Manguier Metisse

Apparently I'm the oddball, I really like this! First of all it has great longevity on me, and that my friends is extremely rare. I can still smell this fragrance on my skin after 8 hours (the only other fragrance that has this longevity on me is Tom Ford Noir pour femme). This smells like sweet fruits but not at all like Escada or a typical celebrity fragrance. Menguier Metisse has depth and (at least for me) a creative vibe that evokes curiosity. This fragrance is something different. The sillage is moderate and I think that it's a pretty inoffensive scent. No overpowering notes and even though there is sugar listed in the notes it doesn't feel cloying og sirupy. Full bottle worthy for me!

Absolutely adore Metisse. It is like fruity-sweetened version of Terracota Le Parfum Guerlain, such a smooth skilfully blended mixture from Pierre Guillaume. I was wearing it three times already, always in a very windy weather, sprayed on long summer scarf and many people commented on my perfume in shops, at the dentist, everywhere really - they call it young, vibrant, happy, unusual, - probably my most complimented fragrance so far. Very well-lasting and projects for miles.

I smell an intense creamy mango, yes it's sweet but I love it. I feel the creaminess is actually coming from the frangipani, which I normally hate in scents but here it's a smoothing scent rather than the full on floral scent. Might have to purchase a FB soon.

I'm a fan of Pierre Guillaume. Aquasos blew me away as very unique and refreshing. I bought Myrrhiad and Liqueur Charnelle which are lovely but somewhat generic. I asked for a sample of this long wanting to try a mango scent and eyeing a full bottle purchase possibly. This pleasantly affected me - not as feminine as its made out to be though definitely erring on the ladies side. The initial blast is very floral, very typically feminine - after half an hour the mango comes to the fore and the florals die down to a compliment ( I get no tea at all) and the woody notes (cedar become equally complimentary to make it more masculine and ground it. AT a distance it comes across as slightly woody not to sweet vanilla but up close it has the depth giving the not too sweet mango with a touch of smokiness. If you like gourmand and something to add variety and like mango I think you would be happy. Not in your face, just cheery and passably male scent - I struggle to think of an alternative. Much better than expected and as advertised. I'm toying up a bottle but admittedly its for a novelty if I do...

I fell in love with this immediately, a sweet tropical floral but not in a sickly way. I makes me feel good and on a constant summer vacay. The only reason that it's not a love in my rating is that newer bottles of this has lost something, which I can't pinpoint. It's still a nice fragrance but the wow appeal is no longer there. And the sillage is also a lot weaker.
