I adore the opening of Sexy Angelic, and I’m not usually a huge almond fan. After that, yeah, rather dull.

A friend offers me “Bonte’sbloom” it smells like herbal tea…I am very disapointed because the concept and the nose are great……Sexy Angelic smells lovely but for five minutes

I'm quite sure something is lost in translation, and if you read LianH's comment above, it isn't as bad when you add the earlier bit. Still, seems like a silly way to describe a perfume.

I should note, however, that I'm not at all sure it is the brand's own description — it did come from another website (beaute-addict)

No,' jeunes filles en pleurs' doesn't conjure up girls crying with laughter at all. The words 'rire' or 'rires' or 'larmes de joie' or smthg indicating that they're not crying b/c they're unhappy would appear *somewhere* in the sentence. Anyone described as being 'en pleurs' is miserable, not happy.

I agree with Jirish Joe. No matter how I read that sexy angelic it turned me off and made me think of abuse of a child in the worse way. I guess being in the US I am ultra wary of things that seem to imply such. But I found the notion of rubbing almond on the washed skin of a “young”GIRL in tears highly disturbing. I hope that is due to something being lost in translation from french to english.

It would be a useful one though.

Thank you for recognizing this parallel play with words! Although I associate les jeunes filles with the beach at Balbec and bicycles… haven't re-read Proust in a while and should.

The freshness of a forbidden light touch

La Fraîcheur frôle l’Interdit

Now I'll see if I can find a better translation for that sticky tape thing

What is mentioned above the crying child is roughly
Sexy Angelic is a perfume for girls to bite into. Girl decrets are revealed to other girls, to (literally sticky tape ) capture the boys.
This gives me the idea the tears could be tears of laughter when you are telling secrets to your friends and joking around.
It's still a bloody weird description though
