Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
They say the person who named this perfume burst out laughing during the tasting. Like a medieval monk drawing elephants from hearsay, they decided to call it something caramel-y, having nothing to do with violets—either they were lost or a pervert. Here we go (drums roll)… another Baccarat Rouge! What joy and what fuss. It smells like the dentist’s office, but at least it doesn’t scream as much. I dared to spray it fearlessly to review it properly (yes, I’m sacrificing myself for those of you who read this), and out of all the clones and inspirations of the 2020s, this is the least offensive. Saffron, wood, and a very soft suede are the notes I get, and they have little to do with the declared pyramid. In conclusion: if we want violet caramels, we have Celeste by GdT (a masterpiece, so often misunderstood). But for a BR540 inspiration that isn’t so annoying, I’d bet on this New Notes.
I tried a decant and I’d say I might consider buying it in a large bottle. It’s a fragrance of sugared, almost candied violets, very fitting for the name. The opening has a slight acidity from the orange, which I perceive more as sanguine. The violets, and in the heart phase too, seem accompanied by an almond touch, as if the flowers were bathed in almond oil. The dry down is what I like least; it reminds me a bit of BR540, but without the burnt sugar, just a hint of amber, slightly salty, with wood that makes me think of BR540. Maybe the cane sugar in the heart notes contributes to that similarity, but I don’t think so, or at least I don’t feel it that way. It has good longevity, more than eight hours on me, and an impressive trail. As I’ve already said, I think I could buy the large bottle; if I end up doing it, I’ll update this review.
