The Light Malle. Â*The Un-Cola. Â* Â*
I recieved ASP and Bigarade Concentree from Malle after filling out their online questionaire. Â*I asked for a fragrance that I could wear at work that would be subtle, yet project intelligence and confidence. Â*Both of these are light frags, but BC has recived a bit of press here, so I'll focus on ASP. Â*
Jean-Claude Ellena's goal was to capture the essence of the angelica flower after a spring rainstorm, and he did a great job. Â*As the reviewers here have noted, it is a subtle scent, and when I applied it the first time I agreed with Paul G, that the smell was gone after about 10m, unless you pressed your nose to your wrist. Â*That first application was at night, and just before I wen to bed though. Â*I tried it a second time Friday. One spray to the wrist, then off to work. Â*Like before it was there, then went away, but about an hour later came back. Â*Not with a vengence, mind you; this is ASP were talking about. Â*But it did come back stronger than it was when I first applied it. Â*I could smell it for hours in all its subtle, pink-peppery, cedery glory. Â*
Maybe it was my daytime activity and body chemistry that brought it out. I may have drifted off to sleep too quicky after applciation #1 to notice the mid- and basenote performance. Â*But for those that appreciate a subtle daytime/office fragrance it did a good job. Â*I can't say "great" until I try it solo. Â*My primary SOTD Friday was Creed Vetiver (1948); I applied the ASP as an afterthought because I assumed it would evaporate quickly. Â*So I've got to go solo with ASP for a complete evaluation. Â*
But give it a try guys and gals, if you can find it! Â*
