Elle Yves Saint Laurent 2007 Eau de Parfum

and well, actually always better.
The first time I stumbled on the forum about Elle, looking for a replacement for Midnight Poison. Quickly, however, the thought of him was displaced by another fragrance (Vengeance Extreme).
A few months later, while shopping at the local Müller, this bright pink bottle with the golden package caught my eye. Only one tester was left on the shelf. Super, I thought, then you can test him yet. Two sprays on the Unteram, hmm ok fruity with a sweetish freshness, red fruits, beautiful but does not blow me away.
Actually, I had at that moment already made a hook to the fragrance, I do not have to have, you have yes Vengeance when it comes to a similar fragrance to Midnight Poison. Your collection has already grown so much lately and you do not have to have so many similar scents.
Nevertheless, the thought of Elle did not let me go in the next few weeks, seems as if he did something with my subconscious, the scoundrel.
So ordered the fragrance, the big bottle. He makes already what her, heavy in the hand and despite the really gaudy pink not kitschy. A real eye-catcher.

I must say I feel my fragrance differently than the tester in the Müller. He also starts fruity / citrus fresh with a certain sweetness, but here comes a certain spice in play, a slight sharpness that I like, he gives the fragrance but a small edge that does not let him go down in this mash of fruity sweet fragrances. The sweetness I feel also not at all as pappig, sticky rather than transparent and nevertheless the fragrance is already strongly perceptible at the beginning.
The rose shows up but soon and can assert itself well next to the red fruits that now come to it, at this time also disappears the slightly brizzelige pepper note that may tickle some in the nose.
After about 2 hours, the fragrance no longer radiates with me so much, but is still easily perceptible. After 4-5 hours, the scent is already close and still comes again and again so a breath that rises to my nose. Now the fragrance is also more grounded by the patchouli, becomes creamy, less sweet, rose and fruits are still to be guessed. After 6-7 hours I must already with the nose to the skin, now he says goodbye so slowly, unless you got what on the clothes ;-)
Does he have something of Midnight Poison? Kind of. Who likes Midnight Poison will also like this, if you do not take it so exactly.
Possibly it is because I bought Elle at the beginning of spring, but I find with still cool spring days he fits perfectly. I also feel him as a good mood fragrance, mood-lifting, somehow he has what of new beginnings, like nature in the spring. I've been wearing it for three days and it does me good.
