Personal opinion- no poetry, notes already described by others
This! If I could choose only 1 perfume from my whole collection, without sentimental value, this would be it.
Let me clarify why.
My skin (regardless I hydrate it or not) destroys any perfume, the perfumes that are declared here as being able to last up to 6 hours on some people's skin, on mine it lasts maybe 3 hours (at best, and very faint) . Frederic Malle Promise sticks with me the whole day. On my clothes I can detect it 3 days after I wash them (the last notes) .
The opening for me is a harsh peppery smell. Only after a few sprays and months, I started smelling some apple (if I get my nose really into the spot, and only for a few seconds) . Afterwards it progresses into a sweet note (the Roses) . The drydown is sweet sour to my nose, and a hint of roses (on the clothes at least) . This is a sophisticated, mature perfume. I can' t praise it enough, I can only recommend it.
I need only one spray, 2 are overwhelming
Projection is humongous
It truly lasts
It is expensive, however, seeing you save up on the amount of sprayings, it is worth it
I love this so much, that I ordered a second bottle a few months after purchasing the first, just in case.
Best perfume I smelled and owned, up until now.
This is the one and only perfume I' d keep from my small collection- best quality. End of story.
