Delicate green with purple tones
I was looking for a light, feminine lavender scent - preferably niche - that wasn't boring. I love Mon Guerlain Intense - but it's too much for every day for me. Definitely. I honestly didn't think it would be that hard.
Long story short: I eventually found myself at the Chloé counter. I had little hope. Chloé is not really my brand, I gave Normade almost full to a friend a few weeks ago. And the first spray on paper of Lavanda? Quite creepy. Just pungent cleaner green and no lavender. I was persuaded to test the scent on my skin.
Lo and behold, the top note is still really NEON GREEN (grass and lemon for me) and I don't smell any flowers in there, unfortunately. Sorry! The pungent fades fortunately quickly. The scent still tends to be green for me, but softens up, the lavender shines through and there are some florals in there too. It has a bit of a flower meadow flair, I'd say.
The scent is no doubt quickly skinnier later in the dry-down, more floral and powdery - which I personally find very sexy.
Lavanda deserves a chance: please don't judge it directly at the counter and on paper. The discrepancy was very large in my case.
PS: 'sexy lavender' tips are still very much appreciated by me. ;)

A Quiet Oriental
Actually, it is a contradiction in terms: what, pray tell, is a 'quiet Oriental'? In this case a fragrance that doesn't deny its origin, spicy, a little bit of citrus, with a rose touch later (I get that too). It is warm and gets really soft after...
