Aubade

Honestly I'm not a fan of opening part,bitterness of almond and cloves was a draw back for me,but any way I sprayed it to my wrist and on a paper and went away Soft sweet powderyness of vanilla and heliotrope,turn it to a Devine scent!powdery almondy vanilla,delicious!not very dark but there is a spicyness here that I adore,something like cinnamon Musky drydown reminds me stendhal elixir blanc and different company pure eve which I also love If you are a fan of bitter almond,soft powdery vanilla,heliotrope and musk with a spicy twist give aubade a try,it's unique and great for fall,very long-lasting and not too sweet I added it to my wantlist and gonna buy it sooner or later ❤❤❤❤

I'm a sucker for cheap thrills, this is priced less than 20 usd when I bought it online sans transport fee. I have another Hypnotic Poison-inspired frag so I did a side by side of this and Deep Sea Pink on my arms. This one has more depth and less linear than Deep Sea Pink. It's also less sweeter with the slight woody and spicy accord more noticeable than DSP's relentless vanilla and almond. Aubade becomes a skin scent much later on me (around 5 hours) and it lasts around 9-10 hours on my skin. Only thing I hate with Aubade is the black-garlic inspired bottle.

Almond lovers should seek it out, it's rich and nutty. I bought this blind from a fragrance friend, and I'm so pleased that I took the chance. The opening is slightly bitter and spicy, then it becomes a velvety floral with a woody, musky dry down. The almond note is always present. Slightly powdery and wears forever; over 12 hours on my skin.

I swear I am picking up on a distinct, sweet anise note in the opening and heart of this one, reminiscent of the cerise and yellow rounded square anise candies/lozenges my grandparents used to keep in a bowl on the dining table. I was originally interested in this perfume due to the supposed similarities with Kenzo Amour Le Parfum, but I don't really see it (or rather, smell it). Aubade is airier, and first and foremost a floral to me, albeit dusted with a thick layer of powdery almond. I am reminded of La Perla Divina EdP, another heliotropey offering by a lingerie brand, but Aubade is sharper, whereas Divina is juicier and softer.

A fluffy almond and heliotrope scent mixed with a musky vanilla. The only floral I get is the heliotrope. It has the 'plastic doll head' scent that the heliotrope and vanilla combination often create. It's very powdery, cozy and intimate. Reminds me of a tamed down Hypnotic Poison.
