Perfect for a wedding
This fragrance is one of the best florals I have ever encountered and it is in my personal top20. I simply find this one of the best scents of all times. Period. Olivier Cresp, who is the nose behind indisputable successes such as Kenzo Amour, D&G Light Blue and Mugler’s Angel, has created this miracle in 2001, and I was so lucky to come by it by accident. I was on a ferry to Germany and had decided to buy another perfume, and on the counter was this scent. I immediately liked the bottle and the clerk encouraged me to try it out. And there I fell in love. I bought it and I have been in love with it ever since. I am half way through my third bottle, 25ml, and it is not for sale anymore. I have two minis as well, but I know that one day I will be looking for it on ebay.
The scent is a soft, powdery and floral blend. It does not change a lot during the 7-8 hours it lasts on my skin. But the fact is that I do not want it change, because it is perfect just the way it is from the beginning. Rose and peony are the most dominating notes but frankincense and sandalwood become louder in the last couple of hours.
The bottle is smooth in your hand. It has a golden top with a matte surface and a black string detail. I like the minimalistic expression and think it suites the scent so well. The fact that they used the Danish model, Helena Christensen as the face in the ad does not make it worse :)
As I mentioned longevity is around 8 hours, and sillage is good. You can wear this scent everywhere and at all times, since this is not a ‘loud’ scent. I get compliments when I wear this. If I were ever to be married, this would be the perfume I would wear.
