Eau d’Ivoire

@littleperfumista i thank you so much for that review, I blind bought this perfume and Im pretty sure i found my wedding fragrance. This is floral happy clean scent, perfect for a summer wedding. Do i think its a master piece, no, but i think its very suitable for a wedding. When i close my eyes and smell this fragrance i imagine a very Simple and elegant bride walking in a all white room with a lot of dusty pink white and green flowers. Exactly how i want to feel at my wedding day:) Update: this perfume reminds me of Gucci ll which i also adore,

Ooh this one is so nice. Happy, elegant, soft skin scent. Like a whisper of a fairy. Very airy and feminine. Little tart fruit and a hint of patchouli. I can hardly smell it on me, which must mean that it mixes well with my skin chemistry, and I don't usually like any patchouli scents. I can't imagine anyone hating this little gem.

Beautiful, not strong, simple and fresh. I am a Scandinavian woman and this fragrance is quite unknown here. That's why I love it!

I got a sample of this when I bought Ivoire, and though I like this well enough I have to say I don't see the connection to the "original" (by which I mean the current Ivoire, because I've never smelled the vintage incarnations of either version). The only thing that makes sense with this naming is that Ivoire is much stronger and longer lasting than Eau d'Ivoire; otherwise there isn't even a vague similarity in smell or even notes listed. Apart from that, though, it's a really nice smell. I sampled it three times now and I must say I didn't remember it much after the first couple of times. That's not because it's not good, though; it's just that it's very subtle. Very light, very soft. Fruity and sweet but not in that in-your-face bright way that a lot of fruity florals have; red berries but with a powdery, non-edible softness to them. I bet the flowers contribute a lot to that, but I can't pick out those notes very well. At the end the fruit wears off and it gets even softer in the musky drydown. All in all it's very inoffensive, which equals "boring" in a lot of cases, but it doesn't here, because it's so well made. So I quite like it, though not nearly as much as Ivoire; I think the naming connection doesn't do this any favours...

I gotta say, for the price of Eau d'Ivoire (between 20-45$/100ml), you get a super pleasant scent - and it's reminiscent of some new release you'd grab from the department store this year for upwards of one hundred bucks. The atmosphere is timeless, ageless, carefree and uplifting (let's not forget inoffensive). There are definitely some more sweet-sour-berries in the opening, something kind of like pink lemonade - and as the scent dries down it leans more towards a generically sweet "perfume" perfume. Like the soft citrus-fruity-sweet scent you're met with when you walk past a fragrance counter. I would call this freshly-showered-clean, without being soapy or green in the slightest way, like it's original Ivoire counterpart. I love wearing this fragrance on very hot days, or when you want something effortless to wear, that DOESN'T go into 13-hour-beast-mode. What you get here is delicate, lightweight, and airy. Really overlooked, I think! Surprised this isn't talked about more! To me, there is the same feeling of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet in this fragrance - though I prefer this one over Dior due to the lack of sharp peony. If you're a fan of soft, dainty fruity florals - definitely don't pass this one up!
