Sultry Dream

Ame Toscane is another "powder dream" candidate. However, I find Ame T. to be very heavy and extremely cuddly. Thankfully, this phase does not persist throughout the entire scent journey. It is only at the beginning. It presents itself as extremely slick and forms a thick film on the skin. The powder note is immediately present, extending throughout the entire duration until the end. Simply a powder scent! Period. The heaviness that is noticeable at the beginning, in my opinion, is a hefty pinch of iris, which comes across as somewhat cloying and too mature. I can't particularly follow the pyramid. Because the pleasant peach only reveals itself later. When it does appear, the scent becomes much lighter and distinguishes itself a bit without letting go of you.

Towards the end, a gentle hint of vanilla comes through, making the scent feminine and lovely. It also has a subtle touch of animalistic notes, though this does not pull the perfume into the dirty and dark. It is a hint of desire and sultry dreams that can be found in this fragrance.

A powder dream for the nights when you surrender to your dreams. Not hot, not dirty.

The bottle is something different. A reclining "S" with flowing hair. Open, cascading hair. Beautiful. I like it. The longevity is well served at 5 hours, in my opinion.

So now off to the pink powder clouds ;)

At first, the scent reminded me of sweet lemon ice cream. My bottle isn't the newest anymore, but I don't think the perfume is bad. It's fresh and sweet, and there's a powdery note that comes through as well.

Exactly: I also mentioned **greasy** as a daytime scent!

Heavy scents aren't really my thing, but your comment is lovely (as always), and the bottle is indeed beautiful :-)

Sounds very nice except for the greasy opening. The rest really sounds good :)

Obviously, it doesn't smell like the pink powder puff from Fifi Chachnil. It's going on my wishlist - thanks to your sensual and sultry description!

Wow, the female appeal of this fragrance says a lot, but I'm happy to let you have the powder puff. It does smell really nice on women's skin. :))
