Ri(e)cht(ig) good!!!
First of all: for about 30 years my absolute favorite fragrance has been Aromatics Elixir Perfume and I would still love to wear it, but unfortunately I only notice it on me for a very short time after spraying it on, so the search for a new "that-is-me fragrance" led me to this page (unfortunately with the usual collateral damage such as the horrified look at the account or increasing lack of space *sigh*). Before that, I had hardly ever dealt with fragrances and had to learn 1. various technical terms and 2. my preferences (e.g. "chypre"... a few weeks ago I had a huge question mark in my thought bubble when I heard the term).
Thanks to a super lovely perfumer (thanks again to Igraine) who sent me a fantastic sample pack, and after reading the descriptions/reviews, I learned a lot.
She was also the one who gave me the tip to try the Grasse Experience. Given the price, I immediately did so.... and what can I say? It's a really successful dupe and, to my great delight, I even notice it on me for longer than my AE.
The GE is "milder" and less "nasty" (at the beginning) than the AE, but the composition is really very similar. It's probably just a small difference that gets my perception back on track, but of course I'm totally happy :)
I can only agree with many statements on this: it's a more subtle version of AE (which is really a joke in terms of price), and for all those who like chypre, a fragrance for every season and occasion, nothing sweet and/or powdery (like me), but something rather unusual, I can only recommend spending the approximately 7.00 (!) euros (50 ml, Amazon) and giving it a try.
