Accord Particulier

Do you believe in love or lust at first sight? Or first sniff? Yes, it is a cliche. But let's talk about a fragrance that absolutely was love at first sniff for me. Givenchy's La Collection Particuliere's flagship bottle is the quite magnificent Accord Particulier and it is meant from the outset as a layering scent. Ignore the reviews: there is nothing wrong with the performance or projection here and it lasts a solid 7-8 hours on the skin and is the most gorgeous skin scent to boot. Yes it is expensive but it smells incredible. The top is a floral note is a Damascene Turkish Rose extrait hiding coquettishly behind the patchouli in the heart. Here we see nothing less than one of the absolute loveliest uses of vetiver I've ever come across in perfumery. I did wonder if it was The Queen Of Vetiver - the incomparable Nathalie Lorson behind this one. It turns out that yes, it was indeed her. We have some very contemporary fixatives and smoothing agents in the base and again, I challenge you to find a better done Ambroxan accord anywhere than it is here. The blending is just superlative. Truly, let this drydown on your skin, memorise the notes and then take it in: it is breathtaking. As with all of the best fragrances, the notes get nowhere near explaining what it is and what it is intended to be. Givenchy's PR says this is supposed to smell like an extremely high end Parisian hotel and I do get that, absolutely. It is incredibly sexy, unreachably wealthy and refined and somehow still very wearable. If the exciting thing about love and lust is how it makes you feel when you allow yourself to be taken up by it, then you should allow yourself to be all caught up in this fragrance. If ever there was such a thing as a fragrance that was love and lust at first sight, this is it. Incredible stuff. Three Word Summary - A True Masterclass Layering Suggestion: I think you can approach it from a musky direction so use it as a base layer for something like Cedar Chic or possibly Musc Nurasana (in a very small spritz), or you could go down the opposites route and use it as a base layer for Garcon Manque or Enfant Terrible by the same house. My personal tip though is apply it as a complimentary base layer for Tuxedo by YSL. I swear it'll turn your toes up and push your eyes back into the back of your head. Orgasmic. Thank me later. Outfit suggestion: This is a slightly worn, well-loved Mulberry Heritage Clipper weekend holdall bag, filled with formal clothes for dinner out tonight, a bottle of Ruinart, a bottle of Hibiki Japanese Harmony, some toys etc from the-box-we-dont-talk-about and the good underwear. And a bottle of this. Oh yes. Scent - 10/10 Sillage - 9/10 Drydown - 10/10 Bottle/packaging - 9/10 Performance - 7/10 44/50

I’ve tried this randomly at T4 Heathrow when I had time to kill before a flight it. I’m so glad i did. Best thing I’ve ever smelled in my whole entire life, genuinely from the first sniff I felt my pupils dilate. That being said, there’s no projection (skin scent) with short to medium longevity on skin. In my opinion, this is WAY too good to be a skin scent. If this had more projection (not beast mode, just enough to be noticed when someone walks close by) and greater longevity, it would genuinely be the best perfume out there and I’d have thrown my wallet at the vendor on the spot. It’s a fresh, almost sweet, very light rose scent that’s anchored in amber, woodiness and earthiness without turning into dirt at all, it just gives a backbone to the perfume that makes it fresh yet firmly rooted. It’s intimate, inviting, cozy, clean, sexy yet cute—it’s perfect. However given the lack of projection and shorter longevity, I can’t justify such an expense. I really hope a house reworks the DNA into something slightly stronger with greater longevity.

Very good elegant mature quite sexy type of scent. for a male i picture a man in a nice suit doing business/meetings/special occasion but the huge problem in this fragrance is the longevity, i feel like after 30 minutes and sometimes less, out of a sudden the fragrance scent disappears and that is really unfortunate because, the scent of the fragrance is amazing that rose note is phenomenal. moreover the fragrance itself doesn't justify the amount of money that givenchy asks for, basically not worth the money type of fragrance, it has a very disappointing performace of longevity and sillage.

I absolutely love this and I love mixing it with other fragrances to create something even more gorgeous even though it’s great on its own! Rose, Vetiver, patchouli but the patch is in the background the real star is the ambrox to me! I use this as a “primer” for my fragrances. Meaning I put it on first or over top my fragrance of the day when I want something different. This smells absolutely gorgeous! Definitely unisex, perfect for all seasons and occasions. Very versatile! I would definitely give it a try it’s very underrated and it’s lovely!
