Eclat d'Arpege Limited Edition

i found this LE online for a real good price and i m happy to have it in my hands now. the bottle is so cute and loveable. and the scent, oh theeeeeeee. it's such a feminine, tempting, clean and juicy, yet creamy peachy smell. ok it's listed bergamotte, grapefruit and orange in the top, but it smells fruity, understated sweet to me - not fruity sour as one could expect. the powdery white petals and the soft sweet rose are so well blendet in, that i can barely divide the single notes of this uplifting, sorbet-creamy heaven-scent. i wish it would stay forever in this stage. this aspect stays quite a good while on me and then it fades down to the base of soft woods, musk and ambery sillage with hints of powdery flowers and juicy sweetness still staying in the background. yes, it stays close to the skin but it lingers soooo creamy and lovely. it doesn't disappoint me for the staying power that mutch as i thought by tring this the first time when it came out in a perfumestore... maybe my nose was confused and overloaded by smelling a few other scents before on paper? luckily, today it whispers to me since more than one hour now, gentle and cosy without having lost its iresistable beauty of the first minutes after applying it and the beautiful stage of the heart. i'm pointing out i did apply it with light hand! since the staying power is to expect average for this one as for the original (3-4 hours maybe), it has the same carefree feeling by wearing it like the original too. they are nice and loveable sisters indeed. so happy to own both and being able to reach and choose for them in variation of my actually mood. :)

This one is among my favourite summer fragrances because of its juicy freshness. I love wearing sparkling fruity smells with sheer citrusy notes - they keep me in vacation mood and refresh me so well, that I can endure the heat much easier. :-))) To compare it to the original Eclat D'Arpege I can only tell that the other one is just more ordinary and overused that I don't find anything interesting about it. This one resembles much other fresh fruity-floral fragrances, as well, but it is still worth choosing it. :-)))

i love the smell quite as the original, even if it's somehow fruitier and doesn't last long. had a spritz in the perfumeria and after 2 hours it was gone.... but i liked it indeed. also i think it has some similarity to the original but less floral, more fruits and jucier, less green and no lilac but noticable as an eclat d arpege generic. eventualy will buy it just to have it as i m a big fan of eclat d arpege, just to have a variation of it.

Surprisingly I don't really like this fragrance despite its beautiful bottle. When I first sprayed it to my wrist, all I could smell is a sickeningly sour citruses. I couldn't sense any of the sweet notes which is my bias. I love fresh citruses but to me, this perfume has a very sour smell. It might be the chemistry with my skin so, yeah. But when it dries down, I'm pretty sure the sharpness of all the sour smell has toned down a bit. But still, there's no such sweet smell like everybody claimed here. I know, it has something to do with my skin. lol. But this is 100% a summer smell. VERY fresh and citrusy.

Very pleasant light perfume. It is well balanced but it is not a long lasting one. The strongest on me comes the citrus notes with the rose which makes it fresh but soft...
