Red Jam Fruity Floral

After reading several rave reviews of Brecourt L'AMOUREUSE, I came dangerously close to buying a bottle blind. Fortunately, rationality prevailed, and I ordered the sample set instead. I say "fortunately" because this turns out to be another jammy floral very similar in style and quality to many designer perfumes on the market today.

I think that I was expecting a different quality level of perfume, although it is true that this self-proclaimed niche line is quite modestly priced. Seems like a case where you get what you pay for. In this case, L'AMOUREUSE offers a sort of compote of red jam berries and flowers, including rose. But I myself would not categorize this as a rose perfume.

This perfume might be a good choice for people attempting to transition from designer to haute niche, but it's much closer to the former than the latter, at least according to my nose.

Not what I thought it would be

Huge no for me, the perfume was not as good and fruity as expected... The jasmine smells so wrong mixed with the fruits and actually kind of remove the super yummy fruit aspect. A very musty and dirty jasmine mixed with a bit of raspberry and cannot really smell any other fruits. The notes look so tempting but the fragrance is actually not that good.

Room Spray "Apple - Orange"

Well, the Brecourts. I haven't tried them all yet, but here is yet another fragrance in the "Yawn" category, and unfortunately, also in the subcategory "Wanted but Not Achieved." While other boring, pardon, unspectacular scents from this house are at least somewhat well-made, L'Amoureuse unfortunately also shows qualitative weaknesses.

The perfume starts off quite promising. The opening is crisp, zesty, and I look forward to a possible chypre development; the citrusy-bitter orange peel with a skillfully dark-sweet contrast piques my curiosity and puts me in a favorable mood for this creation.

And then it happens very quickly. Suddenly, another note slithers in and ruins everything. Plastic. Very synthetic, unfortunately. I think this was supposed to be an apple note. But alas, from now on it smells like an air freshener from the drugstore, scent direction "Apple - Orange." Fruity and artificial.

As with some other Brecourts, all the ingredients here have been so minimized and homogenized that only a single scent note has come out of it, and that is once again very boring. There is no multidimensionality, no depth, no development. It’s a bit like mixing all the colors of the watercolor set endlessly until a dull gray comes out at the end. This is especially true for the base, which is simply floral-fruity-sweet, but unfortunately also with the plastic note.

No.

What does it remind me of....

I can't help it, but this scent reminds me of one that I know. I just can't name it. It is a fragrance that I must have worn or at least tried many years ago. But I can't recall.

All in all, very pleasant and mass-appealing. The opening is fresh and floral, but within a few minutes, it becomes fruity sweet. This fruity-floral-sweet note runs like a red thread through the entire fragrance journey and changes very little during that time.

Even at the end, it still smells - after now 10 hours - fruity-floral and sweet. This sweet note becomes annoying over time, and the fragrance would surely benefit from being less sweet. Individual components are hard to identify; at the very beginning, I can perceive a bit of rose, which quickly disappears. The fruity notes remind me of ripe peaches and various berries.

The sillage is so-so, but the longevity is enormous. Applied last night, it still shows the same scent note now, and I almost fear that I won't be able to wash it off even with multiple washes. Washing once certainly didn't make a difference.

For this reason alone, the fragrance is not for me. I like to switch scents, even throughout the day, which is hardly possible here. By the way, I don't like black bottles unless the content is as brilliant as in Black Orchid.

Conclusion: a pleasant, mass-appealing, and not particularly striking fragrance for the younger generation.

Bubble-Gum Kiss

According to Brecourt's fragrance description, a woman who is freshly in love should smell like this. Well, I have been in love several times in my life, or at least I thought I was, but I have never smelled like this, and I would never want to smell like this.
It is a small, sweet fruit cocktail. The scent reminds me at most of teenagers who are frantically popping a Juicy Fruit gum from Wrigley between their teeth before their first real date with a boy. On top of that, they have washed their hair with a fruit shampoo and then kneaded way too much mousse into it. The Labello leaves a thick trace on their swollen lips and also has some kind of fruity taste. This is way too much fruit for me, and I really don’t like it when fruity scents come off as soda-like or fizzy. At some point, the pubescent fruit salad disco calms down, and then a hint of rose actually emerges, along with a whisper of a creamy base from behind. The scent does get a bit better, but not good.
I think teenagers in love smell like this because they enjoy fruity care products. But adult women smell different when they are in love, as they choose the fragrances they use with care. For example, they opt for timelessly feminine scents or fragrances that exude a bit more sex appeal, depending on how they define that.
But with an overly sweet fruit cocktail, you can really only seduce little boys who still have braces and pimples on their faces or men who lack refined taste and take whatever comes.
Conclusion: not for adult women. A scent for girls aged 9-17.
