Celine

I guess i just have found a perfect summer fragrance for myself! Bought it today the last 50ml bottle that i could find in my town in EDP concentration for discounted price and also got a almost full tester bottle of it as a bonus for free, so it was almost 2 for 1!!! And i really think i should buy more but it is really hard to find, even on ebay! It does reminds me of Jadore EDP (original formula, not reformulated one) in someway, but to me it smells better than Jadore with more intense notes that sparkle! It is so refreshing and joyful! Lasting power is also good. I have tried also EDT version but didn ́t like it as much. Fresia is indeed very dominanting with black currant in very pleasant way. It has actually character to me, which Jadore lacks sadly. It also reminds me a bit of Chanel ́s "Allure" as well (not as a scent composition but the same direction) but with more citrus feeling than "Allure"has. Opens up bit on a sweet side, but then turns into sweet-fresh fizzy scent. I am very much satisfied with my purchase. UPDATE (Some years later, 2013) i have managed to try the EDT of the same fragrance as well and i can understand the dissapointmnet of some users with this scent, since EDT smells quite different from EDP and for worse i must admit. I feel so lucky to have a very rare EDP bottles of this great scent. If you see EDP of this fragrance, then grab it, it is very rare and even if you will not like it as much as some of us do, you will be able to sell it anyway! My review was for EDP.

I would like to add this as a review that the notes listed on the tester bottle i got as a bonus to my purchase of the same fragrance seem to be a bit different than listed here. TOP NOTES: red pepper, violet leaves, bergamot, water fruits, black currant. HEART NOTES: Claire Jacquier rose scentreck (whatever it is), magnolia, freesia, sheer jasmine, white peach, may rose, iris. BASE NOTES: sandal wood, incense, cedar wood, musk, amber, vanilla. Maybe the notes listed are bit different for EDt and EDP, but what i have is a EDP version.

I purchased this today blind and unsniffed, found few bottles abandoned on a discount shelf. What a nice fragrance it is. The scent was somehow familiar, and it reminds me very much of Chanel Allure, but a lot more subtle and less powdery. I really enjoy the delicate magnolia,jasmine and vanill-ey drydown. Nice cozy and warming scent for cooler months. I should stock up few more bottles. It its quite hard to find already, maybe they're going to discontinue it soon.

Well, Kastehelmi if you are reffering to the vial I sent you to try, the EDP is indeed very strong (therefor my ultimate favorite!). The EDT version comes VERY VERY close to J'ADore in terms of softness. Without the typical J'Adore note, that turns me of .. :-)

Thank you soo much for adding the notes Passionata! This masterpiece deserves a complete list of notes, so we can see how complex this beauty really is!!
