Don't expect a typical frangipani flower scent, it's not. It's much more almondy. Frangipani oil is listed as ingredient, and I would say it's what gives it its very rich, sultry side. It's like a good match between exotic flowers...

Very peppery opening. Almost no sweetness, it's harsh, bitter, dry. There is something almost too synthetic. Two hours later it's much better. But it's still to dry for me. Three hours later it's even better. Creamy,...

Fresh, floral, bright scent. Ever so slightly tart, like rhubarb (After reading the notes, I guess that comes from the passionfruit). Sadly the tartness turns sour and bitter/metallic on my skin. The scent is gorgeous on hot and humid...

I came across this perfume randomly in a store, and didn't expect much from it, considering its name that seems to be a disclaimer (as in "We told you it wasn't anything special, in case you don't like it"). But it was pleasant...

Wearing La Panthère EDT is being classy and somehow a bit "old school" without smelling dated. It's fresh and floral. Primarily I smell a floral musk but when I put my nose on my skin, I can definitively smell white flowers. There is something...

The best almond perfume I tried so far. Less "synthetic" than Tardes by Carner Barcelona, less "cosmetic-like" than Mandorlo di Sicilia by Acqua di Parma. It does remind of marzipan but not in a dessert-edible way. It's creamy and balanced,...

A very safe fragrance, very much in the line of the Aqua Allegoria line, though much sweeter than the others. The beginning smells a bit like a Victoria Secret's body spray. The tubereuse is almost...

This new version is quite different from the previous (and discontinued) "Miss Dior Le Parfum", which was an almost liquorous, mature classy scent for someone that owns very bit of her skin and moves forward in life with nothing to prove. I wanted...

On a paper tester strip I loved it : it's aquatic without being too cold, there is that juiciness from the rhubard that almost reminds me of a juicy pear. I definitively get the "rain" association,...

This perfume doesn't scream "perfume", it's more like a personal skin scent that attracts you without you knowing exactly why. It's not a "clean" skin scent though, there is something smoky, a bit wild. I can recognize the carnation which gives it a dry touch,...
