Les Plaisirs Nature - Pomme Délice Apple Delight Yves Rocher 2012

A Tester Mistake? Luckily Not Quite!
When I tested "Les Plaisirs Nature - Pomme Délice / Apple Delight" about a week ago, I found the scent incredibly apple-like - it was basically just apples. Not fresh, crisp apples, but warm, mild apples - similar to baked apples or apple tea. So much for the tester.
The scent then lingered in my mind for quite a while, and somehow the little collector in me prevailed. So, I went back to Yves Rocher this week to buy the fragrance. I didn't test it again immediately beforehand. Apparently a mistake! Because when I got home and sprayed a little from the small bottle onto my wrist, the scent was suddenly completely different! (I had also worn it on my skin during the first test.) It smelled, I have to agree with my predecessors, very artificial and somehow a bit "bitter" (I don't know how else to describe the smell, but I had a similar experience with the strawberry scent from the line). I would have preferred to wash the scent off immediately, but from experience, I know that these fragrances from the "Les Plaisirs Nature" line don't last for hours anyway. Besides, I wanted to give the scent a chance and see how it developed. It was worth it! Although no bombastic, new scent emerged that I couldn't live without, the artificial note was obviously only present in the top note. In the heart note, it was still slightly there at the beginning, but it gradually faded into the background during the unfolding of the heart note. Instead, the wonderful warm-vanilla, but not spicy, baked apple scent that I already knew from testing emerged. A wonderful scent, even though it is very sweet and unfortunately not very long-lasting. The heart note disappears quite quickly, and the base note (vanilla, I can't detect anything more) comes to the fore, but it also fades relatively quickly. After about two hours, I would have needed to reapply.
A very short intermezzo - first you have to wait for it, and then it's already gone again. What a shame!
Still, I'm glad I bought the scent because I like it. The baked apple in the heart note and the vanilla afterwards are somehow worth it to me, as I love both - apple and vanilla - very much.

I found it terribly sweet at first, but I gave it a second chance. Now I think it's quite nice for an occasional wear. It's autumnal and apple-like, after all. *lol*
