Love is in the Air

okay okay, so bare with me...I read through ALL these reviews & this scent ON ME, is almost the exact opposite of what others describe which is crazy to me, so this parfum is def a winter fragrance for me b/c in the summer the opening causes me to sneeze uncontrollably, can cause a migrain, & I'm not at all sensitive to scents, the 1st spray is very very strong, in the winter/fall it does not bother me at all, this parfum gets better after sitting for awhile & the dry down is what I LOVE about this scent! This Parfum on ME if I didn't have a list of notes I would of guessed incense(STRONG), pepper, patchouli, plum & light citrus background, the pepper/incense, I get at initial spray is what causes my sneezing. Now that I see the ingredient list, I def believe it is the cedar/patchouli mixed with citrus causing my sneezing. But on dry down it makes everything SO WORTH IT, on me this scent lasts about 12hrs, 7 of the hours still projecting, the rest of the time the scent sits VERY close to the skin, but I still get random whiffs throughout the day. This scent pulls light incense, plum, white musk and light orange in the dry down on me, it's like no other scent I have & that's why I love it so much, may be a cheaper dupe but I have not found one yet🤞 This is not blind buy safe, or sensitive ppl safe, i still love it, but when I 1st received this bottle, I secretly HATED it, it def grew on me & I have learned to love it after I let it sit for awhile, used in the appropriate season & once I noticed the dry down. Good luck, I hope it works for you as well.

I've now had this frag for about 3 years. It took me awhile to REALLY appreciate this fragrance. Powdery, rose frags are my least favorite scent category...BUT this is actually blended so well. The "powder" (I inserted the quotations b/c I believe it's actually the musk and rose making this powder like feel and it doesn't smell like your traditional powder) imo isn't overly powdery, and it's not grandmothers powder table or talc, but it just flows through the other notes so well, you get a sweetness from the plum & citrus, the rose is a traditional rose, some patchouli but nothing too overbearing, it really just gives it depth, grounds it and keeps it from being just too powdery or too floral, but what really adds a unique flare to this frag & REALLY brings the powder like note, rose and patchouli together is the citrus notes, and the woody cedar. When all these notes come together you get a mature, warm, floral, that feels like what a sincere hug would smell like. imo this does WAYYY better in cool weather, like WAY better! So much so that I refuse to wear this in any other weather than winter & fall. The powder becomes way heavier in warm weather, the patchouli can really scream at you and it just doesn't smell as well blended. But in the winter this is really the perfect warm, mature, "I'm sophisticated", floral frag. I've really grown to appreciate & actually really enjoy this fragrance. The way this "powder" lays on my skin becomes so addictive it feels clean, gentle and again sophisticated at the same time. Gorgeous fragrance... IMO.

It prefers cold seasons. Today, on a stormy and warm spring day it is a bit too much. Probably would be better for the evening on a date with a prince. As it is the fairytale scent overwhelms me a bit. It starts like pure honey or nectar. Sweet jasmine and rose mix like this with plum. Out of citrus notes I feel juicy sun-drenched orange the most. The base is solid but gentle. Fluffy musk and chocolaty patchouli. They make it slightly gourmand. After 2,5 hours the heart of the scent truly shines. It is so dreamy, delectable and gorgeous. Melts with the skin and I no longer feel it is too hot for the scent. At 7 hours mark it hits drydown which is rather gentle. It goes to sleep. The scent is quite intense but charming. Like a love should be.

Fairytale-like. Princess, golden crown on her head, light blue long gown - I cannot shake this impression :) There is something childish to it. Brings back childhood memories. It is so pretty pretty pretty. It's an intense sensation of overwhelming cuteness. Fruity on top, fluffy in the middle, with something caressing, sweet and substantial at its core. Does not seem particularly original and yet it us unmistakable. Autumn and winter for me, yet it will work also during spring. I prefer it for the evening. A scent that has many copies. This one keeps the quality high - worthy of the inspiration source. It's my 2nd review of this scent. Makes an impact every time I wear it. Attention grasper.

So this is the most beautiful elegant feminine light airy, yet sweet powdery plummy rose. This so pretty. But longevity suck bad time, I’m so disappointed for the price, that it could be done with better staying power. If you stay home you can get may be 3-4 hours but it doesn’t become skin scent very fast, the projection is little none existent, someone has to be so so close to smell it. But if you go outside, the scent is gone like right away. Im just disappointed in lasting power, the scent is like nothing I smelled before. It has similarity to Chanel coco noir but minus that patchouli note I dislike in every Chanel.
