Through a swap I got to the pearl.
I immediately notice the chocolaty note. Tip on the hazelnut blossom.
Kumquat meets me also.
I know it from the garden of Monsieur Li by Hermès.
Maybe also a little pepper, before the flowers appear, again underlaid with chocolate.
For me, the chocolate - / hazelnut note is a bit too dominant.
A bit like a chocolate fountain in the spicy, liquid chocolate runs down and you dunk flowers and hazelnuts in.
All in all, a delicious fragrance, which you can not find everywhere and which just does not convince everyone. But that's also good!

I was looking for roses.
Roses in perfume form.
Not stale, not soapy, not too classic.
The Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrances I've had the pleasure of experiencing so far have not been 100% mine.
Quite strong and intense.
By chance I came across this hair perfume.
I always wanted to have tried, because fragrances should last longer in the hair :)
I usually also spray the normal perfumes in the hair.
So take the à la rose bottle and spray 2-3x in the hair.
Mhh, wonderfully fresh and rosy.
Rose at dawn, on the blades of grass dewdrops.
Wonderfully fresh and light as air.
Spring feelings!
The freshness shows through the bergamot.
This also pulls pleasantly through the fragrance composition.
Bit of violet, a little magnolia.
Soft and caressing.
Maybe a tick of soap shimmers through sometimes, but you do not notice in the overall package.
I perceive a fresh rose in the juicy green with stem and thorns.
Quite close to nature.

I would have imagined the fragrance more massive, according to the name.
Luxury- pageantry; bling - bling; sumptuous and opulent, sultry and stuffy:
Opulent orange blossom
Dominant, stuffy iris and
bulky vanilla.

I would have rather not liked this.
However, bright orange blossom smiles kindly at me; fresh tangy bergamot whistles a ditty in the background.
It feels like spring sunshine.
It's joined by a bit of green - tart; but not too unpleasant, perhaps due to the ambrox?!
Powdery light iris floats in the nose rounded with fine, delicate vanilla and tonka bean.
Nothing heavy, sultry, opulent to detect.
Delicate, pure and fresh.
Not ladylike, not stiff, not pieksig.
A class all-rounder

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian I know so far the APOM.
Class fragrance, but not for me.
Too perfumed; too rigid and stuffy he comes along.
The Aqua universalis forte starts washing powder artig, with citrus splashes.
Then he also seems a bit rigid perfumed.
But rounds off in white flowers and jasmine.
But still the washing powder in the background.
Reminder of fresh linens; softens and muted by cedar perhaps.
Not bad, but not the progression and freshness I was hoping for.

Tangerine leaf : tangy, tart, like fresh cool morning dew.
In the morning to the daily coffee in the office; mood-lifting.
the pepper does the rest and sounds itself in.
Then the iris caresses and becomes powdery delicate.
Elegance through amber in the base.
Long powdery, long lasting.
Prima fragrance for everyday life - makes everyday life more bearable....
