'ello from the other side ...
Well, now I would like a French version of 'Hello' .. this is what I get when my cerebellum turns Adèle into Adele before my first coffee. It certainly sounds fine - can someone please cover this or commission it?
But back to France. Adèle fluttered into my home as a bonus to the wonderful Rose Shiso. What I have tested so far from the house has been very harmonious & pleasing, so I had high hopes that this one wouldn't make me breathe in powdery dust.
Off with the lady and lo and behold, you know this one? After a few minutes of confusion and frantic scent memory digging, I came to two realizations:
1) Adèle's iris smells so much like lavender in this green combination
2) at least on my skin, I get a top-notch scent twin to Bel Étage!
That's a surprise, but a very pleasant one. The bases of the two fragrance pyramids differ minimally on paper, and I set off to start the comparison test. Okay, in a truly direct comparison, Adèle is just a tad greener, but the pseudo-lavender iris is dominant. Those hoping for a lot of tomato green à la Eau de Campagne or From the Garden will be disappointed.
There's no need to fear the oak moss in the base; it doesn't become chypre (does that word even exist?).
It's "only" an Eau Fraiche, which unfortunately makes a noticeable difference in longevity - after an hour, I had to stick my nose to my skin to find it again. Point for Cloon Keen, which lasts all day for me. I admit, I still don't quite understand the concept of such low-dosed products at a not low-dosed price. I would appreciate it if my perfume at least survived the journey from home to the office and didn't immediately say goodbye to an early evening.
In contrast to the rose, which is only available through the Marie Jeanne website, Adèle can at least be easily obtained from German perfumeries. The scent is currently only offered in 100ml and comes in the usual simple, heavy, and well-fitting dark green glass bottle. I find it unisex wearable with a slight 60:40 forecast for the ladies.
