Brave

Hmm I was expecting more interest for this perfume but well... My dear young powerful ladies if you've just set the foot on the road to your career, maybe you are at University or in your first strong position and you want a feminist perfume, not to hard to wear, not to "old" or heavy for your taste, modern but sparkling with power, well than this is your perfume. It's the scent of a young woman who just discovered the feminist blazer but she hasn't given up the jeans yet so she combined it, it's the scent of a woman who dream big but still has some moment of panic, is a initiation, a initiation into the feminist perfumes world. It is a very cypress floral, cold but with some warm aura, little spicy but very oxygenated and casual and still very formal in a distant glamour type. The notes feels exactly as they are voted very strong tea leaf, magnolia and bergamot and in the final a ground note given by the almonds. It is reliable for any season, even if it may become a bit dull in winter, being very citrusy, it haven't the power of Arrogance for exemple to cut the low temperature so it risks to become very powdery and frozen on the skin, especially in a N-E European winter. Quality is very ok, rarely a eau de toilette lasts 6 hours on the skin. Conclusion: if you are at the beginning my dears start with this and you'll then slip into the old feminist perfumes as time goes on, for example, personally, after a period with it, I would try Trussardi, so that the passage would not be too harsh and just after that I would recomand an powerful Estee, Arden, Patou, Vintage Genny, Arrogance or other powerful feminist fragrances. But of course an already knowledgeable lady can wear this also, it's a very suitable perfume for a relaxing day on shopping, mountain, city break or in a easy day at the office.

I just received it today. The bottle seduced me, I must admit. Blind buy based on the notes and I am super happy! The box is elegant, the bottle very beautiful - top made of metal, the lion sculpture is very good, glass of high quality. No complains from me. Scent is of medium intensity, but warms up greatly on my skin and almonds absolutely dominate from the start. Fruity and floral aspects accompany the almonds - maybe bergamot with tea and fragrant petals of a pure beauty like magnolia. It's beautiful. I quite love it already. I'll try to update how it performs on time scale. It lasts well, 7-12 hours. I did not notice much development of the scent, but it is gorgeous. Truest almonds at their best. Almost gourmand in how true they are. Tea note also at her most refreshing and herbal. Magnolia the queen of pure. It is warm, if it is the wood of the background it is too subtle for me to decide which one. Very original. Delectable, clean, pure, warm. A big thank you for the best Almonds ever.

This opens with bright bergamot but is quickly softened by the almond note which is almost creamy. Then the woodsy musk smooths the more citric notes into a blend that feels harmonious and serene. It is unisex. Quite elegant and calm, zen and uplifting. Posted photos on Fragram so others can see the 30 ml bottle design, a tube with intricate cap.

This is an almond dominant perfume. the floral notes are well blended, they’re very subtle. It’s a very casual, CLEAN comforting scent that can be worn every day. And because it is light, I can definitely see myself wearing it during any season.

$20 @ fragrancenet...blind buy. The bottle is not as great "in person" as in the photos....but still nice. At first blast...I get Tea and pink pepper/citrus.... I find the "almond" note to be "dusty" ...not marzipan-ish at all.... ..peppery almond..(?) I kinda get a papyrus-nutty vibe also. Light dry woods and musk. Very unisex...leaning masculine..IMHO. The floral notes are smoked (?)...and also dry. Magnolia goes woody-ish. Weirdly...I thought of Bvgari Black...???....and....Cabochard.....Vibes only...not dupe/clone wise. Also in the very beginning maybe a tad of Commodity's Tea...(?). Performance...is average at best. I do find this a more unique scent.....so therefore....I like it...so far.
