Just a Summer Love or More?
Unexpectedly often comes...
Avant et Après arrived as a Pafory scent package, and I honestly didn't expect much.
It made it onto my list due to its fragrance notes, which sounded quite nice, so I just sprayed it on while shopping...
Even the first breath of this fragrance feels like a sunbeam on the skin... a tropical-fruity Frangipani note, accompanied by a delicate lemony freesia, giving the scent a floral, slightly sparkling opening. There’s also a pleasant aquatic note, which I usually don't particularly like, but here it integrates perfectly. I feel like I'm in the Caribbean.
In line with this first impression, a bouquet of white flowers unfolds in the heart, but it is by no means intrusive. Ylang-Ylang, orange blossom, Arabian jasmine, and Monoi blend together like rich, oily sunscreen on the skin. This interplay radiates pure sunshine for me, exotic, tropical, sweet, yet still elegant, not overwhelming.
I’m already in a great mood while shopping...
In the base, the fragrance calms down, and a seductive warmth surrounds me. Vanilla envelops me subtly, while musk and benzoin underscore the sweetness. The vanilla remains pleasantly understated... an elegant, white floral summer sweetness that isn’t too loud or girlish.
Avant et Après was a truly positive surprise for me. Tropical-fruity, with a light floral heart and a beautiful, moderate sweetness in the base.
The creaminess of the Frangipani, the freshness of the freesias, and the exotic Monoi come together with delicate white flowers (jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang), a hint of marine freshness (iodine), and subtle, warm vanilla to create an elegant, creamy, sunny summer fragrance that immediately evokes thoughts of warm beaches without screaming for attention. The scent is modern and feminine, a gentle play between fruity-floral and powdery warmth.
I was instantly in love. Whether it remains a summer love or the feelings endure beyond the warm season will remain to be seen...

Great description. I tried a sample and my bottle is on its way to me.
