A lightweight version of La Petite Robe Noire EDT
One word: It smells like shampooing at a salon
It's interesting. The moment you put it on, a sweet floral spreads out like a flower opening up. It's a typical shampoo note, but it definitely reminds me of cherry blossoms. Yes, it smells like a fruity shampoo. It's a bit like La Petite Noire EDT.
...Let me check. See, sometimes I get scared of "my nose." Look, it's just like that.
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire EDT
Top: Rose, Jasmine
Middle: Cherry, Orange Blossom, Apple
Base: White Amber, White Musk, Patchouli
Apple, Rose, White Flower, Musk, Cherry (Well, this is probably closer to cherry blossom or raspberry. Cherry blossoms don't actually have a scent, so it makes sense to extract the fragrance from the cherry)As usual, this is a reveal, but it's clearly made with La Petite Noire EDT in mind. Because, as I wrote in my review, this EDT is the most popular of the LPRN series in Japan. In fact, I have both again. It's like a game of guessing one they copied.(Oh, I know. It's okay haha)
Well, it's like Guerlain with less fragrance than Guerlain and it's easier for anyone to wear. Guerlain and foreign perfumes are like stereos that are too loud and can't be adjusted to make them feel very strong in Japan. So I think they thought that if they made a lighter version of it, it would sell.
It doesn't smell much like ginjo sake. Because it's ethanol. This note is just for decoration. It's same thing vanilla calles "ice cream note".
What I find very suspicious is that Japanese perfume bloggers who have both don't point out these facts even though it's been years since it was released. If you use it, you should know right away.
If you have LPRN EDT, I don't think you need this one. If you don't have both, and you want a scent that smells more like keratin or shampoo than La Petite, choose this one. It depends on the situation, the amount, and the weather, but I think the duration is shorter than LPRN.
Background
Hanamizake is actually a coined word and is not a common Japanese word. Hanami is when people spread a sheet on the grass during the cherry blossom season and enjoy eating and drinking. Every March and April, there were many people who were taken to the hospital with acute alcohol poisoning, but since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number has dropped dramatically. Cherry blossoms and sake do not completely go together, but it used to be a common sight to see people enjoying cherry blossoms and sake. However, moderation is important in everything!
