It is all good. I liked one of the last two mods so much, I believe we are now not simply on the right track but actually well on the way along the track towards the happy ending. The mod I am talking about is R5\/Q. I suppose I should mention R5\/R as well, just so it doesn&#8217;t feel completely left out. It is a great leather scent, a little smoky, a little salty. If all I wanted was leather and nothing but leather, it would have been wonderful. But I envision something more for my Holy Grail, with leather certainly being a prominent element, but still just one of many elements.<\/p>\n<p>R5\/Q, on the other hand, has the complexity and depth I am looking for. It starts on my skin with a sweet-n-spicy accord, which features a pronounced fruity undertone. Not sparkly-pink fruits, which I hate, but  over-ripe, dark, exotic fruits oozing honeyed nectar. This spicy-fruity accord reminds me very much of that in <em><strong>Fendi Asja<\/strong><\/em>. In fact, R5\/Q&#8217;s beginning seems to me to be a little <strong>too <\/strong>similar to Asja, and maybe just a tad too fruity for my taste. The middle stage is creamy and vaguely floral; about two thirds into the scent&#8217;s development a leather note appears. At first it is a rough, smoky, take-no-prisoners leather, but slowly it begins to soften and turns into the most delicate of calf skins or maybe even suede. Because of the &#8220;fruits&#8221;, the smell of which is still lingering even at the later stage, the mod at this point reminds me quite a lot of <em><strong>Serge Lutens Daim Blond<\/strong><\/em>, which is one of my most favorite scents of all time, but again, I would like a little less similarity. I am sure that if we toned down &#8220;the fruits&#8221;, the similarity would disappear.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"136\" hspace=\"7\" align=\"left\" title=\"Gardenia\" alt=\"Gardenia\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i137.photobucket.com\/albums\/q225\/mg76\/gardenia.jpg?resize=150%2C136\" \/>To sum it up, what I want to be done to Holy Grail now is for the &#8220;fruits&#8221; or whatever it is that I perceive as &#8220;fruits&#8221; in its top notes to be taken down a notch or two. I also would love for the scent to have <strong>a stronger floral accord in its heart<\/strong>. Something languid, exotic and creamy, to compliment the general warm feeling of the composition. Perhaps we could try gardenia? Gardenia and leather&#8230;does it not sound wonderful to you? It does to me! As for the leather note, I think it is just perfect as it is now, not too smoky and forceful but not too wimpy either. So &#8211; less fruits, much more flowers, no change to the leather, and&#8230;we will be done!<\/p>\n<p>Image source, mythinglinks.org,  echonews.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This concludes Marina&#8217;s Round 5 with mod R5\/Q and R5\/R.
