Sauvignonne

"Sauvignonne" has a really interesting concept, but unfortunately the delivery is not as succesful, at least for me. This perfume opens with overload of citruses, making this slightly unpleasant, but the magic starts to happen when grapes appear. For me it does not smell like Sauvignon Blanc, it's a bit more of a "riesling" type of scent, the grapes are remarkably fresh and almost ice-cold and there is the sweet peach, it never gets overly sweet, but there is always the lovely feminine vibe of ripe peach. Staying power is excellent and silage is very good. Ir didn't quit work for me as I felt something is missing and well I don't feel like going around smelling like wine, but this is worth a try. "Sauvignonne" is a unique try on citrus aromatic.

On opening, this fragrance is very reminiscent of its namesake. A distinct herbiness to it... verbena, mint, coriander that contrasts with an incoherent powder. It mellows and sweetens on the drydown. An ideal scent for a modern minimalist. Reasonable silage and longevity 3/5.

Yes, they nailed it! The mineral quality of sauvignon blanc is there, the clarity, and the tenacity. I almost finished my sample last spring. I would apply sparingly, though, the stuff is strong, and can get overwhelming when the grapes kick in.

I really really like this. Very citrusy and fresh. I think it's slightly vintage smelling but not old fashioned.

Sauvignonne - On first sniff, fruit salad after it sits too long, a bruised fruit aroma. I can definitely smell the grapes and a hint of citrus, whiff of peach and then the powder hits. As it dries down it morphs into a very old fashioned sweet talcum powder scent with a plastic twist. It reminds me of those scented dolls the old 'Liddle Kiddles' that came in a plastic perfume bottle. Then the scent disappears. 90 minutes and it is gone. I really and truly wanted this to work for me but sadly this scent does not work on my skin.
