calming scent. The true charm of this perfume lies in the presence of incense. While abundant lavender usually creates a pleasant, refreshing sensation, here the incense eliminates that moisture, leading to a texture reminiscent of the dry Moroccan landscape. This dry air becomes a "wind," creating a fantastical scene where lavender pollen seems to float in the air. The powdery texture of iris subtly emerges alongside the lavender, giving the dry impression of the incense something alluring and elegant. This fragrance embodies the intelligence and tranquility inherent in the color gray. The shifting impression of the incense, which guides the lavender to tranquility, evokes a sense of intelligence. This piece beautifully enhances the calming accord of lavender and incense with a minimalist aesthetic!
