A Snowy Bench

[Jenjin]

Snow-covered bamboo reeds, white pear, plum blossoms,
honeyed green tea, and Japanese narcissus.

The snow note here is sharp, icy and a bit sour, like in Prague or Morning at Fuschlsee. I smell the pear and sharp icy sour snow. After some rest, the sourness subsides and the blend comes into itself. A gentle icy sweetness, possibly the honeyed green tea  element, with fruity undertones from the plum and pear.

I’m very glad I gave this scent a chance to rest overnight! When I tried it fresh from the mailbox it was…rough

 

now it’s a cool sweet smell, with something that smells a little aquatic to my nose.

This is gorgeous! Probably need to appreciate narcissus, as I do, but the honeyed tea and pear gently sweeten this sharper, headier note so nicely, and plum provides a stunning complement. I had to fish out Astronomical Twilight for a plum/narcissus comparison, but that one seems to have mellowed with time and this is so bright and fresh!

The snow is not a sweet snow, more of a crisp, outdoorsy atmospheric. Truly I just want to bury my face in the crook of my elbow for the rest of the day.

The plum blossoms and very lightly honeyed green tea against crisp cold snow are the main elements of this on my skin. The rest of the notes give an effect of slightly sweet watery green, floral, fruit but are much less distinct to me. This is lovely and a good showcase of plum blossom but verging on too sweet for me.
