I apologize for the disappearance. Life gets rather busy sometimes. And interesting. 🙂
That said, the weather here’s been interesting as well. After a summer that resembled more of an autumn, we were in for some warm sunny weather. So this time around I turned to some white flowers by Mr Monegal. Ever after hearing him speak several weeks ago, I’m more and more leaning toward acquiring several more of his perfumes (Cuirelle is always a huge hit whenever I wear it).
So, I’ve been wearing Kiss My Name rather often. It  makes me think of the sunshine and happiness all in one (hence the title). The brightness of neroli just adds to the experience of the sunshine. And then tempered with tuberose and jasmine… What’s not to give you an instant smile? 🙂
I’d say Mr Monegal has mastered the art of seduction through perfumes.
I am certainly succumbing to more and more of his wonderful creations.
So now that it was sunny and warm, I was wearing Kiss My Name a lot, a Monegal version of white flowers..
Notes:Â tuberose, iris, egyptian jasmine, tunisian neroli and tolu balsam.
A very refreshing start with neroli, based on jasmine and tuberose and I’d swear some kind of fruit. My guess would be peach. and then tuberose slowly leaves its nice position to let neroli and jasmine take center stage, all the while lurking in the background.
I admit the iris is playing hide and seek with me (rather well as I haven’t found it yet) but the tolu balsam is what I’d say gives the wonderful longevity to this perfume and the warmth to the notes that can sometimes be shrill.
And that’s basically it. An overwhelming feeling of happiness and warmth due to white flowers.
It seems though the enjoyment of the warm and sunny is finished for this year. Tomorrow the cold weather begins…
P.S: I can’t help it, that makes me instantly think of “Winter is coming…” (Game of Thrones)  😉
