Rendez Vous

ALERT! Mimosa lovers must try Rendez Vous! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. If you're looking for sunshiny mimosa floral happiness - Rendez Vous has got you. This is the perfume equivalent of Reese Witherspoon. Yes, I can see some resemblance to things like Givenchy Amarige due to the warm enveloping mimosa floral emphasis. In the beginning (first 10 minutes) Rendez Vous reminded me a lot of Guerlain Champs Elysees but it gets warmer and more dense than that one. It also has a more natural feel than fragrances like Amarige or Champs Elysees. Rendez Vous is a vibrant, cheerful floral. If I think about it I can detect the mimosa, violet, green notes, and almond blossom quite clearly. The almond is not the nut or liquor, it's not gourmand, but more along the lines of the almond blossom. This is very much a floral fragrance; I don't get much vanilla or anything other than vibrant, warm florals. Someone below me said you'd like to be around a person wearing this fragrance, and I think that's very much the case. It's not a statement-making or sexy scent, but it is such a sweet, floral, radiant ray of light, anyone smelling this on you will love it. Others have called it powdery, but this doesn't register as powdery to me (no baby powder at all). Longevity: moderate about 5-6 hours (lasts much better on clothing/fabric) Sillage: depending on how much you apply it's either intimate or moderate Rating: 10/10 Sublime Bright Warm Floral. I purchased a 30 mL bottle from Teo Cabanel and have been wearing it the past 2 days. I'm definitely about to buy a 100 mL because I know I want this around.

Editing the previous review and adding on to impressions:This a sunny rounded soft and fluffy kind of mimosa, fluffed up by gentle violet . I must admit I have rarely come across such a light almost elfic spring. This is in the same range of sadly discontinued Kenzo Summer. But this is a great substitute possibly better. For all the spring mimosa -Violet -iris lovers - this is the place to be. Its dry down is one-for-one Trussardi exclusive line Porta Nuova . In fact testing these both fragrances made it clear that there are very small differences between them . Porta Nova being somewhere a deeper and richer fragrance , and TC ‘a creation would be more transparent and superfluous .The scent is comforting happy , has nothing to do with definition of sexy: it’s all about your personal mood for rounded inoffensive sweet mimosa in a sunny spring sun. Just what’s needed to lift the spirit. No disappointment of a blind buy here - I am sure my 100ml bottle will have quite a dent. However, my Trussardi exclusive Porta Nuova is a steady love, where as Teo Cabanel is a strong like. Having them both - possibly doesn’t make sense but given my all favourite note+one (mimosa) makes it such a pleasure to have also this one . No regrets at all.

I am blown away by this house in general! The customer service, eco friendly products, introductory offers and attention to detail is exemplary. I have tried Rendezvous as part of the discovery I recently received and I have almost used up this sample alone! Although the beautiful concoction of light florals does lean slightly more feminine, I love wearing this as a confident man. Definitely worth a try at least and I hope to pick up full bottle asap! Update; I recently received my 100ml bottle of Rendezvous and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Some have said this leans more feminine but as a man in my early forties I love this scent on me. It lasts 4-5 hours on my skin but has lasted on my clothing for over 3 days now! I would highly recommend trying the discovery set from Teo Cabanel. My next purchase from the house will likely be café cabanel.

Wow! Totally agree with most reviewers here - you HAVE to like mimosa to like this smell! It's an unabashed yellow flower bomb. However, there's the familiar clean note that Teo Cabanel seems to have nailed in their bottles of late - this one is a bit more talc-y than some of the other bottles I've smelt though. There's definitely a tonka note, but it's blended beautifully into the talc cleanliness of this smell. Can totally imagine this being pulled off by a chic Parisien/Parisienne in the summer months. Maybe a bit too mimosa-heavy for a full bottle for me, but a very lovely fragrance to smell.

Mmmm, this is a really sweet, bright floral fragrance. It has a clean, airy powderiness that would probably be a little bit shrill if it weren't for the delicious almond and tonka notes that round it out with their malty, putty-like smoothness. It's like washing dainty, feminine garments in a basin with floral-scented laundry detergent, and like a freshly baked angel food cake in a sunny flower shop. This smells the way Elle Fanning looks—that classical, rounded, Madonna-like beauty; all soft, doll-like elegance; cream, butter, and sunlight.
