There is a perfume which has a deep smell reminiscent of Chios gum. Perhaps it is mixed with amber, I do not know. But the overall sense is of Chios gum or Paphos gum for those of you who do not know Chios gum.
What I do know is that all the times I smelled it the women wearing it were very classy and attractive. Anyone know what I am talking about?
The Italian perfumers tend to use more resins and incense, whilst the French lean towards flowers and musks. Chances are it is Italian.
I used to wear the original Missoni, which years ago a Greek friend commented on in similar fashion .... but they have recently updated it and it doesn't smell like that at all.
The nearest one (although French) that I would say is reminiscent of Chios gum is
Coco by Chanel.
But why don't you stop one of these classy ladies and ask, on the pretext of wanting to buy it for your wife (not misconstrued as a pick-up) and most women would be flattered to be asked by a man, and likely to reveal their secret (somehow losing their "memories" as to which precise one they sprayed that day, when asked by fellow women
).
The category within which you place the wearers, "classy and attractive," could be a manifestation of pheromone
constituents (hmm, thinks "Kifeas"
). There is a great deal of research into this area of mimicking human secretions, with some interesting results. Grapefruit can produce amazing effects
I know we are in opposition regarding the vision of a "leave animals alone" world ... but Chanel are supposed to be leading the way in abandoning cruel animal products; but I don't know how far they have progressed.
So do not forget the plight of the Hyrax and whales etc., and think twice before buying "unnecessarily" .....
