A blooming rose bud

Clarins has made Par Amour and Par Amour Toujours. The two have the rose in common. I love the way the rose is introduced in this. It is fresh like a rose bud that has just opened and it is both elegant and modern. This I consider a ‘young’ smell - it would improve every young girl’s appearance due to the freshness - add youth to her skin tone, her scent and her charm. Who would not want that?
The bottle adds to the impression of this perfume being for the young audience. I like it but I feel it is made for someone else.

An answer to the question: Can a perfume comprising only pink notes be produced?

Clarins PAR AMOUR TOUJOURS oddly removes the sandalwood from its predecessor and namesake and injects a hefty dose of grapefruit into the mix. I don't want to go too deeply into the incoherent marketing concept here--pictures of small children abound--but suffice it to say, sticking strictly to the quality of the juice, that this flanker is definitely NOT an improvement on the original.

The very citrusy edp opens with a bright burst of grapefruit, similar to when you squirt yourself in the eye while eating one, but quickly and intermittently morphs into something redolent of Lemon Pledge--perhaps an illusion caused by the pink pepper-currant-grapefruit combo?

In the end, in the drydown, I do detect far more rose here than in PAR AMOUR. As other reviewers have remarked, the staying power of this edt is pretty weak--just to throw another contradiction into mix: PAR AMOUR TOUJOURS (not)...

The one thing this perfume is consistently is pink.

Spring in a bottle

My very first comment - be gentle...

I am surprised that this "instant antidepressant" is rated so poorly here...

Sure, the longevity leaves much to be desired and the sillage is not overwhelming either. Anyone expecting a fragrance evolution will likely be disappointed.

BUT: this scent! My nose hairs are curling. They are rejoicing and dancing! It smells to me like a bright garden rose on a cool morning after a night of heavy rain. It smells of young, fresh life, innocent joy, youthful freshness, and overflowing energy.

I absolutely must have it again!
