Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
So tender! This is the first scent where I can truly recognize the lily among all the notes. A super elegant floral. I completely agree with Chrystiane. Please keep gathering more data and include it in this great perfume encyclopedia.
I stumbled upon this on sale. It reminds me a lot of Estée Lauder’s Plaisir; it’s delicate and feminine, perfect for spring or autumn mornings without a coat but with a blouse. It smells like white flowers, like walking into a florist preparing a bridal bouquet. I see this for a young-spirited woman dressing up to work or run errands—not for teens or ‘ladies.’ It’s rich, soft, fresh at first, and incredibly elegant. It doesn’t have a huge sillage; you notice it when you get close, it doesn’t overpower or cause headaches, but it signals cleanliness and coquettishness. Lasts quite a bit for an EDT; with two sprays on my neck, I still detect it after more than 5 hours.
Unlike the previous one, I consider Murmure to be wonderful and incredible. The lily gives it that standout note that sets it apart: powdery and floral, similar to the classic Ville Lumière by Egoïste that my aunt used, which unfortunately isn’t on Fragrantica.
