Carpool for Women?!
Female passenger? Carpool for women?
Ok, I'm going a bit off the rails again.
When I look at the bottle, I imagine a light, possibly dry, cool summer fragrance.
When I consider the top notes, I envision the same, just with a splash of freshness and a bit of fruitiness.
When I look at the heart and base notes, I hope that the scent doesn’t mutate into a dirty bear fragrance.
Considerations aside.
Passenger pour Femme starts wonderfully green, fresh, and zesty. Again, it’s a fragrance without any sweetness, but rather herbaceous, green, and clear. The geraniums surely play a role here, with a bit of pep from the blackcurrant, bergamot, and pear. None of the fruits really stand out. It’s more of a "blend" of the three, and you can always tell they are present.
After about 2-3 hours, however, it changes abruptly. The freshness and zestiness disappear, leaving behind a creamy scent that strongly reminds me of "My Name" by Trussardi.
The iris and the violet come to the forefront and convey a well-groomed impression.
It becomes proper and cozy. As if you suddenly have a light cuddle blanket around you.
Sandalwood - thankfully only a little of it - underlines and frames the whole thing.
For me, it’s a beautiful scent, but too proper.
Moreover, I prefer the beginning and wish it had stayed that way.

On me, it develops beautifully. Elegant, refined, and somehow quite special. It's subtle, but in an elegant, yet absolutely non-matronly way.

Oh yes... You hit the nail on the head! After a few hours, all I smell is musk and vanilla. Where's the complexity of the initial promise...? It's a shame about the interesting composition - it could have been so lovely...
