Today I am wearing Premiere Danse by Paul Emilien
No I hadn’t heard of it either so I did a little research
online and found that this perfume ‘is inspired by great worldly balls’. Of all the things…and then it dawned on me,
Premiere Danse! Of course – first dance,
dancing at a ball. Ah ha, that makes
sense now.
It’s bitter sweet – the perfume, not the dance. I can smell mandarin but an unripe green
mandarin, mingled with juicy berries and a hint of black currant. The middle layer is more floral with whisps
of mimosa and violet. It is an
interesting arrangement culminating in a sweeter layer of labdanum, musk,
frankincense, amber, vetiver and benzoin.
It doesn’t change much over time, the bitter sweetness
lingers throughout. It is elegant and
slightly stand-offish. No dancing diva
this one, but one for the discerning, one who insists on having her dance card
marked up rather than accept your invitation on the spur of the moment.
I rather like it.
