Ladymarie

I really like it. It somewhat resembles a sweet, fruity candy while still retaining the floral creaminess of the gardenia. It’s a more intense bolder , sweeter version of its gorgeous gardenia predecessor. It lasted all day and even could smell traces the next morning though I would not say it was noticeable to others at that point.

And I love it. I was in Ulta perusing the fragrance section. I saw the Coach Gold display and the pretty gold bottle. I looked at the description which states an “ambery-floral parfum, inspired by sun-drenched brilliance. Pink peppercorns, almond blossoms, vanilla.”

I wasn’t sure what to expect because that’s not typically notes I gravitate towards. Other than Amber and vanilla. But I sprayed it on a test strip and liked it quite a bit. I decided to spray it on my wrists and try it out for the day. I couldn’t stop lifting my wrists to my nose to smell it.

It’s somewhat similar to Burberry Goddess, Xerjoff Lira and other similar fragrances, but doesn’t have the distinct lavender. I really liked the vanilla and amber notes with a hint of pink peppercorn and a light floral blend. This might be my new favorite 2025 release.

It’s sweet, it’s fresh, citrusy and a little tangy, it’s a nice light floral blend. The silage is moderate. The longevity for me seems to be 8 plus hours. I enjoyed wearing it but the crispness of it reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana light blue which is also lovely. I feel like it does tend to maybe lean a little too sweet, but not too much that it’s sickening.

As the title says. It caused some sort of allergic reaction or sensory overload. First spray right off the bat, I didn’t care for the smell of it. It was instantly off putting, and smelled heavy to the floral. I guess it somewhat smelled like tiare, but mostly it reminded me of vintage “old lady” floral fragrances. It was strong, heavy, and overwhelming. Within a half hour, I had a horrible headache, ended up feeling nauseous and flushed, and lightheaded. I washed my skin and changed my clothes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it all off after washing my skin so the fragrance and reaction lasted for several hours. I’m not sure what ingredient or chemical is in it that may have caused a physical reaction. I know for me. Synthetic chemicals sometimes cause the reaction. Just be mindful if you have fragrance sensitivity.

JPG Le Male Elixir It’s a bit sweet vanilla mixed with a clean powdery note blended with spicy, citrus, gourmand notes and a hint of leather that is captivating but not overwhelming. It’s inviting and intriguing.

The sillage is moderate to strong. It can travel more than 6 feet, but not overbearing. The longevity is good lasting several hours.
