Pour Rêver

Blown away - this is bewitching... In essence, a nuanced and unusual blend of powdery nutty woody spiced notes that gently, but definately enchants. Don't be put off by main accords - it's not that sweet. The dryness of the mate, wood and nuttiness cuts through. In fact when heading towards drydown it's almost savoury. Detecting hazelnuts, dry cocoa, iris, gaiac, incense, rum + vanilla It's familiar, yet with an intriguing edge that keeps you coming back for more. Perhaps the subtler cousin to Iris Cartagena and the more sophisticated sister of By the Fireplace.... Lasts better on clothes than skin (3 hrs skin, 12 +hrs clothes), but somehow you forgive its transient nature - because it works so well with the dreaming concept + the fragrance itself! Fair sillage - tends to be more skin but will also swirl up in wafts. An ethereal woody gourmand blended by the hands of a master perfumer who knows exactly what she is doing. FB worthy - absolutely!

Pour Rêver Maison Violet Pour Rêver is cozy, warm, and a pleasure to sit & cypher its notes on your wrist while leisurely sipping a mug of steamy hot Chai. Barely any sweetness detectable amongst its rich notes. Pour Rever is a gourmand atmosphere, sheer notes of delicacies, they don't entice you to nibble, but to gently inhale their aroma and enjoy the content of their masterfully blended beauty. A delicate teint of Iris amongst gentle spices, incense, soft tea, bourbon vanilla and cocoa powder reminds you why Maison Violet is named thusly. Absolutely lovely!

Lovely gourmand elements accompanied by a high quality incense and vanilla. This is a perfume, not dessert, which I love. I was trying to think of what this reminded me of, and then I realized it was Fève Gourmande by Guerlain. They both have cacao, rum, patchouli, and incense...this one has iris and the Guerlain has rose. They're not dupes but close enough that I only need one (FG, which I already own).

SUCH an interesting fragrance boozy, dusty, cold-spicy, a bit sweet with some gourmand facets but it's not a sweet perfume... I get the cocoa powder with hazelnuts, rum, incense, matte and patchouli.... it's a great, great winter or fall frag, I have smelled nothing like this also perfectly unisex in my opinion I am very impressed by this house, its creations are very refined and with character

At first you might think that it’s a prominently Cacau based perfume. The sweet chocolate/Hazelnut are at the Heart of it but it’s not a sweet sweet fragrance per se. The Iris smells more like Orris Butter and the combo with myrrh gives it a cinnamon touch. However, This is a Oud & Bakhoor Fragrance. And that’s what it sets into. Mid longevity But still so pretty 8.5/10 Fall/winter
