I'm not gonna talk about Star Wars this time, I'm sure of it!
Hello folks, welcome to a new comment from me. Today I will report about Léa of Calypso St. Barth. You can see that for Star Wars fans the name of the fragrance sounds like Leia, the Alderaan princess and later head of state of the New Republic, where they... uh... okay, I didn't want to report about Star Wars... crap...!
After all, this is a woman's scent and you are absolutely interested in the star war saga NULL,... if you knew what you were missing :D
Well then, I'm just babbling about Léa, the nice little scent that no one knows for sure. I've never heard of this fragrance either, even though I spend 30 hours a day here in every corner of Parfumo just to get on your nerves!
In any case, Calypso St. Barth was a clothing brand that also released a few fragrances and recently closed its doors. Well, I didn't know the brand, so I can't say much more about it, but of course it's always a pity for all the fans of this brand. But above all it's a pity, because Calypso seemed to have made quite good scents, too, because I think that this scent is quite successful here!
A little later the fragrance becomes a bit more flowery, you can smell some ylang-ylang and the sweetness of jasmine, but the beautiful, slightly bitter almond fragrance remains the main fragrance. The sweet scents blend with the sweetness of vanilla over time, giving the fragrance more powderiness.
In the base one smells tonka bean and musk on further sweet notes for a short time, but the vanilla soon becomes stronger, so that one basically only smells vanilla as far as sweet and powdery notes are concerned. The almonds also remain for a while, which should please everyone who stands on almonds. Much later the almond notes gradually fade away or become weaker, so that, how should it be any different with intense vanilla notes, later only the vanilla smells.
Soo, Léa is a simple, sweet and gourmand scent, which smells very good, but shows big weaknesses in the Sillage, because it seems to radiate soon after spraying somehow quite small. Nevertheless, this doesn't change the fact that it smells good and where I am sure that you ladies might like the scent, or also us guys at you ladies :)
It reminds of well made, almond-shaped scents of well-known and bigger manufacturers like the scents of Guerlain (e.g. L'Instant Magic), which are all wonderful scents as well. I think it's nice that the Ylang-Ylang doesn't smell very sultry here, which usually bothers me so much personally.
The fragrance is highly recommended in any case, but I doubt you will find it anywhere. But you don't have to be too sad, because he smells like Guerlain etc. very similar. Otherwise, the fragrance would be best used in spring and autumn, as it is neither particularly light nor really heavy. And despite the low charisma I would have recommended him for the evening or to go out, because he really smells delicious to you ladies :)
That's it again. I wish you all a nice evening, you "see each other", until then! :D

The fragrance:
At the beginning I smell a lot of almonds, which is sweetish, slightly powdery and a little heavy. In the background there are citric notes, but these do not loosen up the scent, but together with the almond they look more like a delicious fruit cake with vanilla/almond aroma. A little later the fragrance becomes a bit more flowery, you can smell some ylang-ylang and the sweetness of jasmine, but the beautiful, slightly bitter almond fragrance remains the main fragrance. The sweet scents blend with the sweetness of vanilla over time, giving the fragrance more powderiness.

The almonds also remain for a while, which should please everyone who stands on almonds. Much later the almond notes gradually fade away or become weaker, so that, how should it be any different with intense vanilla notes, later only the vanilla smells.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage has turned out rather weak for an almond fragrance. It may still look strong when sprayed on, but it weakens considerably in the next few minutes, so that you can probably only smell it from close up. Despite the vanilla, the shelf life is not excessively long, which means you get six to seven hours, and that's just the way it is. That's okay, but after half this time the scent is already quite weak. The bottle:
The bottle has been kept simple by its rectangular shape and has name and logo printed directly on it instead of having a label. The brownish plant motifs, which can also be seen on the front, embellish the bottle enormously, which also sets it apart from the other simple bottles. The lid is chrome-plated and also rectangular (but slightly inflated). Everything's okay and nice to look at.
