La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette

This is just lovely, I have a sample of this pretty EDT I sprayed it first thing in the morning and it's perfect for spring/summer and i actually imagine it on a winter night as well, just before going to bed!! It's opening is very pretty, on my skin it's all about sour cherries at first spritz but after i rub my wrists together (I do this to offer the perfume more breathing space and to have a touch of perfume to both wrists without concentrating it...i'm used to heavy perfumes lol) So the sour cherries, yes....tart with a hint of sweetness to it and i actually get a bit of patchouli with the apples and orange blossom, I dunno how they made it this time, every note is distinct but they blend so nicely together. After about 10 mins after it settles down, i get some green notes but it's very subtle as well as the roses and jasmine which is weird they always pop on my skin but this time they're really tame while the freshness of the apple and the orange blossom are more dominant and the sour cherries somehow tones these two down. I think it's also because of the amber, its warmness is countering the effect of the freshness and we're left with a well balanced sweet-fresh-tart scent. Now the musk, i think it's the anchor of perfumes, whenever it's there on the list down at the base notes I know that it'll be subtle throughout the experience but THERE ya know giving the perfume richness and well anchoring it. I love musk. I think it's weird that the appearance of the notes on me are reversed and i can't seem to keep the rose and jasmine on me for long, they stay for another 10 mins after settling down then just they disappear. It's not sad, I've a lot of perfume that have jasmine and rose where these notes are "present" so it's a nice change for me to have them for a while then buhbye, I actually like this. The dry down features patchouli, very well presented with the sour cherries which is the dominant note in this fragrance I like the dry down very much, it's fresh and has a hint of citrus to it somehow. I'm actually impressed, i tested the EDP before and i think it's less impressive if you compare it and the EDT. I'm talking about the 1st EDP here the 2009 one which is has a very strong licorice note that made me hate the perfume. However, this EDT made me reconsider the whole La petite robe noire collection and i might give the EDP of THIS edt a try or la petite robe noire 2. I'm excited to try them now which is weird ;P I might get it actually, it's not something I'd get but this year I'm trying to buy perfumes out of my comfort zone and experiment with fruity and sweet scents (which i used to dread and avoid) BACK TO THE REVIEW, i tend to lose focus sometimes lol, the sillage is not bad, it's not so close to the skin but it's not all over the room, not bad. The longevity is also not bad it stays for 3-4 hours, but who cares if i had this perfume i'd reapply it whenever i can, it's very pretty, lovely and pleasant :P Chic in a fun way. It's a perfect perfume to start your day when you're feeling good and wanna stay feeling this way throughout the day. Do i like it? yes. Do I love it? I think I certainly did. A very weird thing of me to love such a perfume, a nice change for me.

It's been a while since I fell in love with this gorgeous cute bottles,but I could'nt get along with LPRN edp,though it was not in my dislike list but there was something there that pushed me away,a medical smell,perhaps licorice+cherry To be honest,I bought edt without even a single test,hoping to own a lighter version of edp to give it time and maybe get along with it more easily,it turns to be right that I am really lucky in my blindbuys,there is no need to try to like this one,this is just mine from the initial spray LPRN edt is the younger sister,Ican see similar genes,but this one is lighter,brighter,fresher,happier,much more wearable for me It is a simple floralfruity,starts mouthwarering sour and sweat with a dominant cherry and apple,and soon rose and jasmine kick in,this young a bit green scent makes me smile,it's as refreshing as drinking a cool glass of smoothie(mix of fruit juices)in a hot summer day...and what is this green nutty undertone here?!I can detect it vividly but there is not such a note listed here,is this pistachio?or a green almond?I simply love it❤ I prefer to wear it during spring,and am thankful of guerlain for such a easygoing younglady spring scent,unexpectedly my man loves it and encourages me to use it daily,the only problem here is about moderate longevity and sillage,which is not bad for an edt ❤❤❤❤ گرلن لاپتیت روبه نویر ادوتویلت، شباهت هایی به خواهرهای دیگه ش داره،،مثل خواهر بزرگترش ادوپرفیوم، آلبالویی هست و مثل خواهر دیگه ش لاپتیت فرش،یه نت سبز آجیل،مثل پسته یا بادوم سبز داره لاپتیت ادوتویلت، بجز اشتراک نت آلبالو،شباهت دیگه ای با ورژن ادوپرفیوم نداره،آلبالو در اینجا هم نت غالب هست اما در حد ادوپرفیوم یکه تازی نمیکنه،برخلاف ادوپرفیوم، فضای این ورژن کاملا خنک هست..اگه مشکل تون با لاپتیت ادوپرفیوم دراین بود ک ترکیب آلبالو و شیرین بیان،رایحه شربت های دارویی رو براتون تداعی میکرد،از این بابت با ادوتویلت مشکلی نخواهد داشت گرلن لاپتیت ادوتویلت، رایحه غالبی از آلبالو و سیب سبز داره،این نت های میوه ای و ملس و آبدار،فضایی کاملا خنک و فرش رو بوجود آوردن،رایحه کمرنگی گلی در پس زمینه عطر، تامین کننده لطافت زنانه اون هستن این ترکیب میوه ای، گلی خنک و ملس،در بستری را سبز از پچولی و ترکیبات سبزی مانند پسته سبز،همراه با کمی مشک تمیز و پودری حاضر میشن،،ادوتویلت باتوجه به خنک و کم شیرین بودنش بسیار مناسب تابستون هست در، رایحه ملایمش حالت جوون ودخترونه ای داره اما چون رایحه شیرین و لوس صورتی رایج عطرهای دخترونه رو نداره،میتونه برای خانمهای جوون هم مناسب باشه ماندگاری و پخش اون متوسط هستن ک باتوجه ب ملایمت و خنکی عطر،کاملا قابل قبول هست

April 2015: It was on my wish list and finally I purchased it. My previous review was based on a paper strip try but finally the notes are little bit different so I review it again. Definitely cherry is the very first note detectable. There is a little bit of rose note as well. Finally I do not notice apple so much but it should be somewhere on the background. Jasmine is noticeable as well and not in your face way. A big surprise for me is this patchouli note that finally is rather characteristic and at the same time completely different from the one in any other fragrance tested so far. Usually I do not like it so much and avoid perfumes with a strong patchouli note as it destroys the scent for me. But here I just love it and with patchouli it becomes more punchy making disappear an illusion about the young and completely girly type of fragrance. Patchouli makes this eau de toilette more mature. It is finally not so sweet just slightly sweet, it is more fresh then creamy. It just cannot become annoying. Gerlain is a very old perfume house so no doubt that this perfume is of a high quality with a very long lasting power and strong silage. A definitive keeper. October 2015: it's so pretty, refreshing and so cute as scent! I find myself achieving it more and more often. I like it so much! I would like to own in addition a green bottle of the Robe with pistachio note. It has a similar vibe but notes are different. Guerlin signature is recognizable in both.

If edp strongly reminds me Lolita Lempicka, edt strongly reminds me Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Shame, shame, shame... p.s. Decided to describe the fragrance... It opens with sour cherry and much less with rose, sweet and sour at the same time. And then in the sillage it starts to smell like sour cherry would mix with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Of course, amber is noticeable. Black currant and apple are also very noticeable. Luckily on me there is no much musk. I feel musk, but there is no soap on me. The sillage is strong. When I tested edp, I didn't get so airy sillage. I wanted edp, but the fact that it reminds me one of my favorite fragrances - Lolita Lempicka freaks me out( Maybe I wouldn't buy this one too, if I had tested it better because of the similarity with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. But I'm glad that I bought edt. It has more not deep, but fine airy sillage, despite I prefer deep fragrances. Actually, I just wanted to find new cherry or sour cherry deep and even gourmand fragrance. But I will better buy Lolita Lempicka again. This edt I will use, too. Only... Read the review:)

I like all of the La petite Robe Noirs that I have; EDP, EDT, Couture, Intense and Black Perfecto. And I suppose I should like Couture (raspberry) or Black Perfecto (rose) the most, due to my usual preferences, but actually, the EDT scent is the one that I like the most. Well, of course the EDT has the rose and the berry (cherry) that my usual perfume favourites tend to have, but there is also a certain freshness, that the other LPRNs do not have (although Couture comes close). I would say LPRN EDT is a spring fragrance or up north where I live also a summer fragrance (the temperatures here rarely rise above 25 Celsius - not even in the summer). There is quite a bit of romance in the fragrance, it's pink, sophisticated, sweet but still fresh. There is also something hard-to-pinpoint classic about it. As for longevity... better buy a bigger bottle or two bottles, one to keep at home and another to keep with you to reapply during the day. Sillage is ok, as long as you apply quite liberally before going out. For me this is pure spring romance.
