Promesse de l'Aube

Galbanum whizzing, accompanied by sharp Bergamot, gradually turned into round and gentle retro silty white flowers. The rich and ripe fruit chypre made my heart flutter. It is quiet and beautiful, like Giorgio's "Sleeping Venus". The fragrance is named after Romain Gary's novel of the same name. Promesse De L’aube can present a gauze-like effect, while being thin and transparent, it also takes into account the subtle changes between the fragrance materials to avoid the heavy feeling of the pile. And it smells really good (which isn't easy). When I got acquainted with Promesse De L’aube and started to analyze its composition, the one I saw the most was Samsara. Promesse de l’Aube has sandalwood, but I think I feel just as much about the middle notes of floral fruit. I've heard that Promesse de l'Aube is very similar to 31 Rue Combon. In fact, wear them a few times, and their differences will gradually become prominent. The experience of the nose is rich with time. Now, I already feel like two completely different fragrances. Promesse de l’Aube has a peach and apricot sweetness on the palate, with a bright and cool floral aroma that makes it clearer than 31 Rue Combon. Reminds me of the Peer Gynt Suites morning song. Promesse de l’Aube is just the right amount of plumpness. The image color presented is rose gold, a very traditional French perfume. 31 Rue Combon is not as bright as Promesse de l’Aube. Probably because of patchouli, it has an indescribable deep and stagnant, very warm, dark orange color close to brown. Looking at the infrastructure, spices can be used alternately or at the same time, MDCI is committed to restoring the chypre of "the past". As for the 31 Rue Combon, which was launched in 2007, Chanel has long determined that it will be a "new" chypre. They have different goals.

The bottle is a true work of art,I would be proud to display this on my dresser!Now for the scent,I am picking up a strong Chanel Allure EDP vibe.It`s a lush,warm, floral oriental.Smooth and creamy with a hint of citrus,which at first is sharp,but thankfully calms down to give it just enough edge.I would prefer to wear this in the evening,it seems a little formal for day.Lasts about 4 hours average,medium sillage. Sophisticated and totally femme,timeless elegance. I would wear this if not for the price,so for now, I will wear Allure,and Frederic Malle-Iris Poudre, both,just as beautiful,less $$$.

FK is a greatly respected parfumeur and he has some current big hits. I have faith in him, so I purchased a 10 ml decant blind, having read that a generous application is needed for decent sillage. I'm halfway through after only a handful of wears. Promesse de l'Aube feels natural; you are walking into the depths of an overgrown garden where all of the plants the notes represent are present in abundance, melting away before your eyes... leaving their essence and a wash of colour. Another reviewer says it reminds her of waking up in a centuries-old farmhouse in Provence in the very early morning. This perfume is dry. When guest A. Rose says creamy and waxy, I don't know what she means. The jasmine, ylang, and sandalwood combine to create a dryness that nearly catches in my throat. It is a quiet perfume, wears softly against the skin, and yet it has a tone that is a bit, dare I say, screechy to me. I do agree that Promesse is nostalgic and that a mommy could wear this scent. I already have a similar fragrance, with a similar mood, that I like better: Juste Un Reve.

Random thoughts I'm having with this fragrance: -The opening is very similar to Guerlain's Philre d'amour with its big BOOM of a citrus jolt -Francis Kurkdjian was meant to be my soulmate, but since we've never met I make do with his awe-inspiring fragrances -the Execs at MDCI need to put their heads together and come up with a way for their amazing fragrances to last more than 3-4 hours -I thought En Couer en Mai was this line's best scent, but now i'm not so sure -This fragrance reminds me of when I woke up in a 350 year old farmhouse in the rolling vineyards of Provence. The morning dew had not yet lifted, the surrounding hills were various shades of purple, and everything was serene, pure, and fresh -I would give this a 'Love' and a place on my perfume shelf if it were longer lasting and had more sillage. sigh.

I agree with many of the points of the previous reviewers: -- A very natural smelling jasmine and citrus. -- Very low sillage. So disappointing in that way, because I think it's a gorgeous scent. But for the price, is it really worth it when it so quickly becomes just a skin scent? -- Has a quiet quality that would make it work for an everyday perfume. -- I think Francis Kurkdjian is my secret perfume soul mate too. I love everything the man creates. This one must have a high percentage of natural ingredients, though, because my skin just eats it up.
