Her Majesty

HER Majesty just arrived and I tore into the sample vial ASAP. The thing I've been worried most about has been the "salt/sea" notes because those usually go baby powder on me in an unpleasant way. And for about 10 minutes they do go baby powder but an *expensive* baby powder, and really only on my skin. Around. me is an etherial luminous and harmonius cloud. It's extremely difficult for me to describe this scent but in terms of sakura season it's light like that. Like cherry blossoms the scent flutters by. If you are expecting luscious peach like in Good Girl Gone Bad, you'll be disappointed. This is definitely the lighter white peach, delcious but much less intense. I've only had it on for 20 or so minutes so I expect I'll come back to this review in a bit. For now I'll keep using the 1.5 ml sample and decide if I will return her. BTW: She came in a beautiful black bag. Oh, and this perfume is FEMME - I don't know why "woody" is the first accord on their little stack up there next to the bottle. It's not woody at all. Very much an etherial floral with hints of peach. Sillage is not huge, intimate but farther out than just skin. Maybe a 10 in / 20 cm? Something like that. 24 hours: lasted overnight. Now the sillage died down overnight obviously but in the morning there was still a faint scent of white peach and delicate florals on my skin. Despite the etheriality of this scent it does have long staying power. This is not a "beast mode" scent - you can wear this in an office. Stays on the clothes very well also and with little to no powder on the clothing. I will probably end up keeping this but I am going to take a couple of days to think about it. Have almost used up my 1.5 ml sample though and that's unusual for me.

I love this fragrance. On my skin the combination of white peach and rose is pretty, delicate and elegant. The peach brings its smell with a velvety texture. The rose gives the elegant touch with its softness and presence (I feel like I am smelling a white or soft pink rose). On my skin is not a rose bomb, but balanced with the white peach smell. I don't perceive any moss or earthy notes but a well crafted fragance with no sharp edges. The rose smell is different from Radical Rose, Lady Vengeance or other fragrances with a more pronounced rose note. What I liked the most is the peach note since I find it different from other peach fragrances. On me those tent to have a strong peach smell while this one is subtle and incredible feminine. Won't be for everybody. Try it first. Is completely normal for a chypre fragrance not to be as popular as gourmands, marine, fruty-flowery profiles and that doesn't mean is bad. Remember, it depends on your own taste. I recommend it. Is not a mega incredible or unique fragrance but I found it to be beautiful and elegant. It connected with me and I bought it immediately.

It smells great! A very classy, fresh, ethereal, clean chypre fragrance. The top notes are really enchanting - an unusual combination of peach skin, rum, and rose with a suggestion of watery notes. As it dries down it becomes greener, very mossy. The word "cabbage rose" comes to mind, but I mean it literally... like a rose growing next to a big leafy green savoy cabbage. It's also musky and woody. I was afraid they'd serve this chypre with tons of sugar to please the tik-tok hype machine, but this is really not a sweet fragrance at all. It's unisex, but the name will keep 90% of men away. In the deep drydown, papyrus/cypriol becomes dominant, mimicking that sort of funky scratchy patchouli oakmoss thing from chypres of yore. It has faint echoes of Moonlight in Heaven and Good Girl Gone Bad.

The fragrance is very delicate, feminine, and truly beautiful. From the very first minutes, it opens with a juicy peach touched by a light tartness, which adds elegance to the composition. The peach feels very naturalistic and vibrant. As the fragrance develops, it becomes softer and more rounded, revealing a creamy, enveloping nuance. This creaminess makes the scent incredibly comforting, as if you are wrapped in soft arms, draped in a velvety veil. The floral notes are extremely delicate, enhancing the femininity of the composition, while the woody and musky base adds depth and projection (the sillage is very good) without weighing the fragrance down. Overall, it is a very beautiful, elegant, and soft scent , a fragrance of tenderness, comfort, and beauty.

Papery , jammy rose and unripe peach. Suuuper soft and feminine. It begins as extremely papery but changes ever so slightly on the skin. If really has the ambrette creaminess of Rolling in Love that someone on here mentioned, paired with the almost gourmand papery note of Diptyque Eau Papier. The rose in here is the same rose that you would find in Initio Power Self. This is NOT at all comparable to Flower of Immortality or Peche Mirage. The peach in here is much more realistic and less artificial “peach shampoo”. Also - the sillage is great. I find it strange how reviews on here either describe it as nuclear or terrible. I love this. People saying it smells horrible might have the flu.
