I am speechless...
These are times of new and modern,
but I always have a yearning i aspire to the old and the far,
and transport me to an old bay
A view over the coast,
and I see the open sea a gust of wind brushes the gaps,
and I can't feel anything anymore
Woke up from this dream,
i now have you in my hand indescribably you fill the room,
like someone's casting a spell on me [...]
I came across this Guerlain fragrance by pure coincidence here at EssenceVitae, whose bottle captivated me the very first time I caught it. So noble, clear, chic and transparent, as I've hardly seen before. Enthusiastic about the design, I looked at its composition and became even more curious...

"Flowery chypre-ish"?! Oh yes, I'll definitely like it!", I was immediately convinced and ordered a bottling here.
And when I tested these at home, I was blown away from the first whiff. Away from this world, off towards the other world, a world where only me and him are...

"He," yes, by which I mean this fragrance. It is these enchanting moments that make me so happy, when I am fascinated by a fragrance from the very beginning and it transports me to another galaxy. And this one absolutely belongs to ...

When he came out, I was far from being born and even my parents were still children at that time, but from time to time I feel more and more attracted to fragrances that are just a little older. For me they radiate a charm, shine and aura that I often miss in many newer fragrances.

The opening of the fragrance is flowery and citrusy fresh I would say; that's what the citrus fruits and the garden honeysuckle provide. But the floral is further accentuated by other enchanting flowers, such as those of gardenia and jasmine. Until the fragrance then comes across as slightly woody and especially mossy and minimally earthy and leathery at the base. This is also responsible for the chypre-like character, which, including the easily perceptible creamy vanilla, makes it both beautiful and interesting for me.

In my opinion you can wear the fragrance all year round without any problems. He is one who has absolutely the potential to be a so-called "a so-called signature scent. And if I had to commit to one or more seasons, I'd probably choose spring and autumn, which I think would be the best time to use it
The shelf life is for me personally with good 6h completely sufficient and the Sillage is rather moderate; this smell is well room filling in the first 1-2h. Afterwards it stays, like a fine lady, covered and captivates with understatement and stylish and elegant class.
Conclusion:
As I mentioned a couple of times, I don't care about gender divisions in fragrances anyway. He may be classified for women, but he has inspired me so much that I am looking forward to welcoming him in my collection soon.

The Chant d'Arômes, an "aromatic song", is a floral, fresh and intense mossy-woody scent.
Airy-light and green he lies in the air and I am delighted.

And I thank again from the bottom of my heart the lovely perfuma 'Berettino', which sent me small samples as an extra to my order. If you are reading this, feel very much pressed...
[...]

And of course, as always, thanks to all who have read along so far.

made out of love
At the age of 18, Jean-Paul Guerlain began his apprenticeship as a "nose".
As the grandson of Jacques, again a grandson of the dynasty's founder, he was already hereditarily predisposed.
That was in 1955; he assisted in the creation of "Ode", his grandfather's last creation.
Already in 1959, he created his own fragrance for men and three years later his first major perfume for women: "Chant d'Arômes".

This, his first masterpiece, he dedicated to the woman he loved.
"Who knows better how to make a woman smell than a man?" this man, who especially loved women and flowers, will say one day.
The enchanting backstory to this was reported to me by Marieposa, from whom I also received a bottling of this wonderful fragrance.
(Thank you so much for that, dear! Although I was recently told I didn't have to thank her; but I see it differently!)
Jean-Paul Guerlain's young wife always wore Carven's "Ma Griffe" with great passion at the beginning of their marriage.
This did not please the chief perfumer of the house of Guerlain of course at all and he set everything to create a fragrance that convinced his lady of heart of his abilities as a "nose" and thus to eliminate the competitor also in the private sphere.
Thus was born "Chant d'Arômes" - the "song of aromas"!

As a member of the Chypre family, "Chant d'Arômes" speaks the language of flowers.
Each one has its own special meaning, which can be traced back to the language of flowers that originated in the seraglio of a Turkish sultan.
Thus, "Chant d'Arômes" became a spring bouquet as a token of love to his wife: cheerful and charming and immediately giving the impression of freshness.
Self-confident women love to perfume themselves for their own sake: they don't need any other occasion!
The first impression of "Chant d'Arômes" is therefore hesperidic scents; one of the important components of classic chypre fragrances.
These draw a hint of honeysuckle - wonderfully beguiling in its honey note!
The further development of the fragrance blends into a cheerful chorus of flowers: the noble gardenia; the pipebush, here as "pale jasmine" harbinger of the intensely fragrant white-flowered beauty that never fails to delight me.
And not to be forgotten: Ylang-Ylang, which does not bear the Latin epithet "Odorata" without good reason: its fragrance embraces generously and lovingly - as it does here.
These radiant blossom voices cheer towards the fragrant sky and flatter woman and soul.
But the beat of this chorus is ultimately set by the duller vibrations: those of oakmoss, earthy vetiver, erotic sandalwood and resinous benzoin.
The great fragrance finale is concluded by sensual-warm swirls of dark purple vanilla flower / heliotrope and creamy-bearing vanilla.

Thus arises the fragrant declaration of love to a very special woman and at the same time to all women.
"Chant d'Arômes" is a gift to all women; a gift from a man who understood us women.

As "Chant d'Arômes" is a spring fragrance, sillage and longevity are not infinite; but faithfully and lovingly caressing: an embrace of the beloved in fragrance form!

The time to listen to the "song of aromas" will come this year yet.
The time to wear "Chant d'Arômes" is right now and whenever we want it!
Because for a declaration of love is always the right time!

Sleeps a song in all things
Today I finally held Chant d`aromes in my hands.

I feel like I've been transported back to my youth in Hamburg, where I got to know and appreciate a real Hamburg girl.

A delicate little person who always impressed me with her discreet Hanseatic way of dressing.
Hedi also collected paintings, which I loved to linger in front of in her tasteful apartment.
She knew something to say about every picture.

I was surrounded by her enchanting scent, which emphasized her style.
It was elegant, yet approachable - just like Hedi.

Chant d`Aromes.

It's nice that Chant now reminds me of her again.
And of our times in Hamburg.

And the scent also reminds me of Eichendorff:

Sleeps a song in all things
that dream on and on
and the world begins to sing
you only hit the magic word

Here I'm a girl, here I can be a girl
I wrote this review in Word in advance. To publish, my daughter had to open the fragrance page and scroll everything to me so that I do not see the ingredients. The reason:

I don't want it. =:-I

It was my birthday at the end of February, and my husband got a list of fragrances I'd be happy with. He picked this one out for me and - what could hardly be more opposite - the Ginger Lover by Azzaro. Grins.

So both were on the dining room table in the morning with a bouquet of flowers, candle and stuffed animal. The Chant d'Arômes I immediately unpacked and sprayed on. I was blown away by this lovely, fine fragrance. And it lives up to its name, is as generally described: You really can't smell any flower in particular. All sing in a harmonious fragrance chorus.

He is a bit powdery, but not too much.

He is also not too flowery (for me).

It's silky soft and light, but still has character.
It made me feel like a young girl - but also like a seasoned lady.

How does he do it, I wondered.

Then announced to my husband that I don't even want to know the ingredients for now. Movie quote from Tomb Raider: "My ignorance amuses me!" I would only look the next day, I said. But I didn't. Nor the day after that. I wore it all weekend.

The following week, I likewise didn't want to destroy the fine magic with mundane, scientific knowledge.

By the following weekend, the flowers had wilted, but I wanted to recapture the birthday feeling and wore it several times. Even used a shower gel to match, namely "Fiorito" by Bioearth.

That was two weeks ago now. As I clean, I grin at the bottle in love (by the way, it's not like the one pictured here, but more like the beehives from the Aqua Allegoria range). I can still hear the fragrant harmony singing and don't want to know what's inside.

This can now remain so.

Feather-light, delicate and soothing security
I associate Chant d'Aromes with a rainy spring day where the fresh rain and natural air flows through the open window in the bathroom and the soothing powdery steam of the relaxing bath flows through your nose, made of honeysuckle, jasmine, ylang ylang, oakmoss and wood. And are accompanied by a light breeze of lemon. Here I feel safe, relaxed, carefree and refreshed. You don't want to get rid of this feeling. Fortunately, Chant d'Aromes continues to accompany you and embraces you again and again with its powdery, light, lively freshness, wrapping itself around your soul like a scarf. A wonderful fragrance. It also fits perfectly into everyday life, whether at home, on walks, in nature, on birthdays or even discreetly in the office.
You also have to give it time to develop properly at the beginning. Just like L'Heure Bleue. The ylang ylang and honeysuckle come through strongly at first. Once it has been on the skin a little longer, its delicately powdery, light and refreshing aura comes to the fore.
I also smell it for 8 hours, until at some point it only becomes close to the body. Definitely going on the wish list.
