Parfum de Femme

A compliment-getter. Someone told me it reminded them of a Lancome fragrance, and I wonder if she meant La Vie Est Belle. Idk, because I haven't tried La Vie Est Belle, but looks like others find a resemblance. But here we have a lot of bergamot in the opening. Patchouli and sandalwood ride upwards on the bergamot. Freesia to me is kind of sugary. Middle notes are very blended, hard for me to pick out, but I do read the iris faintly--not as prominent as in Tocade, which others have listed as a 'reminds me of'. Overall Parfum de Femme is very warm, with the vanilla, very strong and long-lasting, and there is a "thick" character, if you will, offset by the bergamot. Sillage is very close, almost too close. Feels like a cologne, really, but it is also heavy, thick and sweet. Edit again: Another day wearing this perfume. Loving the sour note of the bergamot. The florals along with the bright bergamot and the sweeter apple note are so delicious. I really enjoy the complexity, although I can see why some are turned off by the heavy, sweet aspects. You have to be in the mood for something amber-sweet. I bought blindly from an online discounter, as it was available and affordable.

I tryed this one yesterday while shopping around. It was love at first sniff. I thinks it`s totally awesome! I`m looking foward to buy it.. But it`s quite expensive here (in argentina we have extra taxes for those products that are foreing). I tryed it on my skin, it lasted more than 7 hours (i must admit perfums don`t last much on me unleast they very good ones). it suited me perfectly, it smelled so right, i even wanted to bite me and eat those sweet apples i was smeling. I definitely recomend this one. My mother is abroad right now, so i hope she buys it for me!!!..

Very much along the lines of Amarige Mariage and Desnuda....but, nevertheless I was not disappointed, because i really enjoy this type of scent. Montana is the most subtle of the three and the least spicy ( or not spicy at all) which makes it wearable during warmer months. I try to approach each fragrance individually, because originality is such a relative notion....it's just a matter of how early or late a certain perfume is added to your collection. My final verdict is I like it!

This is a beautiful vanilla fragrance without the super sweetness of the currently popular perfumes. A little similar to Jessica Simpson Fancy, but not as sweet and more similar to Rochas Tocade 2013 but a little sweeter. At first I could smell the ripe apples and after a while the amber, vanilla and sandlewood. It's a very beautiful warm vanilla perfume with a touch of spice. I absolutely LOVE it!!!

When I first had a whiff of this fragrance I immediately thought of a floral fruity gourmand, not an oriental floral. If you love vanilla, then you'll love this one! It's with you from beginning to end. I swear I also detected the smell of almonds as well. It's a lovely sweet, musky vanilla aroma that has good staying power.
