Dovana Sylvaine Delacourte 2016
2
Can you guess where the name comes from? Soapy in a good way...
My second favorite of Sylvaine Delacourte's beautiful musks when I tried them all some years ago. Now I'm retesting only this one and still like it very much.
As the name suggests, I think the inspiration must have been Dove soap. I even went to the drugstore and smelled some Dove products to compare, and there is a connection, but Dovana isn't as harsh as the shower products, it's more tender and refined. Well, I would expect that for the price.
Usually I'm not much into soapy fragrances, but this is soapy in a very good way. Not like sticking your nose into a bar of soap, more like soft soap bubbles on the skin, or like a 'neutral' clean smelling body lotion.
This is a cold, powdery iris and musk scent that gets just enough warmth from the heliotrope to make it still smell kind of cozy and inviting. I would compare the feeling to slipping under a cold duvet on a warm summer night. Even though vanilla is listed in the notes, I don't really smell it here, and this doesn't have a lot of sweetness in general.
Dovana is very easy to wear, it would make a perfect scent for every day/work that can be worn all year round.
