Carven Le Parfum

Carven le parfum opens as a bright, sweet floralfruity.apricot,litchi and mandarin blossom are definitely there.as time passes it's juicy sweetness becomes milder and it becomes more floral.flowers are so soft,delicate,fresh and natural that make me think of spring.sweetpea,mandarin blossom and hyacinth standout the most(I love them all and unfortunately they're rather rare in perfumes) but I can see traces of all the other listed flower notes in this bouquet In my country,Iran,our new year begins with the first day of spring and in our new year ceremony,one of the things that we decorate our homes and tables with them,are hyacinth flowers.hyacinth shines through this scent so beautifully that I feel I'm right in the first day of spring which we call norooz.it makes me smile and remember my sweetest memories.but this is not the only reason that I wanted Carven le parfum since I tried it for the first time months ago.the other floral fragrance which I adore is Estee lauder modern muse,although they don't smell similar they have similar style.both of them are crisp,clean,fresh and natural floral scents,feminine,simple,charming and elegant at the same time.florals stay fresh,gentle and alluring all through it's development but they also become warm,deep and even more sensual in base.there's no musk in it's pyramid but to my nose it's drydown is all about musky florals wrapped in subtle patchouli.just like musk and patchouli in modern muse Everything is in it's right place in Carven le parfum and it's oh so gorgeous.if you smell it without paying enough attention,you may this is a generic inoffensive and boring crowdpleaser but if you let it to play it's mesmerizing Symphony on your skin you may be hooked by it's beauty and balance.if you find it's sweet fruityfloral opening very girly,let it settle down to it's deep,clean ladylike drydown.I can get what reviewers mean by calling it French.it's so effortless pretty,chic without being showy and I agree about that it's a modern classic.it's a floral,a floralwoodymusk and a chyprefloral at the same time.I'm recently looking for such fumes like EL modern muse,cartier la panther legere,JHAG lady vengeance..I don't agree that drydown is masculline,at least not on me.sandalwood(which is very much like a creamy soap here)and patchouli are subtle here and don't appear as rough,dirty or male-ish.they just give it this refined,sophisticated vibe while being youthful... I agree that it can be a new chanel coco mademoiselle,not that they smell similar but they share characteristic features,it deserves to be way more popular Carven le parfum is a spring/summer/early fall scent for me.safe enough for day wear and elegant enough for night wear.it stays +8 hours on my skin but most of it's life as s skin scent.sillage is more than moderate for a while then drops.although it's delicate in it's nature,I wish it was more potent as I like sillage monsters Now I'm interested in retrying l'eau version and absolue ❤❤❤❤ کارون له پارفوم، معتدل رو به خنکی، عطری لطیف،ملیح،باکیفیت،زیبا،زنانه و بی نهایت شیک هست.بنظر منم لایق اینه که به اندازه کوکو مادمازل محبوب شه چون تو کلاس و پرکاربرد بودن و جوونی درعین شکوه کلاسیک و سادگی درعین زیبایی و ذات فرانسوی که داره هیچ چیز کم نداره ریویو کامل بزودی تو پیجم

I received this quite underrated gem as a gift from a beloved friend yesterday and I am over the moon now. This review is partly descriptive and largely thankful. Such a blessed chance brought it to me! I met Carven Le parfum last spring. My husband brought me from abroad a perfume which cannot be easily found in my country and he was gifted a 5 ml. sample of Carven in the store. From the very beginning I was more intrigued by the sample rather than the bottle I had been longing for ages before. That was such a strong like that I used it to the last drop and started looking for the perfume itself. Unfortunately neither in stores nor on websites I could put my hand on it. Imagine my surprise when somehow out of the blue a friend of mine who is a perfume lover like me and prominent and educated nose, came across a bottle of this in a large perfumery chain in her city. Carven le parfum is one of the most elegant scents in my collection. It is perfectly blended,modern, young, vibrant and so beautifully moist. The trail it leaves is exquisitely posh and attractive. It ́s smoothly faceted, subtly feminine and possesses incredible longevity. Nothing vulgar or noisy though . On the contrary it suggests refinement and inner tactfulness. It is so French in the best sense: I can see how Montmartre is imbibing a cool drizzle in early spring, wet classy raincoats and berets over smooth dark bobs can be spotted in the streets, the air is fresh and the summer is around the corner. Lovely deep and fresh at the same time scent which is worth a try!( P.S. I respect Kurkdjian's approach to the modern perfumery as a whole, yet this is by far the only one that perfectly suits my taste.)

This was a blind buy for me, I got my hands on a mini edp bottle and thought I'd give it a try. I applied it with no expectations what so ever, but all I had to do was sniff it once to fall in love with it. This is so super feminine, fresh, sweet, young, elegant - all at once. Definitely very gentle, it's soft and lovely but still has some personality to it with (imo) perfectly blended fruity-floral tones. It's both young and classy at the same time and makes me feel sophisticated enough to belong in Paris on a sunny spring day. No bitterness, sourness or soapiness on my skin, nor is it headache-inducing (which I sometimes find other white florals to be). It's just all around delicate, round, but at the same time sweet and refreshing. It's easy to wear and not too teeny over-the-top sweet. It seems to last around 5 hours on me, which isn't too bad. I'll definitely be purchasing a full size. On my skin it opens with a hint of juicy freshness, almost citrus - must be the hyacinth and mandarin blossom. Then it settles into the sweeter notes of apricot and sweet pea before drying down to a soft, romantic jasmine. The floral notes keep it soft and everything is so beautifully blended and incorporated into each other. I can't stop smelling my wrist.

Sweet pea is dominant in this one, making it very sweet indeed, with a stewed apricot that brings out the osmanthus-fueled apricot blossom note. Sweety sweet, but with no caramel, honey or sugar, spun or not. This is a floral, not gourmand sweetness, enhanced by a juicy mandarin orange, and a sweet orange blossom note. Although described as a white floral, the ylang-ylang, hyacinth and sweet pea combine to make this a more complex floral: sweet, but fresh, with a green sparkle and shine. As others note, very classically French, feminine, and polished. Good for professional settings, but easily lasts until the evening if you go out after work. Good longevity and projection on me. It has a cashmere shawl feeling, very soft and enveloping. The drydown is smooth and creamy, with a soft, beautiful sandalwood, and a subtle touch of patchouli. The drydown feels like suede, with a leathery note I suspect is supported by the hyacinth. Still sweet and floral, though: some ten hours later and I smell sweet pea. Uncanny; now with a warm vanilla on drydown, and the sweetpea, a candied gourmand floral note. This is one of those I can't apply too close to my nose, or I am overcome, it is so strong and sweet.
