The last nail in the FM coffin.
I will start by saying that I am one of the few who loves the strenght of Promise and the mix of green apple with cypriol just work for me.
The fact that Estee Lauder decides to raise the prices every week, it´s also one thing which does not make me so interested in paying any € to them any longer.
Argument number 3: Frederic Malle, the founder of the house with the same name is OUT, from the summer of 2024 is out and its last creation was ACNE with Suzy Le Helley.
Now, to this scent:
- I got the sample from Spray Parfums with an order and I was happy as a child, unexpected but so nice from them.
- I sprayed on the wrists in the morning, full of "hope" to explore the new scent which costs over 500€ for 50ml (crazy!!) and the first impact was Leather Oud from DIOR with hints of Promise.
After around 2 hours it gets very shy and close to the skin, far away from the strenght of Promise or Oud Aquilaria .. okey then, such a beast "Hope" is not. THen in the dry down it becomes a screachy scent, similar with a 48h later Promise on clothes .. and almost unpleasant for my nose.
To be clear again, this is a scent which costs over 700€ in EU for the 100ml and I do not smell same levels of oud (like im Ombre Nomade or Onyx), sandalwood or rose into the composition (to justify the price somehow).
Conclusion:
From here onwards the Editions de Parfum can only go downwards, into the greedy path with unspectacular scents priced in a drinking binge .. nowhere in this world, a scent smelling like this can cost more than 200€ UVP.
