802 pivoine, lotus, bambou

I love fresh (or even aquatic) forals but they are usually too chemical smelling and sharp, giving me an headache and turning into cleaning solution scent on the skin. However, this here is different - there was not a single moment where I would have noticed anything sharp or chemical. It is just aquatic bamboo-peony. It reminded me even a bit of Gucci Bamboo EDT. Super soft and feminine but fresh enough still to be worn by a man too. I love it. I does not happen often when I know after the first try that I will buy the fragrance and start to wear it. Easy, beautiful, fresh, soft, natural 🩵 EDIT: and I bought it! Yes, perfection in bottle. Easy reach, light, sophisticated, makes me happy. It starts out quite green but soon after dries to some really expensive shower gel or even an actual bouquet of flowers. And on chlothes it lasts for at least 2 days. EDIT: I finished 30 ml bottle within 3 months, wearing it every day. It also got a green light from my migrane-prone colleague, so I really wear it every day to everywhere. It is as perect if a perfume as it can get.

Initial spray and you get a blast of wet flowers! Too flowery for me tbh. But just like every scent I try on, I give it time to breathe and time to develop. In 802’s case, the beauty happened a few minutes after. The florals “calmed down” and it left this wet, greenish, floral which is basically a lotus in full bloom in my imagination. It’s wet, not like the sea, but a serene pond that gives you this relaxing cool feeling even in hot weather.

A very tranquil, calming dewy floral scent. Strangely the opening smelled like Snowy Owl (grassy petrichor), but the heart was peony-heavy with slight rose. The blackcurrant starts smelling at the dry down for me. It's soothing, brightly damp and floral, like its namesake: water nymph (Nymphea Celeste). Lasts pretty long on me (1x reapplication for am 8h work day) for it's scent profile.

802 by Bon Parfumeur: Tranquil floral elegance. It is a floral aquatic fragrance that makes me feel like I'm stepping into a serene oasis. Seriously 😄 802 smells like I imagined Truth by CK would, but Truth was heavy, whereas 802 is light and airy, relaxing and soothing.

Fresh floral aquatic like a new day of spring . Wet logic lilac yummy fruit . Cute fairy garden fresh and yummy cream
