Sonnet 18 Annette Neuffer 2014
8
So beautiful - Summer love in a bottle. ...
A lovely rich, golden yellow and green smell, a warm summer in a bottle ready to bloom on your skin. I smell linden blossoms and some mimosa, their pollen sticking to pale but richly flavoured, sticky sap like honey, with gentle animalic undertones. There is some fine edible tonka in here too.
Deeply relaxing and soothing, mood enhancing, and sensual, Linden is thought to be an aphrodisiac. A great perfume for summertime love.
Annette’s perfumes have classic forms and a special personal signature; each of them has its own ‘feel’ and texture - I love this about them. To my delight, there is a gorgeous beeswax in the base of many of them and the quality of the natural materials is a joy for any perfume lover to get their nose around - If you like them, you’re going to really like them. For me they are masterful, rounded, thorough and beautiful compositions with no uncomfortable edges to be found anywhere.
Sonnet 18 is yet another Annette Neuffer perfume for my want list.
And for those of us who like a bit of poetry...
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
