Peut-Être

For those interested in the difference between the La Collection version (2008) and the 2020- the vintage has more complexity in the opening- Lilac with an almost hairspray note dominates the opening of the 2008 Peut-Etre before becoming a lovely musk. 2020 Peut-Etre has the lilac replaced by a pink powdered almost abstract rose, sweetened by vanillic benzoin and fluffy musk. I prefer the modern with more amber. It’s flirty yet sophisticated and grown up with out being matronly. Side by side there is a huge difference to me. Nothing like Iris Dragee in scent but similar in texture. 2020 Peut-Etre needs to be oversprayed. At first I thought I was anosmic to it because my usual 4 sprays yielded quite a low projection. This evening I sprayed 8 times on each arm (concentrating the sprays rather than all over) and I’m in the most beautiful scent bubble!! Highly recommend if you enjoy powdery or boudoir scents.

There’s a Gershwin song that goes “it’s nice work - if you can get it.” This perfume is the olfactory version of that song! Absolutely gorgeous, powdery rose musk that I go mostly anosmic to pretty quickly. I say mostly because I do pick up wisps of scent from time to time and it’s heavenly. I asked my partner if he could smell it and he looked at me like I was crazy - he said: “I could smell it from the floor below!” 🙇🏼♀️ He did think it was nice, though. Also, it makes my cat run around like a wild man when I wear it, so I guess he can smell it too! :) I feel like I’m going to be able to “learn” this scent, so until then I’m going to spray carefully. Imo this is FBW but only after you test to see if it works for you.

Purchased a sample of this through fragrancesline.com. Initial spray smells like nail polish remover (don’t really like the 2 ml atomizer it shoots jets) but that nonsense doesn’t last long and dries down to a soft lovely rose with amber and musk. I adore it. I have hard time with Roses Vanille which I know is a popular scent, but this is more inline for what I want in a rose perfume. Maybe it’s the musk and amber that ground it better for me. The rose is light and airy and doesn’t get soapy like some roses do for me. It’s lovely. I feel ladylike and soft and feminine wearing this. Really wanting a full bottle. It feels like the spring time companion to a winter of Oud Satin Mood.

Absolutely beautiful scent. Soft, delicate and feminine scent mainly with fluffy, powdery musk but I do get some hints of the rose as well. For adults. I would say this is a more sophisticated scent that is suitable for someone that does not want a huge scent bubble around them, but rather a fragrance you can smell when you lean in to someone. Smells quite different on paper than on skin so I would definitely recommend a skin test. Signature worthy elegant scent!

Gorgeously radiant - creates a gorgeous fragrant forcefield that sits around you and a beautiful trail. Something about this reminds me of something I loved. No idea what - that fragrant déjà vu feeling. Thankfully it’s a good one. Not obviously rosey or musky. To me golden amber but so clean a cross between gorgeously fresh skin and the warmest of breezy sunny days. Lightly sweet and ageless. Garners a lot of compliments and for me a keeper ❤️
