Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Agree with Yulieta: a boozy rose, violet, and powdery cream scent. What a beautiful fragrance! It reminds me a lot of Tresor, though this one is more subtle. Delicious—I love it!
Update: Spring has arrived, and it improved on warmer days. The opening is macerated peaches (not fresh ones, which can be overwhelming in the heat), and after half an hour, it settles into a fruity base with a delicate, sweet floral bouquet. It remains soft but lasts a maximum of two to three hours. Maybe it’s my pH; when I open the bottle, I smell an exquisite combination of violet and rose that I can’t quite capture on my skin. I wish it smelled like that on me. I bought it blind and still haven’t deciphered its essence. In the opening, there’s that typical ’90s peach note (à la Tresor, Jaipur, or Kashaya), but after half an hour, it becomes a soft, barely sweet, floral, and almost imperceptible scent when you press your nose to it. It lasts another hour. Zero sillage, zero projection, and no trace on clothes. I was looking for Lalique and found it at a good price. The bottle is a work of art; mine has a kiss in the center that changes depending on the angle. I’ll give it a chance in spring. For now, I think the beauty of the packaging justifies the purchase.
I don’t detect pepper on me; it’s sweet—I even thought it had vanilla. I smell lots of amber, rose, and gardenia with sweet, juicy blackcurrant and soft yet intense sandalwood. I picture myself paired with lace, ribbons, jewels, cream tones, champagne skin, silver, and gold. In the dry down, I notice jasmine and amber. I agree: it’s like a good glass of sweet wine that invites and recreates a feast and a celebration. Definitely not for the office, but for special occasions—afternoons or nights—and in my opinion, when it’s cold. Do you have plans to enjoy treatments worthy of a queen? Let them serve the table of delights and rejoice with Le Baiser. It reminded me of Kenzo’s Kashaya, but this one is more refined and creamy. It has the good quality of Lalique, which adds up. It’s very feminine and distinctive. Regardless of taste, it’s for mature women, not young girls.
It’s like a glass of wine made of rose petals: sweet, tender, and fruity. A symphony of thousands of luminous roses with a bright touch of pepper. You can also detect the gardenia, very soft and incredibly beautiful. The base is slightly vanilla, creamy, and powdery, though I don’t notice much violet; the dry rose powder is better—warm and fine with a subtle musk note. An adorable fragrance.
