Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The moment I opened it, it brought back memories of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and even baby colognes; it’s very pleasant, soft, and delicate.
I bought it at Discovery just to try it, and they say it reminds me of Byredo’s Gypsy Water. You’re right: the woody, vanilla-citrus notes are there, but this is a kinder, sweeter, more feminine version. Like Gypsy Water, it’s fairly linear, with a powdery, creamy touch—maybe from the violet. To me, though, it always felt more ‘yellow’ than ‘violet’. The projection is there, but soft, and longevity is short, around six hours. It’s a very feminine, tender, cheerful scent, perfect for mild-weather days or cool evenings when you want to curl up at home with a book or someone close. I don’t see it as better or worse than Gypsy Water, just a different take. Like this one, it’s missing something that would convince me to buy it. What a pity, because I really wanted to like it more. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 5/10
A lovely woody aromatic fragrance with a subtle violet undertone. It’s special, transparent, enveloping, and pleasant, with a warm, cozy touch. The contrast between wood and cyclamen gives it that perfect masculine-feminine balance I love so much.
