Essence d’eau

Damn it! I don't understand it, but I've never had a perfume that smells of pee... This is the first one - smelling strong and confident (of piss) even after a couple of hours. Goodness... my skin never reacted this way. I'll give it another try in a couple of days, maybe today is not my best one. Update: I am starting to detect flowers in this perfume. Yellow flowers. But these flowers still smell slightly uncomfortable to me. Let's see what other qualities I'll discover in it in the next weeks. Yet another update: it is becoming interesting - I feel like the smell of pollen on me when wearing this perfume. A heavy kind of pollen, of yellow flowers, of course. There is something special about this scent - you have got to wear it confidently, boldly. It is unusual. Slightly powdery after a couple of hours; and it stills smells a bit "dirty" on me but that's something that often makes a perfume very sexy. Honey, which I love in perfumes, is very subdued here. I guess if it gets to fully convince me one day, it may become one of my very favourites. I'm getting closer to it now. An update, anew: This is my absolutely favourite perfume of all times. Not light, not modest, a tad dirty and extremely sexy floral.

it's crazy how much I love this fragrance. On my skin is warm smell of nectar. Probably it's honey and amber so well blended together. I wore Poeme but this is more soft, more amber pot dipped in honey, just gorgeous. I used up 30 ml bottle few years ago and I cherrished it to the last drop (have I mentioned that this is a smell of spring to me?) and gave it up I 'd ever have it again - but last week happened I found it on flea market in my country for eur 20 with posting and I am over the moon. I can't wait to next spring, I just wear it because of pure happiness shinning through this fragrance. Maybe we are going to find a swap resolution with previous reviewer, I truly hope so.

A beautiful scent. I've had my bottle a few years now. The narcissus provides some kick to the warm amber and other flowers. It is bright and intense floral. My dafs are in bud and this scent smells of spring to me. It smells of hope and of reawakening. I can get a bit nervous of florals but this is not overwhelming. I tend to gravitate towards wood or resinous fragrances. I'm perplexed about others mentioning lilies or gardenia!! It's most definitely a floral and nicely blended. What a shame it was discontinued. It really is a classy scent and reminds me of the vintage classics. It has both good sillage and longevity. I can see why folk hunt for it. It really is a beauty.

This smells exactly like honeysuckle. And I don't mean it kind of smells like honeysuckle, in a weird synthetic way, like many other yellow perfumes do. Essence d'eau smells like my childhood. My firends and I would spend many summer hours outside searching the neighborhood for wild honeysuckle bushes. We would decimate the plants, sucking the nectar from every flower we could find. This perfume is the sun setting on a warm, late July evening. School is over a month away and there are infinite honeysuckle bushes to discover, but it's time to go home and eat dinner with the family. Wonderful.

Another gem I discovered in these fogy, cloudy winter days. I love it! It's very intensive floral, but not so spring floral, not too harshy fresh floral, but mature, not thin but thick yellow floral. It sweet (I smell honey, so beautiful blended) but not annoying yet. I was fascinated at Poeme when I tested it and Essence will compensate it, it's no need to own two of similar. Maybe someone will disagree but I'm not such an expert to find any big difference.
