Aura Alba

My brother-in-law (who is Brazilian) gifted me this for my birthday. I had never heard of the brand or the perfume, but as soon as I smelt it my first thought was 'how did you know this smells like me?' I am not sure if anyone has ever experienced that before - it's hard to explain - when you smell a fragrance for the first time and it reminds you of yourself. Anyway, that's why he bought it, and needless to say, I love it. It's a very classy and sophisticated scent, and very long-lasting. Sometimes fragrances that last a long time can start smelling a bit off in the deep dry down, but you can tell that the ingredients used here are super high quality. The dry down is sublime! I have never smelled Alba Rose before, but rose is one of my favourite notes in general, so I am not surprised I love this. It does have a soapy quality to it, so for those opposed to soapy notes I would recommend testing first. A true hidden gem!

Precious gem. clean, classic. Elegant white floral, half creamy and half green. A balanced sweetness, with a slight hint of lychee tartness in the opening. It also brings a tropical freshness. Intimate, close to the skin. A discreet fragrance that embraces you. It has been my “on repeat” while I’m holiday in my home country, Brasil. I’m in love and being a devout: also bought the aura alba moisturizer and body oil. Im allowing myself to appreciate this national masterpiece. Incredible quality. Update: I can feel a floral note with a sweet nuance in the opening, very similar to honey.. alba rose + sweet alyssum.

Se as blogueiras não gostam. Certeza que eu gostarei. Aura Alba é maravilhoso! Tem uma lichia inesquecível que afaga o olfato. Traz uma elegância e uma suavidade que envolvem e confortam como um abraço de mãe. Não é um perfume para date ou para balada. Trata-se de uma essência para mulheres que sabem a que vieram, mulheres ao estilo realeza: leves, delicadas que transbordam feminilidade e bom gosto.

Provei na loja e fiquei obcecada! Achei o valor meio alto na hora, mas consegui na internet por menos e valeu a pena demais. Cheiro limpo, levemente vintage, cremosinho, bom para o ano todo e qualquer ocasião. Estou achando que vai ser minha assinatura esta temporada...

Elegantíssimo! Em mim a lichia e essa rosa macia sorriem durante as 24 horas que ele é capaz de durar na pele! Uma joia de perfume, vale cada centavo. Simplesmente amo!
