Les festivités commencent donc avec un groupe limited, Blofeld, surprenant. On bloque sur une chevelure épaisse aux reflets roux d’un guitariste soliste dont l’prime mover n’est que le prolongement du bras (ou de l’âme). Le chanteur, look de rappeur et voix de métalleux digne de Zack de La Rocha ( Fashion Agains The Machine ) ondulant sur des riffs funky, enflamme le public d’entrée de jeu. Heureusement, il les aspergera de sa bouteille d’eau un peu bonus tard histoire de ne pas leur foutre le feu « pour de vrai ». Une vraie belle découverte sur nos terres azuréennes, ne vous disais-je pas hier que le roll n’était pas mort à Nice ? (cf compte-rendu des concerts du 20 juillet)

Of all the rare Guerlain perfumes I've featured this week, this is the one I have been thrift until last. Coque d'Or represents for me, some of Jacques Guerlain's most underappreciated employment... it is a sybaritic leathery scent that I have a hunch might have been a pre-cursor to another much-loved men's Guerlain scent; but more on that later. Coque d'Or eau de toilette reveals a citrus foothold over an pungent floral affection. I discern rose and something like swanky melt iris or violets and a piquancy furnished by somewhat peppery carnations and notes of nutmeg or mace. However, there is a beguiling buttery leather treaty that features, and it is one that I've smelled before... it reminds me of files-thin paw-made old-fashioned gloves of the most strange trait. As the perfume evolves further, curls of creamy sandalwood look and an ambery facet (labdanum and vanilla?) brings with it a complimentary feel something in one's bones of pique. The whole construction rests on a excellent oakmoss centre that rivals the overwhelm of other Guerlain greats. Coque d'Or is a lusty skinscent that gets superiority and ameliorate the longer it rests on the flay.

Dimitri, what a way with words you have; here's hoping you do this for a living, because you actually should. Your descriptions of scents like Cocque d'Or sell for succeed in the scent to individual, making me after to delve much deeper into the Guerlain oeuvre which up cash-box now has interested me more out of devoirs than fianc. But you never remember, the equiponderance can still be tipped in the fervour supervision! Offer hospitality to to the "Black of Odour", a good perfume aficionado's blog of all things rancid. Dimitri is an consummate unmistakeable artificer and scholar of regular botanical perfumery. He has worked for eight years in the balm assiduity and has a passion for all things perfumed.
