L'Eau Rêvée D'Ikar

This is not really an aromatic. It is nothing like Citron Noir. Its lingering impression is a soft, creamy, gourmand combined with a whiff of something pleasant and natural and lightly smoked in the surroundings. You’re a kid, eating pistachio icecream in a garden of lemon trees and Mediterranean scrub baking their resins under the sun. There is the faintest whiff of wood-smoke blowing in on the wind. Warm, evocative, lovely. It’ll be someone’s favourite scent - because it will be the scent of someone’s childhood somewhere, for sure. I deeply believe that anyone who ever thought they were looking for a comfort fragrance, like ‘by the fireplace’, was actually looking for this. Elegant and superior among the ‘cozy’ incensey frags, and not at all ubiquitous. It might have displaced Tam Dao for me in that department (which is a feat). However, a weak performance. Stays close to the skin, as do all the Eaux de Revee. Sniff worthy, for sure. 4/5 P.S. after a few months, I have used up my sample, cause I’ve been craving this lovely veil. I think it’s my own childhood I’m reminded of, and the nostalgia of it has crept up on me. I might have to full-bottle it...

My love. When I do not know what to wear, I wear this. It's never overwhelming. 150 ml drunk in 2 1/2 years. Masculine-barbery? Yes. But in best possible way. Stylish. Cold frag for sober moments. All-rounder for home, work and errands. Still and layered. Appropriate.

It instantly reminded me of the crisp elegance of Chanel 19 Poudré, with more warmth and sunshine. There’s also that bright floral-green vibe I like in Jardin Secret by Houbigant (but minus the "babichka /grandma/ vibe", which is even more awesome).

Such an interesting scent, I don't have anything similar in my collection. The opening is not for the faint hearted as it starts masculine with a strong herby and raisinous/waxy note but it does not last long maybe 5 min and you get used to it with time. Then there is this fresh yet creamy and slightly sweet fragrance, hard to describe but all the fragrances from this line are very fresh, natural smelling and well blended. I would say this fragrance is addicting, even my husband liked it on me.

This is quite nice. This citrus isn't overly lemony which is always a worry for me when I see lemon listed as a note. It's slightly green but not so much that my head thinks fougere. The iris/mastic/pistachio middle gives this a creaminess that mutes some of the bright aspect of the citrus yet the citrus doesn't disappear at all. Instead, I think it's actually enhanced by the middle. This is simply a very well-crafted and classy fragrance.
