I have already finished a bottle of the original La Petite Robe Noire EdP and still own another one because I like it so much. It is one of my favorite autumn/winter fragrances; I love the fruity cherry combined with almond, tea, and vanilla. A gourmand of a different kind that really only works below 10 degrees - otherwise, it becomes cloying.
So, I thought to myself one beautiful spring that I needed to get a lighter version for the warm season. And since the EdT is highly praised here, it ended up in my collection more or less blindly. Unfortunately, I find this perfume so bad that I have since given it away - I just can't stand the smell. Even after spraying it on, the top note annoys me, and it doesn't get any better throughout the entire duration.
For me, LPRN EdT doesn't smell creamy or like cake at all; it smells like air freshener, like the toilet scent we have at work in the restroom. Honestly, it makes me feel really sick; the combination of artificial apple with gummy bear cherries is just totally nasty. For me, nothing is balanced or refined here; I would even prefer a cheap, floral drugstore scent. And it certainly has nothing to do with a chic black dress... Sorry, I don't like you!
Thanks for the comment! After trying the EDT, I had mentally crossed the EDP off my list. But maybe I should keep an eye-or rather a nose-on it if I come across it again. Your comment is definitely encouraging.
Thanks for your comment on the EDT. I've added it to my wishlist because the EDP seemed too heavy for me so far, and this one might be lighter and more refined. I definitely need to test it out too.
