Les Heures de Cartier: L'Heure Diaphane VIII

There is something about this perfume that I absolutely love. I have never been a fan of rose notes and this one is very soft, high quality, not-in-your-face rose mixed with litchi that I love. I first tried it in fall and wore it in winter as well so to me it is the scent that makes you cozy on a cold or rainy day. Longevity and sillage are moderate at best but I kept coming back to it and sniffing it on my skin and sweaters, I loved it so much. I am considering buying a full bottle because I need this comfy smell in my life. As with any perfume I suggest you try it on your skin first. Fragrances are unique creatures, they don’t smell the same on different people.

This fragrance is summers and cream. Diaphane translates to “transparent”. If the color of a very soft yellow 🌼 - was to be a fragrance then this is what it would be! -light floral, milky, A smidgen sweet. I do not pick up any rose fragrance in this, even though the description says the notes are rose! My interpretation of this fragrance is watery, floral, the faintest bit of cream or baby oil smell- in a good way- it’s a comforting smell. Overall- I love this fragrance! This Les Hueres fragrance collection is numbered to represent Roman Numerals on a clock. Reminds me of the classic Cartier watch numerals- makes sense, right. Diaphane is number VIII

its not easy to give a fragrance a rate of 10/10, i would do that with this one, for a long time a don't a find a unique mixture as i found it in this one, even if its seems to you its a regular note to use in any perfume but believe me, the way of submission is different here. BY THE WAY L`Heure Diaphane VIII the best one in its group of Les Heures de Cartier so my advice that don't bother with other numbers choice VIII (8) if you have a chance. Rate 10/10

I have to agree with Blessed as this is perhaps one - if not THE- most exquisite fragrances I have ever smelt! Worn both in the rainy London weather and humid Gulf, it stands above any other floral fragrance and adapts perfectly. I have had people chasing me down the street to find out what I am wearing! What one would call a "true masterpiece" and by far the best in the collection.

The notes on this fragrance leave me scratching my head. I don't pick up any of them. To my nose, this smells like soap. Super bubbly fluffy soap. I guess I'm glad I don't pick up these notes because I don't usually like them!!
