Baies Sauvages

Oh my, this is such a happy perfume, it brings back so many memoirs and feelings that I can't even express how happy I feel smelling this. So, let's forget about the name, about the notes, about everything. For me this smells like Johnson's&Johnson's chamomile baby shampoo, it actually smells exactly like the head of my sisters kid after he's taken a bath. And you know what, this smell just takes me back to days when I used to babysit and when I held him in my lap and inhaled how his hair smells. Pure perfection for me. UPD: Wanted to add that the longevity for my skin is ok, it lasted around 6 hours on my wrist and I think it's pretty good for this kind of perfume.

I am mystified by the name of Acorelle BAIES SAUVAGES, and also by the picture of bright red berries on the box. As far as I can tell, there are no red berries or wild berries or even tame berries anywhere in this composition. What I find instead is a brownish green floral, by which I mean not at all sharp and wet, but closer to an understated chypre. BAIES SAUVAGES features violet with a hint of rose and the lightest possible dusting of cardamom. In the drydown, sandalwood becomes dominant, but the florals linger lightly on. A very subtle woody floral with just a touch of spice, BAIES SAUVAGES is very nice, but altogether devoid of berries, as far as I can tell!

Neanche la traccia di frutti di bosco, si tratta in realtà di un bouquet fiorito e leggermente speziato. in primo piano la nota di rosa, morbida e leggermente dolce, che mano a mano lascia spazio alla mimosa e al cardamomo. la persistenza media ne fa un profumo adatto ai climi caldi.

Hmmm, called Wild Berries but I don’t get any berries. This is sweet, slightly fresh and yet plasticy frag at first application. Green notes give it a bit of a twang. Softens nicely to something powdery and a bit sweet. But of course, crappy longevity.
