It didn't spark immediately (;
I had no great expectations when the new Gaultier2 came to me as a small bottling.
I didn't know the original fragrance. I had only tested a fragrance-like version of Éclat once, but I didn't like it at all.
Nevertheless, my first impression was anything but shock infatuation.
"So this was supposed to be the Gaultier2 that everyone was talking about and whose original version from 2005 was traded for an unspeakable amount of money?"
Disillusionment set in and I put the sample in my little box.
A few days later, I tested it again. This time I didn't find it so bad - yes, it did have something that I liked. Something earthy, that's how I described it in a short state at the time.
It was the beginning of a great love affair, because the sample was empty faster than I would have liked and a bottle had to move in IMMEDIATELY. A backup followed it and I must confess that I dread the day when Gaultier decides to discontinue this masterpiece again.
But what does it smell like now?
It's really crazy, but I can't put it into words. Dreamlike... warm, soft, delicate, strong, masculine, feminine... and still earthy to my nose. I can smell a hint of nuttiness, maybe even the tanginess of a dark plum and of course the blanket of amber, musk and vanilla. But everything I list here doesn't do the fragrance justice.
The longevity is okay for me but not outstanding. I think this also applies to the silage.
And yet, I love it!
