Scentissima

After I found the " Rose Rebatchi" so great, I have made up my mind to try other fragrances from Maison Rebatchi, and so I have a filling of the
" Joyeux Osmanthe "ordered.
The scent is fruity, green.... sweetish, thick, peach pudding-like ( yet not edible).
So could smell a HautPflegelotion- so creamy pleasant. The start is "loud" but it calms down very quickly and the scent is skin tight. Does not last long, which is not a disadvantage for me at all. It seems to me the Joyeux Osmanthe might do better in a warmer climate. Maybe there will be an update after my Nice vacation in three weeks;-) But the fragrance is definitely worth a bottle

I ordered a sample because the 'Blended Bigarade' fits into the category of fragrances that I like so much - powdery, woody, fruity, floral. And my surprise was really big, I didn't expect that from such a fragrance.
The start - notes really poked me in the nose- citrusy, balsamic, unbalanced ( a nail polish remover ?) After a few minutes, curd soap suddenly came out- clean, almost sterile. The curd soap phase is also the final phase on my skin, the scent becomes skin deep but remains easily noticeable. I don't smell anything gourmand here at all, to me it's just fresh and clean. This is how the bedding might smell in a luxury hotel.... well, or even at home... But I want to finally go on vacation! I would like to have a champagne breakfast, in bed, smelling like blended bigarade;-)

Poême is a classic fragrance, heavy, viscous... Soapy mimosa accompanied by tuberose, jasmine and narcissus is somewhat softened by vanilla and fruit ( peach and plum). In the background are amber, musk and woody notes. I can also smell leather and tobacco (!) here- these notes make the scent more beautiful, I would say even more wearable. The beginning is very floral, very loud, after a few hours the scent becomes softer, more velvety. I find Poême most beautiful in autumn/winter, it's a bit too heavy for warm days. Lasts a long time and leaves a nice veil of fragrance. Absolutely timeless. Since 1998 always in my collection

For me, the charm of La Perla is a masterpiece. Since 2006, it can not be missing in my collection. I can't understand at all why such a beautiful fragrance should be discontinued? It's not too sweet, not too floral, not too powdery or too soapy- the scent is so beautifully composed that I couldn't imagine it irritating anyone. Rose and vanilla make it sweet and creamy, cedar, amber and musk give it some depth. It's like a body powder, very light; an elegant fragrance for daytime, but in candlelight in the evening it looks seductive. Sits close to the skin, so should be sprayed in the hair and/ or on clothes. The question now is: what do I do when my bottles run out? ... In Charme I feel certain similarities with La mia Perla and Dior Homme ( for me Charme could be somewhere between these two)- what if I would layer La mia Perla and Dior Homme? ;-) But as long as I get to enjoy Charme, I'd rather not experiment

Since 2012, the Ivoire can not be missing in my collection. A floral chypre, soapy, powdery, elegant, luxurious. I find it beautiful in any weather, you feel like freshly showered all day. Close to the skin, so it can't irritate anyone and can be worn for any occasion. It's a shame that Ivoire has been discontinued, unfortunately I don't see a suitable replacement on the market at the moment, but as long as I have my last bottle I will enjoy this fantastic fragrance
