CH Privée

One of my favorites everrr, it's so well blended and balanced with the leather, vanilla and patchouli🌿 I'm too poor to know how caviar smells lol but there is definitely something salty and slightly musky about this that makes it smell like skin when it dries. It might sound heavy based on the notes, but it's actually very clean to my nose, nothing sharp, synthetic, or invasive, it's kind of a softer scent but it does project very well and lasts 6-7hrs. Smells kinda like a leather purse or leather jacket in the most chic way possible 😎

The caviar note is just a shocking way to put salt i guess. This is warm, salty leather... like a nice purse at the ocean.

The CH line emerged, in 2007, with the release of CH for Women, which came before the male version. Some versions (flankers) came then, but many of them don't even figured in the Brazilian market, as CH Marine or CH Garden Party, for instance. In 2013, it was the turn of CH Sublime, which brought the first elongated bottle, covered with leather, changing the visual identity of the CH line. In 2017, more precisely in February, was the turn of this new version, called CH Privée. In a way, it's the female version of CH Men Privé, released in 2015. CH Privée Eau de Parfum defends, in its concept, one of the rarest things of the present time: privacy, responsible for the curiosity and the mystery that surrounds everything we do and that is so trivialized in times of social networks. Just as happened before with fragrances of other brands, inspired by the "black dress", this time the CH woman gets dressed in a beautiful red dress, sensual and mysterious, wearing high heels and accessories. And her perfume, created by Dominique Ropion, mixes unusual notes such as osmanthus absolute, vanilla caviar, patchouli and leather, as well as pink pepper and musk. CH Privée Eau de Parfum has two distinct moments: initially, when it touches the skin, it is intense and warm. The fruity side of the osmanthus flower reveals itself like a compote of apricots. In a short time, the fragrance seems to disappear and lose strength, presenting a more salty facet. Normally, the synthetic note of caviar has this facet. But here, the accord was of a creamier caviar, made with vanilla. It may not be the case, but there is a saltier aspect, which comes to impart a more masculine style to the perfume, albeit subtly. Then, it comes the other distinct moment when notes of jasmine, rose and patchouli meet, showing a floral and drier base. On my skin, CH Privée loses not only grace, but also power, as it evolves. The output is magnificent and the perfume exudes a lot. However, in less than two hours, it becomes weak and remains close to the skin, although it has good lasting. It is pleasant, but it does not convey the idea of mystery, which is tied to the scent left by a woman when she passes by. It may even work, but it will need more sprays than usual, which may bother some consumers. The bottle is gorgeous, the finishing is worthy of the brand's products and the fragrance caters to women who like more intimate perfumes while maintaining elegance. Still, it does not behave like an Eau de Parfum and that disappointed me. Particularly, I still prefer the Sublime version.

CH privee is an elegant, feminine and classy fragrance. There's some sexiness and a glamorous feeling to it, too. The opening is somewhat acidic and unpleasant to my nose but fortunately, it's a fleeting sensation. After seconds, leather becomes prominent yet it quickly blends with the vanilla and a very mild patchouli. I don't think this perfume is leather centered, maybe because it's well blended. All in all, I'd say I'm not impressed. Mainly because of its unoriginality. It reminds me of perfumes of past decades, so it feels a bit dated to me. Also, I think it lacks attitude. I think it would make a great gift as it's pleasant and likeable.

This perfume has a very realistic leather note, and mixed with vanilla it becomes something warm and cozy. Its subtle and intimate, its not a big explosion of "dessert vanilla", rather a more mature or sophisticated note. The patchulli makes it some what fresh. I can see anyone over 25 wearing it, its not a childish/gourmand perfume and you can wear it day and nigth. It has a moderate longevity and the sillage its not strong, but that goes well with the intimate vibe it projects. The bottle design is pretty acccurate since this is a true leather fragrance, but in a femenine way. Longevity: 3/5 Sillage: 2/5 Scent: 4/5 Bottle: 5/5 Overall: 4/5
