Floral fête
This is an absolute delight!

Upon first spritz, the cassis takes centre stage, crisp and green but softened by the musk which is just about perceptible - and for this, all the more a pleasant note here.
The magnolia is dancing around it, the flowery hint present but not overpowering. Here these two are waltzing around in perfect harmony, with the musk backing them suavely.

It is a crystalline combo, fresh and cozy at the same, somewhat soft. It really works and the balance is truly surprising. And it's not your typical flowery, non descriptive scent. It's a very distinctive one, though it vaguely brings to mind another fragrance I wore many years ago. Cannot put my finger on it, so in any case this is really unique in its own right.

I can see myself wearing this all spring and summer, and winter too when I need a reminder of what's to come with warmer, sunnier days.
It makes me want to go somewhere up on a mountain in full spring, basking in the bright sun and green and flowery scents all around.

Projection is 3 feet - impressive! And the bottle... sturdy and beautiful!

I give this a full 7 and will run right now to buy a back up bottle.
Well done Mauboussin, an underrated house deserving to be recognised.

Most Promise
It delivers on its promise. Promise Me is a budget alternative to 'Si' The tart juiciness of Si is lacking but if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery the House of Armani can consider itself flattered. My bottle of Promise Me was a quarter of the Armani model and yet was still housed in a nice bottle. I tested a few while I waited for a script at the chemist (La Petite Robe Noir, Boucheron Place Vendome, others) and have to say that Promise Me had the most promise.

Pink Patchouli-Rose as February Comfort
I hate the month of February. It is cold, often gloomy. In the mornings, I turn on my daylight lamp to adjust my melatonin production a bit. Even in January, I long for the sight of colorful flowers, the scent of freshly cut grass, alpine herbs, lakes, and the sea. I yearn for warmth and the atmospheric heaviness before a thunderstorm. I am already looking forward to the smell of the deep green, cool forest and the sight of the flowers in my mother's rose garden. Today, I’ve had enough. I search for relief in my perfume drawer in the morning. At first, I think of a floral bomb, rummage around, and find "Promise me." Due to time constraints and the late hour, since I have to go to work, I squeeze the tube and spray myself. My scent receptors react within a very short time, and my brain sends me feelings of happiness! I see a pink rose nestled on light patchouli leaves, sultry warmth flows through me, other flowers, perhaps in white, sneak in quietly. Oh, feelings of happiness on a dull, cold February morning, and I enjoy it for quite a while; until the afternoon, this well-made and high-quality little fragrance delights me!

Surprisingly Good
The scent strongly reminds me of "Modern Muse le Rouge," but a bit more oriental; the components are very concrete.

I smell the mandarin, fruity base and not too sweet, a thick floral mandarin.

I can smell the rose very prominently, classic roses dusted with heliotrope, creamy and warm, very feminine.

And lastly, the patchouli, it emphasizes the scent, gives it character and does not overwhelm; it takes away the sweetness and makes it balanced,
balsamic, oriental, and grown-up.

The scent hardly develops on my skin but fades gently.

The bottle is very pretty and of high quality.
The scent is not cheap stuff; I smell quality.

Sillage is expressive but not overpowering.
Longevity is very good; I can still smell it days later on my clothes in the laundry basket and on my pillow.

I have received many compliments, mostly from men...

All in all, a successful fragrance.

Basically nice and friendly. Rosy-fruity. But the rose is quite overpowering. For rose fans. Too much for me.

Intense DNA, but softer. A dark rose, drizzled with mandarin juice, rests on heliotrope flakes, a patch stick glows softly fragrant.
