Coralle (2007)
by Ayala Moriel

I was stricken with great nostalgia upon first smelling this fragrance. Perhaps I was exposed to some exceptional ylang-ylang based perfumes in my youth, but, sadly, I never knew their names. I was taken back by the heavy, sweet, creamy, fruity, boozy fullness of Coralle. This is delicious, heady, and intoxicating. It touches a chord of satisfaction in me. Coralle smells like a mysterious liquid that I would drink, which would cause me to become drunk and euphoric, like a brandy snifter full of sweet, fragrant, golden-red liquid. It is a spoonful of magic elixer from an old-fashined brown glass bottle.
