Creamy white floral in a phallic bottle
Essence d'eau is one of those little known beauties with a price tag that defies its quality. Signature scent worthy for the right wearer, Essence is an alternative to the overdone & highly recognizable celeb sugars du jour.
Essence d'eau is a modern, warm, & creamy oriental, with an emphasis on floral, especially on the top. The orange blossom & jasmine open for me straight away - I don't catch fruit. The drydown is gorgeous, sweet & very sensual. Essence is very strong & somewhat heavy early on, but not very long lasting, imo. For me personally, Essence is a bit heavy on the jasmine (my skin amplifies jasmine) & bit tilted toward the feminine factor. It's SO not my thing, but it is SO beautiful and I DO appreciate it. It's perfect for date nights, which is why I have a bottle.
The bottle is a phallic, down to the plastic top. (Seriously, you've gotta see the top, looking down upon it. It's also phallic.) In addition, my bottle leaks a little, which ironically seems appropriate. The box - really lovely, covered in fabric (?) & simply beautiful. Overall, the quality of the product & package defies its price .
But the name? Essence of water? Water reduced to its essential character? It's far too sensual & sexy to be water. Both the juice and the falcon defy its name. This is a beautiful, sensual sweet fragrance that's only missing one thing ... a battery.
