So perfect!
For me, Douce Amère is one of the most wonderful fragrances there is. I stumbled upon this scent many years ago, which at that time was fortunately still available everywhere. Today this is a little more difficult. At that time I kept reading comparisons between Douce Amére and Macadam by Il Profumo, my signature. And these cannot be dismissed, even if we are dealing with a completely different fragrance.
Douce Amère had me on the first taster. I knew right away that this scent was mine. There was no letting it get to you and thinking. He took my heart by storm. A fragrance that knows how to combine green, floral and sweet notes in such a way that nothing comes to the fore. A fragrance that is difficult to grasp and classify. A fragrance that is somewhat special but never really unpleasant. Douce Amère is one who matches the evening gown as well as Doc Martens.
He starts off tipsy with absinthe and then gradually oscillates between green, floral and gourmand. I don't smell the cinnamon. On the other hand I clearly perceive an unsweet vanilla in the base. I can't grasp the cedar either, nor can I classify the floral notes. The longer it is on the skin, the softer it becomes. Even though it is not a wummer, it has enough radiance for a whole day and is still very noticeable on the skin the next morning. I'd almost say it's a skin scent, interpreted differently. Hard to describe, you have to try it yourself.
Some perfumes are bound to shake your head, as I own Douce Amère and also Paname by Keiko Mecheri. Yes, the two are fragrance twins, but I can still recognize subtle differences. While Paname is a ticking darker, Douce Amère glows. When I wear DA, I have been asked about my "coffee smell" several times, although I don't find any coffee notes in the pyramid. Paname is drifting more in the direction of dark chocolate. In terms of power, DA is clearly ahead. While you can practically not overdose Paname, with DA it is better to be a little more cautious with the dose. The differences lie in nuances, and those who like one will certainly like the other.
What makes Douce Amère so perfect for me I like to wear it on special occasions. But it is just as discreetly dosed in the business context. And - last but not least - Douce Amère is also a fragrance with which one can snuggle up wonderfully if one hasn't had the very best day. More perfection in one fragrance is hardly possible for me
