Rue Pergolese

I absolutely love it!!! It was my signature scent in my teens - the most innocent and clean scent I've ever smelled. I missed it for a long time, fortunately it's available again. A great selection of notes by Ulric de Varens. It opens up with a blast of bergamot, which for the first 5 seconds is a little bit sharp to my nose, but then it comes the freesia and the beautiful journey begins - fields of soothing tea, walks through gardens with lily, magnolia, peony...And last but not least, the forest fruits, which are so tasty on my skin. The longevity of this frag is phenomenal for its price.

For all the Rue Pergolese lovers out there—good news! I think I’ve finally found its (albeit more expensive) alter ego. It’s Trussardi - A Way for Her. This fragrance shares the same fresh, powdery elegance of freesia and white/green notes, especially about 10-15 minutes after application. I’d say it captures about 85% of the enchanting magic Rue Pergolese once had—meaning it comes remarkably close. Rue Pergolese was my signature scent back in college before it was discontinued, and it’s such a shame. It had such a beautiful character and incredible value for money.

I used this perfume in my early 20's and it was my favorite, I loved it's freshness, it was a period when I was obsessed with all things french, so when I wore it I used to close my eyes and imagine myself wandering through parisian flea markets on a warm April day:)I'm in my late 30's now(I still love many things french),I don't have this perfume any more but looking at the picture above I remember how the bottle felt in my hand and I vividly recall its scent! Mon Dieu!:)

This fragrance is like a piece of art, when i smell it, immediately i have a feeling of softness and peace, it's wonderful! about the fragrance, when you spray it at the beginning it's a little citrus with bergamot and something like lemon, then it lends a beautiful soft but strong sillage of citrus- frutal smell on your skin with black currant and freesia, about longevity is really good, about 8 hours. I highly recommend to try this one because it's unique.

I love this parfum... Not so fancy nor expensive, but the best parfüme I ever had! I felt it once in my teen ages, but I was not able to find the scent for years, but I've never forgot it! When I have found it after 8 years, you can imagine how happy I was.. So wear it, love it! 10/10
