Fruits du Mouvement

I was lucky enough to find this perfume on sale, around $80, so even though what the other reviewers said about the longevity of this scent resonates with how I experienced, I still feel like a winner. The longevity only good for about 5 hours and then it turns into skin scent for the rest of its life (around 5 more hours), it's still detectable because I like to spray on my clothes. Longevity apart, i feel that this is a wonderful perfume, the plum is the classy one, yes it's plum but the fruit and cashmeran undertone gives off different vibe than the other plum fragrance. The opening is quite generic, but soon it moves into the middle note which for me is the actual show.

The composition opens with a playful mandarin note which is accompanied by luscious apricot. Together the two begin the fragrance with a vitality and earnestness which accompanies the hope a new day brings. Subtle albeit essential black pepper and ginger root marry well with the juicy fruit-filled accord. The piquant black peppercorn adds further liveliness and vigor while ginger imparts lemony-like facets. Slowly the scent of another stone fruit emerges, that of the plum. Its sweet, nectar-laden scent is embellished with indolic jasmine absolute. The usual heady quality of jasmine is tamed by the aforementioned accompanying fruit notes. It is soft, restrained and unabashedly feminine. As the arrangement dries down, a warm crystalline amber rises and creates the sensation of sugarcoated candied fruit. Sandalwood and cashmere woods help conclude the fragrance in an embracing woody accord. 'Fruits du Mouvement' is yet another stunning perfume from the "Noir Premier" collection by Lalique. It is hard to resist the beauty within this modern fruity-floral masterpiece. Women of all ages will enjoy wearing it, as the fragrance immediately enhances one's mood and demeanor. It seems suitable for daytime wearing, and appears especially striking when worn in spring and summer. The heat and humidity of the warmer months of the year are appropriately suited to help diffuse the intoxicating jasmine absolute. Sillage, projection and longevity appear to be above average. If one is looking for a new charismatic scent to own and wear, you must look no further than to Lalique's 'Fruits du Mouvement'; one of my favorites from the line.

This scent has oriental philosophy. It's thick, fruity, sweet, fresh spicy and it will shine in fall and spring. It's not very heavy so it would be also nice for cool summer evenings. It leans to feminine scents clearly but for an arab man it could be an every day casual fruity scent. Dominant notes are : a big abstract sweet fruity note with something caramelized in it, mild plum, beautiful natural smelling jasmin which is choked into the fruity sweetness, still noticeable but not as it should be. The fruitness is stronger than the sweetness, this scent is not overly sweet. There is also a spicy freshness from the mild mandarin, the faint ginger and the pepper which are at the background. The rest notes are very mild. At the late dry down it's more noticeable the cashmeran. The projection is heavy for half an hour. The sillage is moderate. The longevity is high-moderate, about 6 hours but most of its life is a skin scent. You must stick your nose on your skin to feel it. Overall it's a wonderful feminine scent but it should be less expensive because the vibe from it, is very familiar and common and its performance isn't the best.

Ginger amber plums. Fruitti sweet amberic boozy blend that turns to amberic sweet chocolate. It begins sweet fruitti and stays like this for a while then goes sweet yet boozy chocolate with light amber. A soft cashmere, & soft jasmines softens the blend quite well! Quite a complex blend that creates a sensual vibe somehow! I get the naughty resin that i find in "Bello Rabello" by Les Liquides Imaginaires with big doses of chocolate. Impressive.

That’s a nice chypre fragrance with lovely fresh fruity notes in the opening (mostly peach?) and classic mossy base - dry and earthy but still quite light. It reminds of some fresh fragrances from 80s, but I cannot recall the exact names. My ig: scent.guide
