“Controversially rated” Renaissance
When I see someone give 0s to a scent across the board, that’s how I can tell they didn’t take the time to actually even try it. Sure, you can dislike the scent, but to lie and say the performance is bad (longevity and sillage) is not actually doing anything to help people get a good idea of the experience with this scent. Do yourself a favor and look at the breakdown of the ratings for each factor and you’ll see what I mean.
Being a Beyoncé fan, I was surprised and excited to hear that she was going to come out with a new fragrance. The only one of hers I ever experienced was with her Heat line, which my mom dabbled in a little when I was I young girl. So when this was being dropped, I was eager to try it solely based on the packaging. But when I saw the notes, I got even more excited.
Cé Noir is a sweet floral scent with an *intense* combination of myrrh & honey. It can definitely be a lot, but as the florals and pop of clementine come in, the scent softens a lot. Some have compared it to Delina and I guess I could see the relation especially with the rose in the heart. It’s pretty resinous with an animalic honey, so I fully understand why those who have not experienced myrrh would not take a liking to this. But I find it to be very beautiful and wearable, in the cool and warm weather. It’s very long lasting and has a strong projection (gotta be light handed with it)! I think with this release, Bey is redefining herself in a way that speaks for itself. Not everyone is going to understand or agree with her, but she’ll be sure to show out, and I think this fragrance is an excellent representation of her “rebirth” or new era.
I’m excited for Bey’s new scent to come out. I know a lot of people LOVE to hate on her, and that could be why you see some of those ratings. Don’t listen to the trolls who have nothing but dust to contribute and give it a try for yourself. You may be surprised.
