Peche Cardinal

One of the best fruity floral perfumes I've seen so far. It exudes a sense of luxuriousness, class and hilarity at the same time. Peach, tuberose and coconut are represented in a very natural-smelling way. They're blended masterfully together without the annoying or headache-inducing aspects of tuberose and or coconut as seen in some other perfumes. Plum, blackberry and black currant intensify the juicy, lush and delicious fruity aspect of the perfume behind the peach note and artemisia and cedar take the perfume away from getting too much heavy or nauseating. All in all, it's one of the bes in its own category and I highly recommend you to test it, even if you think that peach/tuberose combo isn't your cup of tea. یکی از بهترین عطرهای میوه ای گلی که تا کنون تست کردم همین کار بوده. عطری که حس اشرافی لوکس و فرح و شکوه ازش میباره. من بشخصه ذهنیت خییییلی مثبتی از ترکیب گل مریم و هلو در عطرها نداشتم چون موارد متعددی در این سبک دیده بودم که یا حالت مصنوعی شدیدی داشتند و یا بسیار سنگین و سردرد آور بودند. اما گل مریم و هلو بهمراه نارگیل گرم و مخملی در این عطر بطرز فوق العاده زیبا و طبیعی در کنار هم جفت و جور شده اند. انگور فرنگی و توت سیاه پشت سر هلو کارشون اینه که حالت آبدار و جذاب میوه ای کار رو افزایش بدن و از اونطرف سدر و درمنه مانع از این میشن که شیرینی و گرمای عطر از حالت تعادل خارج بشه. تست این عطر رو به همۀ دوستان پیشنهاد می کنم حتی اگر فکر می کنید این سبک کارها و ترکیب هلو/مریم باب طبع شما نیست.

I adore this fragrance. A peachy tuberose that lingers and lingers and lingers. I sprayed this on one afternoon and could still smell it on my skin the morning after. I am a man (39) and I think it's a bit of a shame how this seems to be labeled as "for women". It's a niche fragrance and even though it might be a bit feminine leaning (whatever that means), it is just a beautiful composition. The peach scent here is that of peach skin, ripe peach skin, like what you smell when you pass by a grocery shop in the sun and you can smell their ripeness calling out to you. It is a delightful scent, subtle, juicy and succulent but never sickeningly sweet. The bottle with its extended rim is a nice tactile experience, the atomizer is good but the packaging is a bit generic. I was looking for a peach-centered fragrance for the summer and this just stood out to me. As always, be sure to try before you buy. Perfect perfume to wear whilst listening to Laura Veirs' brilliant album "July Flame" (the title refers to a type of peach), watching and reading "Call Me By Your Name" and becoming inspired to do a baked peach dessert with custard. The essence of my idea of summer in a bottle.

This is in my top 5 out of 200 or so frags, the peach and plum are ripe and delicious smelling while the tuberose/coconut blends flawlessly. This is one that people always notice and compliment- especially my fiance. I am not usually a fan of tuberose, but in this it is very well done and I will make an exception for it. The bottle is expensive, but the juice is of high quality so it is concentrated and lasts a long time. I have had mine a long time and have barely made a dent in it, I dont think I will ever use a whole FB. The packaging with the marble head is expensive and excessive in my book, but I will not tell anyone how to spend their money. This smells like a dripping peach alongside a sun ripened plum, coconut with liquor, and the berries are an afterthought and not overpowering at all... All without smelling at all synthetic. For those of you who love this but the price is too steep or you are looking for a strong, much less expensive peach/plum combo I would suggest Miss Marissa by Ebba at luckyscent.

The best tuberose-peach-coconut blend out there! I have also tried Molinard Tubereuse Vertigineuse and Bois 1920 Sensual Tuberose, which have similar notes lists, but they can't hold a candle to Peche Cardinal. I really get the peach and blackberry, especially in the opening. They're a nice contrast to the more powdery, classic tuberose that is the star of the show throughout the life of the perfume. An additional bubbly, clean top note, almost like aldehydes, enhances the effect. The base is full of coconut and sandalwood, which both have dry and woody facets on one hand, but a delicious milkiness on the other. They emphasize the creaminess of the tuberose, but also somehow tame it at the same time. All in all it's just very beautiful and well-blended. You have to enjoy classic tuberoses to like this, it has a distant relation to Fracas, but due to the intense fruity notes it also has a modern side. Definitely a scent that stands out in the sea of other tuberoses.

This one took some work on my part. For the longest time I could not get past the plasticky veil of Peche Cardinal and carefully worked through my sample over several months whenever I could brave it. The trick that finally helped me was to spray the amount of the perfume that I normaly would and the way I normaly do it. Then it fell into place and melted into the skin, ah! Tender peaches on a creamy soft musc, other notes are much less prominent on me. Charming and airy, pretty irresistable for me. Suits better for a leasure day as it is calming and relaxing. Sillage is about an arms length. I'd say this is one of a kind in my no so small collection, so I invited a bottle. Unfortunately the lovely cap with a porcelane bust was not available, so there is a boring golden cap. The juice is golden nevertheless.
