In love at first sight
I have tested many old and new perfumes in the perfumeries over the last few years. Especially the new releases have not inspired me for a long time. They were always so... flat ?
My mother gave me a miniature of idols yesterday. I was very happy that I could now test the new release of Lacome.
I just pulled off the Squirt and sniffed at it. My first thought was, "Oh, he smells like Ever Bloom of Shiseido."
I have to say, I really like Ever Bloom. It just unfortunately doesn't last 10 minutes.
To the fragrance:
Before I saw the fragrance pyramid, I simply felt the fragrance to be rosy and soapy. Really quite soapy even (which I like though).
It reminds me of a beautiful rose soap. However, the rose is not fresh and full-bodied, but sweetish. Now I know that the juicy sweetness must come from the pear. Pear is always difficult to find in perfumes. Sometimes she smells too sweet, sometimes too musty. But here the pear is the perfect complement to sweeten the rose pleasantly. It's juicy and sweet.
I know that many idols also feel flat and boring. I, on the other hand, am glad that Lancôme brings out a soapy fragrance and hopefully sets a new direction. I much prefer to smell soapy scents that remind me of fresh laundry, on every corner, rather than gourmand scents that almost suffocate you.
Let us hope that the days of LVEB are numbered :D

If laundry detergent manufacturers would bring out a perfume...
then it would be exactly this perfume !
It's been mentioned before, so I can only repeat it: Warm Cotton smells like washing powder and fresh laundry from the tumble dryer.
So the fragrance will only appeal to people who like the aroma that is in the air in the detergent aisle of supermarkets. With Warm Cotton, there's no in-between. Either you like him or you find him horrible.
I like him very much, but he needs to develop a little. When I spray it on first it smells very strongly of lemon and a strange scratchy metallic note. But when I have survived the beginning and the lilac note comes through, it smells soooo good like freshly washed laundry.
I have tested many fresh laundry fragrances and Warm Cotton is really the only fragrance that hits the nail on the head.
By the way, I also have the Warm Cotton Reserve. This differs already relatively strongly from the EdP. He's not that lemony. It also smells more sweet and powdery (towards Infusion d'Iris - I guess it's benzoin ?). In any case, the reserve version also smells very detergent, but not in absolute pure form, but rather like a "serious" perfume
