Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s sublime, feminine, and delicate. It feels like a tender liquid on the skin. Here, the pear and lily carry the show. Perfect for heat without being intrusive. Low sillage and medium longevity on the skin. It’s a refined fragrance, perfect for layering with others. So gorgeous!
I love it; I’m on my third bottle and use it sparingly because it’s no longer available here; what a shame. It was cheap for the quality. Super delicate and exquisite aroma, ideal for spring and summer (it was my favorite for those seasons). Excellent longevity, over 8 hours on skin and a bit more on clothes. Smells like pear, flowers, and clean laundry. I adore it!
What a wonderful, delicate, and hyper-feminine fragrance. Fruity opening with the pear, followed by soft flowers masterfully blended, down to a clean sandalwood and amber base. Perfect for spring or a summer dinner, more suited for the countryside than the beach. Suitable for all ages, with correct sillage and longevity (about 6 hours on me). Special mention to the bottle: great quality, heavy metal cap that evokes a ring, you can feel the touch of a prestigious jewelry house.
What a wonderful, delicate, and hyper-feminine fragrance. It opens fruity, you can tell the pear, then soft flowers arrive, masterfully combined, until a clean base of sandalwood and amber. Perfect for spring or a summer dinner, more in the countryside than at the beach. Suitable for all ages, with correct sillage and longevity, about six hours on me. Special mention to the high-quality bottle, with a heavy metal cap that evokes a ring, you can tell it’s the work of a prestigious jewelry house.
It’s delicious, soft, and delicate, ideal for a young girl or a blind gift; it doesn’t bother anyone, it’s almost ethereal floral. The only downside is that it’s too soft, almost unnoticeable. I have to spray it on clothes for it to last longer. For an Eau de Parfum, it’s a bit weak. But the scent is charming, ideal for people with sensitive noses or prone to migraines. It’s very soft and perfectly appropriate.
I bought it without knowing it, just based on reviews, notes, and brand. Although I verified it’s original via the serial number, it’s the opposite of what was said. It’s very persistent (lasts all day), monolithic (doesn’t develop an olfactory pyramid), with a fruity sweetness like berry jam. There’s a perceptible but moderate acidity, and I can detect the sandalwood and amber. I don’t smell roses, apples, or the clean scent I was looking for. It wasn’t what I expected, but it’s not a bad fragrance. It smells gourmand, not warm or invasive, feels well-constructed, and the bottle with the liquid creates beautiful, distinguished visual effects.
Smells clean, fresh, and sweet with fruity and floral touches. The pear dominates, the sandalwood adds a soft woody note, and the florals (lilies, peonies) on my skin turn into roses, even though I don’t have them. Lasts all day in cold weather and on clothes, and it doesn’t smell like any of the clones people say it is.
I gifted it to my mom for Christmas. Opens sweet and fruity with a star pear, white flowers, and a touch of cypress. In the dry down, there are lilies, jasmine, and lily of the valley over a base of musk and fresh woods. Smells neat, cheerful, and easy to wear, ideal for a summer night after the heat. Moderate fixation and sillage, a great option for gifting.
I gave it to my mom for Christmas. The fragrance opens sweet and fruity, with a standout pear and white flowers, with occasional notes of cypress. In the heart, it’s more floral, with lilies, jasmine, and lily of the valley, blended with a base of musk and fresh woods. It feels neat, cheerful, and easy to wear, ideal for a summer night after a hot day. Longevity and sillage are moderate, a great gift option.
It’s a very accomplished perfume, except that the sandalwood and pear dominate too much and take away its personality, making it similar to others. Young girls will love it, but it doesn’t bring anything new. It has excellent longevity and significant sillage. A ‘pliss’ and that’s it. My motto ‘less is more’ applies here: the fruity top note should be toned down.
It’s a very well-crafted perfume, except that the sandalwood and pear stand out too much and take away its personality, making it similar to others. It could be charming for young girls, but it doesn’t project novelty. It has excellent longevity and a significant sillage. A ‘plis’ and you’re done. My motto ‘less is more’ applies here: you have to tone down the fruity opening.
So delicious! I just bought it and I feel like I didn’t even notice the price of the box with the cream because it smells so good that I won’t get tired of it easily. I love the lily of the valley and I smell coconut, which is blooming a lot here this time of year. I’m in love, I fell in love all over again. Too bad it doesn’t last long on my skin, but I still adore it.
So rich, I just bought it. I regret not checking the price of the box with the cream better because it smells so good that I’ll hardly get tired of using it. I love the lily and smell coconut blossom, which blooms a lot here this time of year. I love it. I fell in love again, although unfortunately it doesn’t last long on my skin, I still adore it.
It’s an exquisite perfume, a delicate floral with a harmonious blend of fruits. I bought it without knowing it and I didn’t make a mistake. It has good longevity and delicate but memorable sillage. The bottle is gorgeous; I think I’ll buy another one. Cheers.
I own tons of perfumes and this is my absolute favorite: simple, it makes you feel delicate, fresh, and present. I wear it all day and out, and in summer I can’t stop putting it on—I’ve already used half the bottle and have to hold back. Highly recommended. R.D.: smells like earth with flowers, fresh, inexplicable yet beautiful. Try it, it has great longevity, lasting over 8 hours on my skin.
