Too precious for a mortal nose. Too beautiful for the ordinary. They are the forbidden scents of our world. It might seem the text of a brand but in fact that's the Truth. The most beautiful perfumes and accords are not outside the gate but they are known to a small number of people. Unfortunatelly this cannot be changed. From time to time forgotten secrets appear by miracle. Today I had this kind of revelation. In front of me is a very small bottle from Firmenich. A discontinued product called "
Narcisse base Firmenich" and it is one of the most beautiful flowers I've ever smelled.
Imagine a daffodill wrapped in a soft tuberose. Imagine the heart of natural Jonquille, the heart of
Fracas, Carnal Flower and
Diorling (the real extrait). It is the essence of all, without the characteristics. It is a base but it smells better than many modern perfumes with an evaporation curve designed by God. It is a very old product but deserves to be called a "piece of art". The perfumer is unknown to me and maybe to many others who remember this base.
