Abbey

Sugar-Crystal-Textured PEAR-SORBET with JASMINE, Iris & Sandalwood-Patchouli Base. This is an affordable dupe of La Vie Est Belle Lancome with good approximation & average or slightly above average performance. Opens with a burst of pear-sorbet with hints of blackberry that has a granular texture found in sorbet. That deepens into the jasmine, iris & orange-blossom heart with white-floral, clean & powdery touches, all resting on a sweet & creamy vanilla-sandalwood & patchouli base with hints of musk & amber. Performance is lighter than LVEB but easier to wear year-round imho. For what it is, it's a love for me. Enjoy!

This is such a beautiful scent. I don't get anything heavy like patchouli. It does not remind me of Le Vie Est Belle one bit. It is simple, but beautiful. All I get it light, airy florals with fruity sweetness. I don't get anything heavy or any vanilla at all. Doesn't mean it isn't there, but on me, it is the prettiest floral. I was a floral hater before this scent. This is the one that converted me. It's like spending spring in a field of flowers.

Yay! I’m so happy this fragrance has been added into the database. Abbey is a really pretty, sweet, and feminine fragrance. It reminds me of a softer La Vie Est Belle, minus the black currant and praline. This is light enough to wear for many occasions, and offers moderate performance and soft to moderate projection. The packaging is really beautiful as well, being soft and iridescent.

The orange, pear, iris and jasmine are the main notes I'm picking up in this perfume. It's actually really pretty and my second fav English laundry perfume. I have femme and had the primrose perfume from them as well but gave primrose to my daughter because it wasn't mature enough for me. Femme is so beautiful I sleep in it but this little gem is a good for any time except sleep. Kinda getting cotton candy vibes, this is pretty. I like this one a lot.

A fun wear. Gentle spicy sweet. Doesn't remind me of an English garden, but it's a mood-booster. It's so easygoing. A pretty patchouli. Well blended "sweet powdery floral" (I get mostly iris), but it's mainly about the patchouli on me. I actually enjoy this one much more than I thought (and patchouli isn't the easiest note on me).

It’s a nice scent. Balanced blend of florals and fruit but also not unique. And this does not last longer than 1-2 hours at best.

Blind buy, just received it in the mail. Its a blast of sandalwood and patchouli with an unbalanced light white flower vibe. It doesn't smell like an English garden. Bordering on men's cologne. Disappointed. I was expecting more of a floral bouquet and this is not it.

This is just any iris patchouli perfume off the shelf, think la vie est belle or any of its flankers. I dont get the sorbet note, just a harsh blast of patchouli. It’s.....fine once it dries down. This is a perfume for your mother. Cute bottle though.

I'm not convinced I will keep this. It smells on first spray like a celebrity scent, like a calmer brittany spears dark fantasy perfume or the like. Perhaps that is the pear and blackcurrent. Turns into a delicate jasmine with the mildest of powder notes, just enough to smell ladylike. Turns pretty quickly into a delicate skin scent. This is the skin scent of the princesses in a children's fairytale.

This is a great cheapie from Marshall’s. Have bought five from this house! Excellent performance and beautiful sweet floral Vanilla. Everyday safe for anytime and any place.
