Is This Release Really a Triomph?...

Triomphe opens with a distinct warmed apple note. The apple is joined shortly afterwards by a nicely done natural incense-like cedar note rising from the base with sandalwood support. Any trace of the heart notes listed on the scent pyramid showing up in the composition eludes my nose, save a trace amount of jasmine that stays well in the background acting as a slight softening agent to the incense-like cedar as the lingering apple from the top notes finally disappears. Projection is minimal and longevity is very good.

Despite its lengthier list of notes in its published composition, Triomphe really is all about the warmed apple and incense-like cedar tandem. It either is a very minimalist scent or the other published notes are so subtle that they are barely detectable with the minor exceptions mentioned in the paragraph above. The notes that are present are all nicely-done and the composition is a good one despite being bare-bones. That said, I can't completely erase a voice in the back of my head that keeps nagging that there just is something missing here. In the end Triomphe is a fairly good but not great composition recommended for trial but not really a buy, earning 3 stars out of 5.

Triumph of Shyness

Once upon a time, there was a little fragrance. It was delicate, fine, and had good potential to offer. Light fruity notes hid behind a shy smoky vanilla paired with flowers that made themselves known the most. But overall, the fragrance was a real wallflower.

It didn't look bad at all, but it could never shake off its shy aura; it only seemed to grow stronger. Other fragrances on the shelf and from the Collection Imperial tried to coax it out of its shell and encourage it to be brave. But it was in vain; it showed itself less and less. Not at parties, not even at work. It just hung out on the sofa, at home, imprisoned behind gray walls and thick curtains.

Sometimes, Triomphe wished to experience courage, to go out and become part of the world it occasionally observed through the window. But these remained just wishes. A truly sad story, really.

After 4 depressing and invisible hours that I spent with it, it disappeared silently, probably back to its spartan, gray apartment. Well, maybe I can get to know its brothers from the Collection Imperial better and for longer... But unfortunately, Triomphe is no triumph and is almost a ghost fragrance... You can hardly see it, even if you believe in it...

Stage Victory

Taking the name of the perfume into account, one already has quite high expectations regarding the scent in terms of intensity and longevity. In this respect, it is more of a stage victory, as both aspects are rather below average.
However, since Triomphe has otherwise matched my taste and I was able to acquire it at a very low price, it made its way into my collection.

Triomphe starts with a rather sweet freshness, paired with an underlying pepper note. However, this only lasts a short while before it retreats in favor of the floral incense note in the heart.

With the heart note, Triomphe holds back a bit on the intensity, so the iris-incense accord is never perceived as intrusive.

The base of Triomphe is then very unremarkable and can only be detected directly on the skin. It's a shame that the base has been composed in such an interchangeable way. Especially after a really beautiful heart note, I would have wished for something more pronounced here. Well, at least this means the scent isn't completely ruined.

Due to this aforementioned restraint, Triomphe is very well suited as a spicy office fragrance for spring and autumn.
