Love Generation Art's

What a gorgeous fragrance. Opens with a burst of citrus, invoking thoughts of sunny days, walking through Tuscan orange groves laden with creamy white blossoms. Raspberries stain my hands as I nibble on them, adding their tart berry flavour to the heady mix of fragrant air. The buzzing of bees amongst the blooms, leaves a rich, golden trail of honey sweetness. Something sweetly floral teases my senses, I look up to find trellises heavy with fragrant jasmine. A very shy Patchouli note, follows me like my shadow, just close enough to catch a quick glimpse now and then. This is a glorious concoction, which reminds one of warm spring days with a promise of a great summer. Jeanne Arthes creates some of my favourite perfumes and this one does not disappoint.

Jeanne Arthes: 'Love Generation Art' Extremely well blended as are most of Arthes fragrances, at least those I have tried. There are so many in her line and the one's I really knew well are unfortunately discontinued. This is budget friendly, well depends on point of purchase really, this being made in Grasse France, this and many other of her fragrances seemingly prototypes of more expensive design house fragrances, however they lack staying power. This one in particular. I have a couple of other fragrances in the Generation line reminds me vaguely of her powerhouse chypre fragrance 'Romantic' at least in the initial delivery and this appears closest to that fragrance. Generation ART' has a lot more staying power then "Rock' probably due to the patchouli which is evidently perceptible but not harsh or dirty. Three years ago patchouli made a comeback at least in Melbourne. I'm way away's from my hometown now. ( we used to drown in patchouli oil in the seventies) PHEW! The patchouli is well blended in G Art'. one could probably say this is more of a fruitchouli? it in any case adds depth and some mystique to an otherwise basic Orange Blossom cross patchouli fragrance. The sillage is a tad stranger than her newer scents probably due to the prohibitive stabilizers now banned in modern fragrances. This is also a bargain basement fragrance . I paid just $5.00 AUS dollars for a 60 mill EDP, but it may as well be a strong body spray for the lack of longevity, but I do like the linear personality of this fragrance. Like the other flacons in this series the shape reminds me of movement. It's cheap, So What?. It's made in Grasse, if you don't take it too personally . Arthes fragrances are a lot of fun.

Very pretty! Sparkling, juicy, delicious enough to drink! Smelling this actually makes me think of sunshine, and I would think it would be a great aromatherapy. I can smell the orange and raspberries sweetened with honey and blooming jasmine intertwined. This is a golden scent if there ever was one. This has medium-low longetivity - about 4 hrs.but the last 3 it stays close to the skin after first hour with a beautiful sweet drydown. I would love this more if it lasted :/ -I feel like maybe I've smelled this before on others? Smells expensive and very well blended.

it smells just like paco rabanne lady million

Sprayed it all over and 20 minutes later it's gone! It acts like a cologne or EDT on me, the fragrance just doesn't stick at all. No way that I can detect any progression, it is gone too fast. Very, very disappointing. Anybody interested in buying the bottle or trading? I would prefer a trade, but I don't know how to set up a swap list. Also I have two more in the Loves Generation series that act the same way so they will be up for trade as well. They are Fashion's Victim and Rock.
