Heaven Can Wait
A new fragrance by our mastermind JCE.
Heaven Can Wait 'til another day, but I could not wait to smell this!
I'd like to add that my favorite band, Iron Maiden, has a song named 'Heaven Can Wait,' so this fragrance is even more sentimental for me.
I am glad that I've managed to get my hands on it a bit earlier than expected... but I had to wait and wear it for a couple of days before I write this review...
Since I've already spent about 5 milliliters, I am now 'authorized' to write.
It's indeed a great addition to the Frederic Malle line as it's completely unique and new. Not just to the FM line, but I've never smelled something like this before.
It's a warm, spicy, woody, and fruity (maybe a bit chypre) scent. It is addictive as hell (or heaven?).
The opening is warm, spicy, and woody. You can instantly tell that it's an iris fragrance, but not as potent as Iris Poudre. It's very interesting to me to smell JCE's take on warm spices... usually, it's not something you'd expect from him.
You can get some hints of Play-Doh in the background, yes, I know... it's funny. But still, it reminds me of Play-Doh.
Musk and vanilla will give you some sandalwoody hints, even though it's not there... the base might be similar to Dans Tes Bras musky base if you have to point your finger at some FM release. It's the smell that you can sense on your tongue too... brilliant and addictive.
You can find some peach and plum in the background, but it's rather there to give you fruity/sweet vibes.
The drydown is woody, musky, slightly dusty with some vetiver to support it.
Projection is solid, aura is beautiful, and it will last for about 12-14 hours on my skin. It's not a beast mode fragrance, but it should not be! Not meant to be. Not designed to be. The beast belongs to Hell, not to Heaven - right?
I've already received a couple of compliments for HCW, and one of those was after 7 hours of wearing it, so it's definitely THERE and PRESENT.
My wife approved of this one too, which is great. Isn't it?
It is indeed a skin-like, warm, lovely, and heavenly smell. Well worth the hype, in my opinion!
It's more artistic than a crowd-pleaser type of scent. I'd put this in the same group as Une Fleur De Cassie, Dans Tes Bras, and Iris Poudre. Art! Art! Art!
Your private heaven!
This is most likely my favorite JCE's release. But time will tell...
