Soft, irresistible and classy Apricot in traditional Rose Patchouli
When I was trying Dolce Bacio for the first time my first thought was "basic Rose Patchouli" and I was thinking Apricot didn't play a big enough role in the scent. It felt like it was hiding too long the first few times I used it. However, I sprayed it one day when I went to the gym and my husband immediately asked what scent I was wearing and you could see from his face that he liked the smell. Since that I have been totally in love with it and I definitely need a full bottle of it.
Dolce Bacio opens up with a beautiful, powerful yet fresh and airy rose and green, bright, earthy Patchouli, and right at the beginning there is no hint of Apricot. That's why it feels so familiar because I love roses and I love Rose Patchouli scents, I have plenty of them. There has to be something special about the scent for me to need another one for my collection. However, it only takes half an hour and Apricot is clearly noticeable. There's nothing groundbreaking about this scent, but like La Baguette , it works in all its simplicity, this one is also sweetly charming and seductive. Apricot brings just the right amount of something extra to the scent to make it work and be interesting. It's not really sweet, nor is it overtly juicy, but it makes the scent velvety and slightly powdery with a subtle Apricot aroma. After my initial disappointment, my opinion has changed and I like that the scent is not so strongly fruity nor sweet. For this reason, the scent remains elegant and does not become playful or too youthful.
As the scent develops, the rose and patchouli become gentler and the apricot becomes clearer, but each role remains until the end. (Just to mention: this has nothing to do with Trésor (1990) Eau de Parfum which is very sweet, clearly fruity perfume.)
The longevity and sillage are both great and the scent stays in the clothes many days.
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.
Another pretty, sensual, fresh rose scent with three exceptional rose qualities in it. Like they say in their website, the rose is the ultimate icon of love. What makes this rose perfume different from others, for example from Dior’s Rose Kabuki, is Blackcurrant bud absolute and Basil in the opening and that vibrant, gentle green and herbal aroma is lingering with enchanting bouquet of roses. I love the airiness and feather-light texture, especially since the scent lasts and projects well and it has a glowing and addictive sillage. Patchouli and moss in the base are bright and subtle which sets this fragrance apart from the usual Rose Patchouli combo.
Givenchy’s La Collection Particulière has surprised me with the versatility of course but with some uniqueness and unisex style as well. I have 5 from that collection and today I’m wearing the most feminine of them. There is something very special in all of them and especially Noctambule, Fantasque and Enflammé are definitely unisex, more of them in the following statements/reviews.
