Alizée Detaille

... it’s 20 degrees, the birds are chirping in the trees, the sun is shining, and what does a woman need? A beautiful fragrance! All the annoyance, all the little things are forgotten. Alizée is spring on the skin. Alongside buoyant citrus notes, violets greet me, which are still not visible in our garden. It was probably too cold for too long. In April, white, light blue, and purple violets will bloom. I never pick them; they are so fragile and delicate. To smell them, you have to lie down on the ground. (Good exercise for the old bones, ouch!). They have a lightly sweet scent, with the darker ones blooming a bit more robustly.
When the delicate violet has faded or crumbled, a bouquet of the most beautiful spring flowers awaits her. It is sweet enough not to be kitschy, but definitely not synthetic. A wonderful bouquet.
Despite the vanilla (which I am sometimes skeptical about and can gladly do without in fragrances), there is no vanilla sugar aroma, as the base is finely balanced and leaves a creamy woodiness.
Hmm, I don’t find Alizée that skinny at all; it makes a clear statement. I’m going to sit in the lilac bush and trill...
