Immense Pour Femme

EDP: Immense is misnamed. This is a sweetheart of a scent. It is quite sweet, without being gooey. It is rich without being intimidating. On my skin it is not powdery at all, but rather a clear heliotrope/vanilla accord, supported in the heart by a touch of gardenia (just a touch!) and sandalwood appears in the dry down. Warm, sweet, rich, but not complex. And yet this is thoroughly enjoyable. I wear Immense on gloomy, rainy days, when I need a little sunshine in a bottle, or a hug. This is a friendly scent, not one for when you want to impress, but a scent made for cuddling up on the couch with a cup of tea and a loved one (furry or otherwise). I find the sillage to be between light and moderate- people have to lean in towards me to detect it. But very long lasting, and always enjoyed by everyone who notices Immense! I normally hate sweet scents, but Immense is perfect for those days where informality rules, and comfort is needed. It is also, in my opinion, a good starter scent for the friend who is addicted to gourmands, and desperately needs an introduction to non-edible scents---you know who I'm talking about!

I am wearing it again today, after about a month's break, and I must admit I like it a lot more this time. I still don't think the name fits this fragrance as it is not really at the level of something big,but it is a very nice warm ambery scent. Great for casual wear. The projection is enough to be noticed in the crowd, and the longevity is above average: pretty impressive for EDT. It's good sometimes to take a break from non stop abuse of your nose by testing and rediscover what you already have in your collection.

For some reason it reminds me of Amarige Mariage, but a quieter version of it. I think it can be suitable for warmer days too. Overall, nice fragrance. I wore it most of the day today, and interestingly, it reminded me of Cinema by YSL for some reason, then Lady Caron. It has a very decent lasting power for EDT. Nice scent, but i don't think i will repurchase it again. I don't think it has enough originality and individuality. All i think while wearing it is that it is very reminiscent of something I already have.

this opens with gardenia, orange and a powdery vanilla. i get a bit of sandalwood and heliotrope too.i find it cozy and very pretty. the gardenia and orange are quite strong at first. the orchid is more in the background. it has a vintage 90s feel which i love.

Intense, original, powdery, vanilla incense laced with heliotrope. Truly gorgeous and underrated. Sensual, woody, and earthy. A mature woman's fragrance. A take-no-prisoners kind of fragrance that is so different from what they produce nowadays.
