Maquillage Dramatic Mood Potion

Maquillage Dramatic Mood Potion opens with an unusually crowded fruit basket: pear, apricot, apple, raspberry, peach and grapefruit over bergamot, cardamom and a first flicker of jasmine and patchouli. The effect is dense and juicy rather than light, which is why the fruity accord reads at full strength in the opening hour. Collectors should expect a sweet, rounded start before the composition settles.

The heart turns properly floral — jasmine again, osmanthus, olive blossom, lily-of-the-valley, Bulgarian rose and violet — laid over a base of saffron, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, cedar, iris and amber. The warm-spicy and white-floral accords dominate the drydown, with patchouli and woods giving structure beneath the sweetness. It suits wearers who like fruity-floral orientals with a spicy, resinous finish and who don't mind a busy opening; best for evening or cool weather. A 2015 Shiseido release, now discontinued, so worth buying on sight when found intact.

Maquillage Dramatic Mood Potion 開場係一個相當熱鬧嘅果香組合：梨、杏、蘋果、覆盆子、桃、西柚，配上佛手柑、小豆蔻，仲有初段已滲出嘅茉莉與廣藿香。整體濃郁多汁，唔屬輕盈路線，所以果香調喺頭一個鐘會非常突出，喜歡清爽開場嘅人要留意。

中段轉為正式花香——茉莉、桂花、橄欖花、鈴蘭、保加利亞玫瑰與紫羅蘭——壓喺番紅花、雲呢拿、麝香、檀香、雪松、鳶尾與琥珀之上。暖辛同白花香主導後調，廣藿香與木質喺底下撐起結構。適合鍾意果香花香東方調、接受微辛樹脂收尾嘅用家，夜晚或涼爽天氣最合適。2015 年出品，現已停產，遇到狀態良好嘅存貨值得入手。
