Bijou Romantique Etat Libre d'Orange 2012

Yes, this fragrance is simply WOW, it hits like a scent bomb;-)
I usually prefer lighter scents, so heavy candidates don’t have it easy with me, but this one is really beautiful and also reminds me of a fragrance, I just can’t recall which one it is.

I once had 2 samples of fragrances that have this scent direction and are somewhat similar, at least at the beginning. One sample was "Geisha Noir" and the other "something with Rouge." Well, I honestly don’t know which fragrance it was; I’ve already looked at all the fragrances with Rouge in the name three times, but I just can’t figure it out.

In any case, the fragrance reminds me of one of the two or a mix of both; maybe you’ll figure it out when you test this;-) Or maybe I’ll remember it someday;-)

So, the fragrance is heavy, at least for me, but not overwhelming, quite pleasant for the winter months I would think. Right now, it’s not for me, but in winter, sitting by the fireplace, simply wonderful and totally romantic, if you have a babysitter;-)

The scent lasts and lasts; yesterday it was easily 10 hours. It becomes lighter over time but remains beautiful. Thank goodness the lemon is only very lightly detectable, sage, pepper, bergamot, vanilla, and ylang-ylang are very nicely noticeable, it’s just very beautiful and also somewhat hard to describe. The vanilla makes the fragrance soft and pleasant, really nice for cuddling.

So, this one is going straight on the wish list, definitely worth a test.

THANK YOU PARFUMO, without you I would have never tested this!
