Quelques Notes d'Amour L'Eau de Parfum Yves Rocher 2014

There is not a single shrill note in this scent, which is understandable when you look at the pyramide. "Quelque Notes d'Amour's" rosy heart is combined with a nicely balanced base of patchouli, cedarwood and benzoine. Well-behaved and polite, somehow old-fashioned and very quiet. Yves Rocher and perfumer Bertier (creator of Flowerbomb!) opted for good manners and feminine grace. I see shades of dusty pink, rose and apricot, scarfs made of organza and georgette, soft and supple fabrics for a subtle scent which floats and insinuates...perfectly in line with the lighter trend in perfumery. Too shy and conventional for me. Like a faint shadow of "La vie est belle" in tiny, tiny dilution.
