Review of Un bois vanille by aad de gids

I must have bought this perfume near 2003, the year of its inception. another surprise in my collection, which got lost a bit. but by spraying it yesterday on my pulse, I exactly remembered the perfume, where this twenty years old flacon shall have ripened, macerated, gained further 'Grand Crux Supérieure', an easygoing as well as deep, sweet and embalming, flustering as also showing enough blatantcy, confection, that the whole perfume is as specific as timeless. I even find it the more attractive and interesting as I did twenty years ago. (this is just what I remembered.) it is now my guess that, after I tried several perfumes after a long time, this 'resting time', its Silentium, shall be an alchymic Principle to let the Notes (and thereby, the chemicals, Aroma Chemicals) diffuse still finer and subtler, a Maceration in Vitro. and by 'wearing' several Lutenses after each other, be it Promptly and Majestically interrupted by Amouage GOLD Woman, of which I still can smell the Aldehydes Pumping, and also precisely accentuated by this Haute Parfum, that the Lutenses got a Lift and they, predominantly Un Bois Vanille and Datura Noire and Cuir Mauresque, instilled the balmy, woody, Resinous Richness also back into the Amouage that this influences got all-directional and the Lutenses won and the Amouage won. but the Amouage (nor Lutenses) didn't need it yet the sensation was all the more Scentsational. the Notes here tell all. a more 'Vegetative' or better 'Botanical' Vanilla Touch, Cocos and Beeswax (which I adore and which animalizes a perfume, as also Vero.Kern knew well), then the notes which incorporate 'Un Bois': Tonka, Guaiac Wood, Sandelwood and possibly more 'Woody' accents with Liquorice and Almonds, yes then we understand why this feérique Bois can be called Vanillized. it is a wholesome perfume, almost Aroma Therapeutic but Non, foremost this is a Parisian parfum with slightly quasi-Oriental touches: (Benzoin, Tonka, Coconut) which notes are all mingled and blended that one, Parfum Supérieur saw the light. fabulous !
