Amelina

Lovely and bright at first spray. The petitgrain gives it that slightly raspy texture. I'd say neroli and petitgrain overpower the lemon and the orange.
The next step is soapy and citrusy vetiver, which is when it gets a bit gentlemanly to me (not that I'm suggesting it's more for men). It's a vibe I also get from Un zeste de gingembre. Something clean and elegant, sprayable white shirt.
Great in hot weather - but you really have to spray it on clothes to have some longevity...
I really love how unsweet and bright this is, but I do wish it lasted longer.
(Irrelevant to the fragrance itself, but I think it has one of the loveliest names in perfumery )

Never would have expected to fall for this one, but the bright citrus opening hooked me. The lemon stays and gets creamier and powdery, associated with a lovely vanilla.
It's more complex than what I just described, there's a resinous quality, light patchouli, something akin to the guerlinade.
But that citrus knits a thread throughout the whole evolution. It brightens the perfume, uplifts it, making it an oriental that I, the green /citrus / freshie lover, can wear.
It feels elegant but not stuffy, classic but not outdated, it has sillage and longevity like it's 1925.
Very glad to have met Kismet.

Lovely fresh rhubarb perfume. The opening is juicy, acidic, and reminds me of green apple. The rhubarb illusion is well created with a balance between tartness, greenness and sweetness. Overall I'd say it belongs as much to the green as to the fruity family.
It lasts for the better part of the day on me. It's both original and elegant, in my opinion. I'm having a hard time deciding between this one and Milky dragon, which I also really love.
The one downside for me is the blackcurrant, a note that I always find a tad overbearing. You can definitely smell it here.
Worth noting : at 130 for 50ml, this is definitely pricey. I would consider buying it for it's truly niche originality, the fact that this is a small house ran by a single perfumer, and the longevity of the scent, which is pretty rare for a perfume this sparkly and fresh.

Contemplated buying this, ended up choosing Immortelle Corse over it for the lovely dried apricot note.
Now immortelle Corse is an extract, and this is an Eau de Parfum, but immortal flower (helicryse) is such a long lasting note that I don't think the concentration matters here.
Laying in bed ten hours after spraying my sample of L'EdI on my skin I can quite clearly smell it pulsating with my body heat.
This is pure immortal flower, but immortal flower is a lot of things. Hay, caramelized amber, sweet liquor...
I am not a patchouli fan and I can't smell it as a separate note here.
All I smell is golden, beautiful immortal flower.
Similar to Sables, though I can't compare them in terms of longevity.
This one is expensive, but the 75ml should last you a long time considering the power of this elixir.

Love the bright, bubbly ginger citrus opening. Then ginger ale, which I also love, for about an hour.
The trick to this perfume is that little by little it morphs into something else entirely : brown sugar, sandalwood, and something vaguely unpleasant, slightly burned and chemical-smelling.

I'll keep trying, for the sake of the opening. I do love a good ginger ale perfume (here's looking at you, Heeley), but I'm puzzled by the way this one changes on my skin.
I do understand that it is hard for citrus and ginger to linger past the top notes, and to be fair they last a bit longer than average here. I respect the trick that they pulled to ensure longevity is good, but I wish it didn't get so woody-sweet.
