Adage

The fragrance is unique, fresh, vibrant and inspiring! I absolutely found my "sole-mate" Thank you Regards Vanessa

Adage by Paris Bleu is the perfume that shows up fashionably late and still gets compliments first. It’s basically wearing sunglasses indoors. Not for everyday or office. This scent isn’t interested in being liked—it’s here to be remembered. Perfect for when you're feeling extra, dramatic, and just a little bit villainous, when the drama calls for eyeliner sharp enough to cut tension and your exit is timed to orchestral strings. I do like it a lot. This scent doesn’t fade. It haunts. I mean it last forever. Good all year around.

This is a review for the flanker, Blush (black bottle with blush pink label), which I couldn't find on Fragrantica. It was a random buy - I went into a perfume shop in London, and after smelling everything there, I picked this one up last, and it was love at first sniff, which rarely happens to me. I had to buy it and have been wearing it almost daily. I had spent hours doing a perfume sniffing tour, and this was the only one that stood out. The notes on the brand website are : TOP: BERGAMOT, ORANGE BLOSSOM, ROSE HEART: JASMINE, MUSK, AMBER BASE: SANDALWOOD, CEDARWOOD, VANILLA This is not the most luxurious or unique smelling fragrance, but it's so soft, powdery, and sensual that I can't stop reaching for it. You only really get the jasmine, musk, woods, and vanilla, but I love the linear projection. The top citrus notes are faint and will dissipate very soon, but I actually prefer that as citrus, floral, musk combos are not my favourite. I feel so feminine when wearing it, and for under £20 (90ml), I feel like I struck gold. If you want a grown-up powdery makeup scent (with a hint of Jasmine) that you could bathe in, this is it. I haven't seen any reviews of the blush version and almost want to keep it as my own little secret. I'm buying a backup bottle just in case.

Just like the review beneath mine, I'm giving my opinion about Adage Blush not the original. If you're looking for an alternative to the gorgeous discontinued Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez (Ivory cube bottle), look no further. This is it. Extremely similar and I'm very happy to have found it. It's woody, powdery, musky, floral and sweet all at the same time. Notes are really well balanced and mixed to perfection. It's available at Beauty Base (UK) for £13. An absolute bargain.
