Unconventional Colette? More like a soft violet
Named after the scandal-ridden French writer (some may know the biopic with Keira Knightley) raises expectations of an idiosyncratic, or at least expressive fragrance. Colette also starts with a promising, tangy gin and tonic note, the juniper and lemon I clearly detect. The fun is quickly over, however, and in the drydown shy violet powder combines with amber and warm sandalwood, the spices and incense just preventing yawning boredom. The fragrance definitely gives off a well-groomed impression, but by no means a cool and forbidding elegance, it remains warm and inviting due to the slightly sweet vanilla note and musk. A Victorian lady on country trip, no French femme fatale.
I actually detect a similarity to Gypsy Water, but with more lemon and vanilla. Unfortunately, the durability and the sillage leaves much to be desired. Otherwise, a pleasant day companion, sensation will be caused herewith but certainly not.
