Hyperbole Courrèges 2016

Hyperbole is a warm sweet aromatic tabacco vanilla combo with lots of tonka bean and a green patchouli which gives it a nice fresh side. Not at all overwhelming, it is an easy to wear cool weather perfume which I'm really happy to have added. Not an ordinary take on vanilla for women perfumes. I don't know why this one isn't more popular. Sillage is quite good, longevity is not too long just around 6h but it is really nice to reapply and it can be found for a very friendly price. The colour of the perfume is very nice and I like the idea of bottle design but I don't really get why the cap doesn't cover the sprayer, it doesn't make sense to me.

This fragrance is an Air France exclusive release for October 2016. I was able to sample it thanks to the courteous flight attendant who then tracked down two bottles for me.

This scent is all about pipe tobacco- it opens a little sharp and tannic, like unheated tobacco. Quickly it becomes sweet and camphorus, like the hot red tobacco. The drydown is languid and sweet and brings to mind trails of smoke. The effect is fairly straightforward, without a lot of complicated structure or development. Hyperbole is a lovely and natural choice for an autumn fragrance, for either gender. Very enjoyable and comforting to wear.
