Cheval Blanc

I feel pretty grateful to have some of this juice. It's so perfect but also understated elegance. Like a dreamy iris cloud. Yes it has a similar vibe to Perle Imperiale but I think this is executed much better. There's something about Perle Imperiale that my nose doesn't agree with. I would be curious to see what the others smell like. I heard the Seychelles one has a green accord. I want them all! lol

Finally got my hands on that one. Beautiful bottle and has a gorgeous scent. I feel like iris could have been slightly less powdery but that's just nitpicking. It's expensive obviously but definitely worth it imo!

A new love! The fig is bright and creamy, iris slightly powdery and the musk a bit sweet, grounded with a hint of wood. Gorgeous!!

I am not getting Mon Exclusif at all. Im not sure which resort my sample is from, but the decant I have is extremely underwhelming and borderline nauseating. It isnt poorly blended, but it isnt particularly well blended either. The notes seem to be a soft, wilted, muddled mess. Its ripe fig off the top- maybe too ripe- splayed onto a powdery orris-y background, with a slightly scratchy sandalwood in the background. And musk everywhere lol Anyway something in here reads as slightly rancid to me, while also reminding me of unwashed parts. I like several from Guerlain, but they can be gimmicky and I think this is a great example of that. If you are hemming over whether to drop an exorbitant amount of money on this fragrance, I would say that there are masterfully blended frags with this exact DNA that will run you a fraction of the price. Some fragrances are unique or masterful enough- or just plain discontinued- to warrant an insane price, but im not seeing it here 🥲

whoever said this is like Mon Exclusif needs to have their head examined. This is nothing, I mean NOTHING like Mon Exclusif. This is chewy fig. A bit sharp on a bed of milky sandalwood and fluffy clean musk. It part perle imperiale and part musc outreblanc. It's too sharp for me but gorgeous if you like this scent profile.
