I gather the inspiration came from certain literature's fascination with death, which to me is completely different. I believe that SL often looks for inspiration in poetry and prose, and I find many works of great beauty concerning this theme. I also happen to like the name. But of course you're right, there are many other perfumes out there, so as I think you feel strongly about this, you should probably skip this one. The colour is truly great!Asalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-77981255201130645812011-09-10T00:55:07.171+02:002011-09-10T00:55:07.171+02:00Suzanne, that is very sweet of you to say, I appre...Suzanne, that is very sweet of you to say, I appreciate it very much. I can't think of another perfume that makes use of chrysanthemum like De Profundis, that is; which doesn't add rose fx. I think in particular the 'green' of the flower is well used here.I really do like the floral bouquet in this, as you say, it sort of fits.Asalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-68143701384935115132011-09-09T21:39:43.002+02:002011-09-09T21:39:43.002+02:00This is one of those perfumes that I do not want t...This is one of those perfumes that I do not want to try/wear because of the name and the theme. I do not think that death, sorrow, grief is something that should be exploited by the commercial perfume creation (I would be fine with perfume as an art form, something that won't be sold in a store).<br />I wish SL would have chosen a different name for his creation: I like the color of the juice and I'm curious about those notes. Well, there will be other perfumes for me.<br /><br />~ Undina ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-48362739593965021632011-09-09T15:19:32.220+02:002011-09-09T15:19:32.220+02:00I feel so peaceful after reading your tender revie...I feel so peaceful after reading your tender review of this, Asali. There aren't too many chrysanthemum perfumes are there? It's sort of an odd smelling flower, but one that makes sense for the theme of this fragrance.Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-69373779713780061162011-09-09T14:42:19.203+02:002011-09-09T14:42:19.203+02:00Hi Tara, Thank you and about Rilke, you're mos...Hi Tara, Thank you and about Rilke, you're most welcome. I hope you'll enjoy both:-) I understand what you're saying about the chrysanthemum, and in deed a floral bouquet without all the usual suspects might take some time to get use to? Although I love almost all fragrances from SL, it doesn't mean that some of them aren't very challenging, and that some took longer to love than others :-)Asalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-58470703814123749232011-09-09T13:47:03.960+02:002011-09-09T13:47:03.960+02:00Wonderful review Asali, I can't say I was eage...Wonderful review Asali, I can't say I was eager for a chrysanthemum perfume but you make it sound intriguing! Plus you've inspired me to learn more about Rilke's poetry, which is something I've been meaning to do for ages, so thank-you. <br /><br />TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-57678683917225585092011-09-09T11:53:14.594+02:002011-09-09T11:53:14.594+02:00Thanks a lot Carrie, I do hope you will :-)Thanks a lot Carrie, I do hope you will :-)Asalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-75239361075293800452011-09-09T09:55:06.703+02:002011-09-09T09:55:06.703+02:00Wineandfood4u, nažalost, ni ja ga još ne poznajem,...Wineandfood4u, nažalost, ni ja ga još ne poznajem, ali slijedeći tjedan vjerojatno budem jer mi stiže dekantić.
