Le Gemme - Ashlemah Bvlgari 2014

One face is the first 15 minutes, during which lavender and dusty-dry iris have their fun. This does indeed remind me of Prada Infusion d'Iris, somewhat softened, or I would agree with Hannah (who has described the scent so perfectly) that the scent progression somewhat resembles Jersey by Chanel.
This first face will be quickly missed by one part of fragrance enthusiasts, while the other part, who prefers it more subtle, creamier, softer, and skinnier, like me, would rather skip those first 10 minutes. For that, I love the second face all the more. The fragrance becomes one of the most beautiful cream scents with slight powdery nuances that I have ever smelled. This is likely due to violets, heliotrope, and musk. You can recognize the master of their craft who developed this fragrance, or rather, the masteress. While the Nivea scent itself, or Blue by Wolkenseifen, or even Kind of Blue can become quite annoying at some point, this one remains beautifully skinnier, restrained, with ever so slightly fresh hints of lavender, but so minimal that it doesn't disturb; just like with Jersey in style, but distinctly different in scent.
A truly excellent fragrance that once again sparks a desire to purchase. I just don’t wear the first 15 minutes on me.
