It’s a beautiful and elegant fragrance, but don’t listen to people who only know current commercial perfumery. It’s powdery, long-lasting, and not invasive, very much in the style of vintage Rochas and Dior scents. It remains a jewel for lovers of old-school perfumery.
A precious and elegant fragrance, don’t let those who only know commercial perfumes fool you; it’s powdery yet long-lasting without being overpowering, very much in the vintage style of Rochas and Dior. A true gem for lovers of classic perfumery.
It’s awful. I bought it online thinking it would be similar to Baccarat, but it has nothing to do with it; it smells super strong and very ‘old lady.’ Maybe it would suit someone older, but to me, it just looked very ugly. Sorry 😞.
It’s horrible. I bought it online because they said it was similar to Baccarat, but it has nothing to do with it. It smells super strong, very ‘old lady’; maybe it would suit someone older, but I found it very ugly. I’m sorry.
I forgot to mention that it’s truly warm; I wore it in the middle of summer and it was a great companion, though it probably raised my temperature by 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I recommend wearing it after 5 PM if you want to feel special.
At first, it felt vintage and not my style, but after insisting and noticing the real myrtle, I realized it’s hyper-realistic. I absolutely love it now: it’s like diving into a green shadow in a freshly watered garden, with that humid heat that penetrates the skin in a sensual, relaxing way. Sweet and floral, super natural, with a smoky spice note (cinnamon, surely) and amber that creates a luxurious, intense atmosphere that sticks with you for 24 hours, projecting beast mode with just a few sprays. It’s an oriental floral, and I’m sure you’re the only one wearing it. A luxurious, mature bomb, not for fruit lovers, but I’m glad I found this hidden gem from Rouge. Hermès has a brilliant past.
My dad used to buy me this perfume every time he traveled and knew when I was running low; one day he couldn’t find it in the perfumeries or airports. Last week I spotted it in San Sebastián and bought it on the spot. The bottle is different, and the scent is almost the same, though it has a slight twist I can’t quite place, but I love it. Very feminine and super provocative.
