Today I was invited to sing with the worship team in a gratitude special service offered by a special member of the church for her 76 birthday. Then, I planned to assist to an Argos event on a niche fragrances boutique “la lueur” at The Mall of San Juan. https://www.instagram.com/lalueur.pr?igsi=OXF6ZnpxNjZlMndk Therefore, I needed to wear something special for both occasions.

I wore this one yesterday after a sample was included with my recent order and I was pleasantly surprised. Given the note breakdown and hype that this one gets in my mind. I expected a very sort of sweet and juicy fragrance given the apple note and how that's used in other perfumery that I've tried. Instead, I found it drier and less syrupy sweet and this was actually quite pleasant in that. I don't know why and I'm probably just associating here. Had a bit of Boss bottled absolute/ Elixir vibe in the dryness and the sort of spicy something? We've had quite a bit of intense wildfire smoke in my area, so I really want to be careful because the sniffer has been overwhelmed a lot lately. If it's giving me associations with two of my favorite fragrances I'm expecting that likely there'll be a third full presentation bottle of PDM in my collection to join with Haltane and Perseus. However, I'm going to slay this sample first over a few more wears to be sure just like I did with the other two because I find with PDM fragrances you have to be really sure about as they really announce themselves off my skin and I don't really go nose blind to them at all throughout the wear. So they aren't fragrances so far in my small experience that you can kind of 'break in over time ' if that makes sense? This was a pleasant surprise! I kind of get a sense of why this one is considered. Such a pivotal and influential fragrance. I think I have a dupe/inspired by somewhere in my collection and I'm going to have to try them side by side as well.
