Floral Heavyweight
Well, this is quite intense.
The top note is still somewhat harmless. Peach blossoms are dominant from the start (it also smells a bit like peach skins), but it really gets intense when the flowers mix in. Ylang-ylang, orange blossoms, and jasmine are exceedingly lush, and the peach blossom adds even more. Honey and vanilla are already noticeable in the background, giving the fragrance an endless depth and heaviness. Nevertheless, it remains pleasant and overall does not smell particularly extraordinary, but is very easy to wear. The bitterness that the fragrance doll mentioned probably comes from the chamomile, which I can hardly perceive. It's a pity because this makes the scent unfortunately incredibly sweet, and I'm still considering whether the migraine that is currently coming on is due to the dreary weather or this extremely sweet and heavy floral scent. It does remind me a bit of Angel, only that this one is not floral and has patchouli and chocolate. But that feeling of the fragrance pulling you down like a ton weight is the commonality.
I actually don't find it so unpleasant (aside from the headaches). Every now and then, it can be like this. However, for me, it would be more of a scent for the waning winter. Here, it often drags on endlessly. In recent years, we’ve had real cold snaps in March. For such occasions, Les Petites Coquins suits me well. The sillage is so strong that the fragrance easily withstands sub-zero temperatures. And the floral notes already hint at the hopefully soon-approaching spring. I like that.
I would just change the base a bit. Over time, this honey-vanilla mixture becomes simply too sweet. It lacks a counterbalance.
In my opinion, Les Petites Coquins is already a very successful fragrance. One should not shy away from really heavy, yet modern floral scents. Therefore, I would highly recommend testing it before purchasing.
