Coquelicot
Il Profumo (2008)

Give this a second chance. My first impression, too, was: a fresh-fruity shampoo – so what?
But there is more to it. Maybe it's this kind of poppy (and culinarily I adore poppy-seed), in any case the scent has something calm, intimate and amicable that ist very pleasant and makes it a feelgood-fragrance. (This feelgood factor is similar as in “Bosque”, even though different.)

The shampooing vibe (and the aromachemicals broadminded usage) a la Heaven Chopard is undeniable in a way the aroma conjures me by soon the time of my sporty youth spent playing football in many cities and having showers for different changing rooms around. I don't detect in particular calone (and to be sincere neither galaxolide) while probably all induces us to guess that the melonal is mastering in the amalgam. The aroma of dynamic herbal/floral bamboo shower foams a la Badedas Noir jumps again now under nose and what I detect is a deeply fruity herbal approach mastered by a bamboo touch, white melon, a weird sour cherry undertone, strong vetiver-patchouli-cedar, virile ambergris and undiscerned floral patterns of powerful intensity. A chest pounding boring fruity/ambery dark patchouli masters the dry down.

A gallon of aromachemicals among which, probably, at least calone, melonal and galaxolide, thrown in this with the same grace a cleaner man would use when throwing away the bucket of dirty water after having cleaned an entire floor. Basically a fruity shampoo, just less creamy and sweet, and more transparent, with a bitter green/herbaceous feel and a refreshing vibe. Also a salty/metallic vibe due to some other aromachemicals I don't spot exactly. After a while you get a round and mellow ambery base still with a green leafy note and a light patchouli note. Close to skin. Dull!
