Nutty black currant and bergamot !
The top notes are spot on! I love the realistic black currant note, the almond is on the bitter side and the bergamot is giving a nice fresh frame!
Then I'm hit by the slowly developing rose and the creamy tuberose, slightly bubble gummy.
Yes, it's a scent on the sweeter side, but not cloyingly so, the bergamot is keeping it balanced and fresh.
The scent settles slowly and now sits on a beautiful bed of creamy, powdery woods and vanilla!

I am so impressed! I love the idea of the tart black currant being balanced by something nutty and sweet! It does remind me slightly of Soie Malaquais , but only idea wise.

Edit: The scent pulls bergamot dominant on my cooler skin! Sadly that's hiding the beautiful heart and base notes :(

Gris Charnel's sister on a summer holiday!
I have to agree with @Mavila16! This really is the Gris Charnel DNA, but in a summery, feminine, fruity and much sweeter way!

At first I get a candied orange, some spices like cardamom, then candy and a sweet sandalwood, then later a little hint of coconut as well.

It's a very interesting perfume, definitely on the sweeter side and I think it's really worth the money!

Not love at first sniff
I must admit, this is high end perfumery.
Yes, everyone and their mother is wearing it, it's everywhere and there are a million dupes by now BUT It's still great and a masterpiece of perfumery, even though I would never wear it.

The top notes are spot on, big hit of this very unusual rhubarb, lychee, bergamot and nutmeg combo. At first the rhubarb and nutmeg don't want to mix on my skin and combine into an almost sour combination, but this settles softly after just a few minutes when the rose notes peak through.
They are soft and creamy, sweet and slightly fresh. The top notes are clinging on, toned down now, but still uplifting and bright fruitiness with every whiff.
I do not necessarily detect the lily-of-the-valley note, but a soft touch of white petals.
The base notes develop more now, like a soft hug of cashmere and the faintest soft woodiness.

This is not up my alley at all, and I'm generally not a fan of Quentin Bisch creations, but it is very well executed.

Fantastic creamy sandalwood!
This is a beautiful perfume! Very unisex, but leaning more masculine in heart and base notes to my nose.

Opens with a biscuity cardamom and a creamy fig, with whiteish sandalwood and a tinge of vetiver. Black tea and just a hint of iris in the background.
On my skin it develops into something warmer, creamier, sweeter (the tonka), with a fantastic sandalwood adorned with spices, though it stays just right without drifting into something saccharin.

I didn't want to love it, but I really do!

a hot day on the bayou
This is one of my favourite travel finds ever!

Hové Parfumeur is an old family run business in the center of New Orleans, situated in one of the beautiful, old french quarter houses.

I walked in and sniffed my way through all the little treasures and found this absolute gem!

The notes that I get are the following: exotic floral sweet, a bit of "sweet green" (like Muglers Aura, but very very toned down), solar notes, honey, sweet hay and something creamy.

It's not super green or mossy, like the notes suggested, rather exotic green and quite sweet.

I associated it immediately with the Louisiana heat, a sweet cold tea in my hand, a languid stroll under a green canopy of exotic plants and flowers.

It's perfect for warm or hot weather and sunshine!
