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.

This is all about the heliotrope. Without looking at the notes, it registers as powdery, amber, benzoin and slightly musky, creamy and slightly sharp like a vintage peach. So, heliotrope, sandalwood, orchid, vanilla.

Still I hear nobody about this perfume, but I know a lot of gorgeous ladies here that adore the Orchid!! So ladies, do not miss out on this wonderful gem. As far as I'm concerned, every Scherrer is a GEM.

Nathaliez could not agree with you more!! I LOVE this perfume very much and I am astonished it not being known by others still!! People, discover this hidden gem!!

Can someone clarify if they reviewed EDT or EDP? I really want to try EDP as well. Ok, i bought EDP. Review is coming soon...

I love it ! I sense in the dry down a little teeny bit of Lolita Lempika 😍

I got this bottle (EDT concentration) in a very nice swap with the aforementioned Relle. This is a very simple fragrance, but not boring in the least. This is primarily a strong, velvety Peony masquerading as an Orchid. I'd be happy to grow orchids that smell like this. Anyway, there is Peony everywhere, and the perfume wears pleasantly strong at first. By the time an hour passes, it becomes less loud and outright floral, but it adds a pinch of wood, while becoming a bit creamier. After several more hours the wood becomes more and more apparent, and then the perfume smells like flowers in a fairy tale growing next to an old-growth tree--I mean--not quite real, but pleasing nonetheless. Lasting power is VERY good, sillage is pleasant. I don't understand why this isn't more popular. All of the stages of this perfume are so pretty.

This was probably my first tester with orchid in it. The tester is probably old, has turned very dark-brown-red. I have had pretty bad experiences with Demeter's orchid scents but I remember the smell and I can smell some orchid here too. But this one is a combined perfume, not a single scent and much better. The issuing year causes this being vintage-like. I also have the soap of this which smells similar and is nice but the orchid note, if I distinguish it correctly, is not there. The overall feeling really is that I'm smelling something immense. The design on the bottles reminds me Burj Khalifa building, the highest building on earth which certainly is immensely big. But maybe it is a version of Sears/Willis tower instead because that looks more similar.

I firstly have to say that this is the UGLIEST fragrance bottle I have ever seen, let alone owned. It's HUGE - tall & awkward. Ugly cap & indented "city". If I ever need a good weapon when walking past my collection, the Immense bottle will be the first thing I pick up - it would knock out a bull. Now for the scent, Immense is a spicy floriental which is quite powdery. It seems to be a mixture of Nuits de Scherrer, S de Scherrer & Scherrer 2 all in one. On my skin, it started out creamy, then I got the florals & then the spice. I have to get used to the florals with the both though. At the end it was quite spicy, in a very nice way. It also lasted a long time. I think it would be nice for casual days, and work. Give it a try!

I have the edt and I really like it. I can best describe this as 'nice'. This is what I have in mind when I just want to smell nice. It's quite light but present, I don't struggle to smell this at all and it lasts a while. It's a great vanilla, powdery, woody perfume for summer time or for days I just want to smell nice. When I initially got it, it had a sharpness about but that has gone away. I don't think it smells dated at all. Pity I have a small 30ml. Had I known I would grow to like it this much, I'd have gotten a back up.

Big powder bomb, quite immense in that aspect. Heliotrope is the star, surrounded by a dry sandalwood, amber, and vanilla base. I don't get much orchid; if it's there, it's covered in the heliotrope's powdery presence. Surprisingly vintage feel, a bit like Lady Caron. Best-suited for autumn and spring, enough heat to let the scent unfurl and spread its wings, too hot and you're smothered, too cold and it wilts.

This is a very warm scent on my skin, so much that I feel the heat in my nose, when I sniff my wrist. It took me a while to realize that I am smelling a lot of sandalwood, but it's not a straightforward sandalwood scent on my skin. It's complicated and feminine, and very warm.

Oh well, not for me. Blind buy giant bottle and so disappointing- not bad but just not good enough to wear twice when so many more interesting beautiful and yummy choices are available. Has a bit of the same cheap heavy drugstore vanilla note that I detect in Bob Mackie's Masquerade and Nuits Indiennes but not nearly as heavy or cloying. This is boring on skin and I'm not keen on it on paper. Just really common and familiar but not in a comforting way, with that annoying cheap note hanging around from start to finish.

Immense is an supersized orchid monster, good monster, not a baddie. Like the New York City style bottle, this is the big apple of orchids. The sillage of my edt wears like a niche edp. It softens to a slightly spicy, sandalwood cloud. It's good for any season, but especially warming for brisk days. I'd just barely amp up the spray for evening wear. I have an extra bottle I'd be willing to swap, if anyone's interested. Not your run-of-the-mill fume.

I was actually hoping for an “airy, lotion-like smell” per the review below, but unfortunately to me, Immense just smells like burnt hair.

Like a "friendly" version of Chanel No 5. No sharp edges from aldehydes or dark recesses from oak moss or civet. No vetiver. No warming rose or sentimental peach. Citrusy orange on the top. Heady white flower floating on a base of vanilla and sandalwood with a smidge of patchouli. A smart boil-down of so many good but more complicated scents. Very classy, highly wearable. Layers well with the other white-flower scents, e.g., Rodier.

Not impressed. Based on the notes and reviews I expected a warmer fragrance with more amber and vanilla. Instead I get an airy, lotion-like smell. Not offensive, but not my taste either. This will probably be worn to bed so I can use up the bottle
