Annicke 3

This perfume was instant love for me. It gives me the same vibe as Gris Dior, although they don't smell much alike. To my nose, they both are (modern) chypre-floral fragrances with rose as a star of the composition. Gris Dior is dry & slightly earthy, Annicke 3 is incredibly creamy on my skin. Annicke 3 is an alluring, refined perfume for women (although I think that a man could easily pull it off, too). The notes that stand out for me the most are powdery rose and cashmeran, which gives a dry, musky-woody touch to the fragrance. Red berries add some tangy fruitiness whilst gardenia & sandalwood apply a soft, creamy undertone to it. Annicke 3 is a beautifully blended and well balanced composition. It lasts on my skin for 8h+ with moderate projection for the first 2-3h. It doesn't develop much on my skin but I don't mind it... I just adore this scent!

Strong in hot weather but wearable. It is new to me and I have had it so far only in hot/warm weather, incl. on sweaty sports dancing and it goes surprisingly on spot. In early fall it projects intensively. I love to open the topper and sniff. Hubby distinguished it amongst my other current perfumes. A very Chanel-y/Classic-Guerlain-y vibe✈️ All time fav.

Annicke 3 turned out to be quite an unexpected scent. Instead of the sweet floriental-gourmand I expected, it is a straightforward fresh, woody rose with an earthy, modern chypre drydown. There is a creamy undertone, but it doesn't reach gourmand territory and is very much relegated to the background. Although pleasant and good-quality, it is nothing unusual and is reminiscent of many scents. Still, I much prefer it to Annicke 1 or 2. A3 is rose-dominant from initial spray, a sheer, dewy rose, light and fresh but not thin. The fruity notes are tart and fresh, enhancing the freshness of the rose. There is very little sweetness here, it is more green and realistic. As it develops, clean, creamy white florals creep in, complementing the rose and adding some muted sweetness. It is a nice counterpoint to the woody rose accord, but isn't prominent enough to set this scent apart - it simply adds body. I get a prominent patchouli note despite its absence from the listed notes, complementing the rose to perfection. The woody notes emerge, rounding out the chypre drydown. There is a soft muskiness, perhaps due to the cashmeran, but it is restrained and doesn't overpower this scent with a heavy grey fog. It fades to a musky-woody skin scent. Sillage and longevity are moderate. A decent everyday feminine scent, A3 is transeasonal. It is casually elegant and ideal for workwear. Nicely-composed, A3 features a subtle twist on a classic. 3.5/5.

As others said, this one is an interesting, not generic at all, classic and well composed all-around. It definitely has this elegant Chanel/Dior/Mauboussin vibe without being too mature, too vintage or too chypre. It's very feminine, modern and wearable, I can definitely imagine it as being first step of a young woman into the world of more 'grown-up' perfumes. It's advertised as inspired by different gardens in Europe, but I wouldn't say it's strictly floral or prominent on anything. I think Cashmere Wood keeps florals and fruits at bay, which makes it evade some popular and utterly boring scent profiles we currently have on the market. Extremely underrated and worth more hype.

A juicy rose, feels classic but not dated. Its sweetness is tempered by slightly powdery rounded softness of the white florals. As I feel that sweet rose scents do get tiresome quickly, I like to layer them with a darker scent (like ETAT'S Hermann which also has rose) every now and then. This one works great in that way.

Very pleasant floral rose beauty, too floral for me but as a gift I wouldn't say no :-) 2&4 my favourite from this collection

Annicke 3 starts on my skin as a strong fruity cologne, but it rapidly evolves into a deeper scent, quite heavy on the woody notes. It's both floral sweet and woody dry, not too smoky nor becoming masculine, but still more complex than the classic average feminine scent. The drydown is a comforting, sweet note with a very faint touch of woods, really beautiful. Comparing it to Coco Mademoiselle EDP (not the parfum that is listed as similar), I can tell the resemblance in the DNA of the two, as they share a remarkable similarity in the floral part, but Annicke 3 adds these noticeable, however well blended, woody notes that immediately shine throu in the first minutes and make the fragrance a lot more mature. This perfume is office friendly and gives a quite professional vibe all year round. It's a safe blind buy only if you are into woods in fragrances and like them on the sweet side. I have to report that, for the first time in my life, I might have a mild allergic reaction to a perfume, since my skin became warmer in the application area.

Annicke 3 has a sharp citrus opening of mandarin and red berries gives way to a white floral heart with a sweet woody base.

I bought this after sniffing a bunch of stuff at Madame Aucoin's perfume shop in New Orleans (definitely recommend stopping in there if you find yourself in the French Quarter). This reminds me of Mancera Roses Greedy, which I had a sample of, but it is much better blended, more sophisticated, and much better performing. The comparisons to Chanel scents I've seen and heard make sense. I really enjoy it and it has surprisingly good performance. If I spray three sprays, one on each wrist and one on my chest, I can solidly smell it and catch whiffs of it many hours later. Twelve hours later could still smell it on my skin. Because of that quite reasonable performance and the inoffensiveness of the scent, I will likely make this my signature office fragrance.

Recently received a sample of this as I am trying to expand my fragrance collection to include more woody leaning fragrances, and this is one that I would need to mix with another sweeter fragrance as this is just TOO much wood/masculine scented for my tastes, which is a shame as I like the minimal bottle of this. Have also tried annicke 1 & 2 and they are much more up my alley but if you like an oriental woody fragrance this has great projection and lasting power!
