Les Garconnes Rose A Saigon

"I just received my beautiful Crazylibellule and the Poppies Les garçonneS ROSE A SAIGON today. I don't know why but on my skin all I smell is Rose. Then the Rose slowly disappears after about an hour of wearing. On me this smells just like beautiful Roses freshly picked and made into a bouquet. It's worth what I paid for this, which was under $$9.00 on eBay. The Push up carton holds 0.5oz of solid stick fragrance which is white and smooth when applied, it sinks right in my skin. It's divine, and I absolutely love this. I also ordered many different scents so I could try this line for the first time. I think the Pompon Gardenia is going to be a second best scent for me and these can be layered together for a divine treat for the senses. I'll get back and let you know how the Gardenia reacts with my skin, maybe I will pick up more of the notes in this one. It states on the box, to kiss my skin and it did leave me breathless while it lasted and I love the stories of each on these and this one, states; The Story~Her name was Rose, and she dreamed of other worlds, of the effervescence of the roaring twenties, and the spellbinding odor...the moist air of Indochina, a crackly melody on the gramophone, and the spellbinding odor of dreams on her skin." I highly recommend this fragrance for anyone that loves the aroma of a fresh picked rose with dew drops on the petals."

Upon removing the cap of Crazylibellule and the Poppies Les garçonnes ROSE A SAIGON, it seemed that this was going to be a very sweet rose perfume. Although it does open on the skin with lots of fresh and sweet fruitiness, shortly thereafter the patchouli and the woods begin to expand, eventually overtaking the fruit and making this quite a lovely fragrance. So here, again, I find myself, against all expectations, delighted with yet another creation by the wild and crazy folks at Crazylibellule. I am especially enamored of the Les garçonnes series, but I must say that even in the somewhat less appealing line (because it is more desserty), Poule de luxe, the notes are still super: fantastically fresh and enticing. The perfume in these sticks does not degrade in quality or morph into other substances--more often than not a serious problem when it comes to fruits on my skin, which often end up as cloying jam. In these creations, the fruits and the flowers stay fresh and vibrant, and in ROSE A SAIGON, a truly scrumptious composition, the patchouli is nice and chewy as well. Highly recommended for fruity floral lovers, this is a very nice take on the rose with relatively low sillage and pretty good longevity.
