Suave Petals

I owed Sauve Petals a second review so here it goes: After testing it twice,I decided to give it away but had to give it a last chance before doing that.my mixed feelings suddenly changed to love and I immediately removed it from my swap list Yes it belongs to rose-patchouli category which isn't my fave but the intresting point is that neither patch nor rose aren't too dominant on me anymore!nectarine blossom and orange blossom are stronger on me and their silky,bright freshness is wrapped by a super creamy,warm and slightly spicy sandalwood.now it's totally different with any of the before mentioned similar perfumes.I don't find it too mature or serious anymore.it's just elegant and sensual and can be so versatile as I can't think of any situation that it's not wearable in it.it's wearable year round and is great for wearing on a date night in a fancy restaurant as well as a day business meeting Nectarine blossom is a new note for me but I can pickup a silky floral here with a fresh fruity undertone(somehow close to mandarin blossom but even better) which I believe must be nectarine blossom and it's devine and is strongly present specially during first 3,4 hours and makes me love this perfume.orris gives this such a gorgeous powdery vibe that is to die for.not dusty or baby powdery but a luxurious sheer and smooth powderyness.it smells very expensive yet approachable and inviting,so balanced and well blended.sophisticated but not old even a bit.giving it away could be one of my worst mistakes سوآو پتالز بنظر من شبیه هیچ کدوم از عطرهای ذکر شده بعنوان مشابه نیست چون بیشتر از اینکه رز و پچولی غالب باشن،شکوفه شلیل و شکوفه پرتقال به همراه چوب صندل بسیار خامه ای و کمی اسپایسی غالب هستن.ظرافت ابریشمی و روشن و فرش شکوفه ها با ته بوی میوه ای و جوون شون،تضاد هنرمندانه ای با بلوغ و گرمای چوبی نت های پایه ساخته.ریشه زنبق کمی حالت پودری ب رایحه میده در مجموع رایحه فوق شیک،بسیار گرونقیمت و کاملا خانومانه ای داره.رایحه ای ک بااینکه بالغه اصلا پیر نیست.معتدله و بصورت چهارفصل قابل استفاده ست و بااینکه رایحه پیش پا افتاده و تکراری نداره،میتونه خیلی پرکاربرد باشه.موندگاری خیلی خوبی داره و بااینکه پخش انفجاری ندارن خط بو ب جا میذاره.بشخصه اوایل زیاد دوسش نداشتم و حتی میخواستم تبادلش کنم اما یهو حسم بهش تغییر کرد و الان عمیقاً دوسش دارم دقت کنید که عکس فرگرنتیکا عکس شیشه خالی عطر هست درحالیکه در واقعیت مایع نارنجی رنگی هم توشه درنتیجه شیشه س رنگی تر و نارنجی-صورتیه جون دار بنظر میرسه

Received Suave Petals in a swap today and it's first day of wearing it I was hesitant to choose it in swap since patchouli and orris are tricky notes on me.I also hate Narciso Rodriguez for her edp which is mentioned by 5 people as a similar perfume.I also own SJP Beauty,JHAG Lady Vengeance and Micallef Mon parfum(other similar perfumes).while I like all of these three,I didn't want to have their dupe too. I have mixed feelings about this perfume but all in all I think choosing to have Suave Petals wasn't a bad decision.while I can see why other fragranticans chose mentioned perfumes as similar ones,it's not exact dupe of any of them. When first sprayed all I can smell is patchouli and a shy rose.not an unbearable patchouli,still too much for my taste but after ten minutes,rose blooms and it's a pretty rose with a hint of fruity,peachy nuances.at the same time musk shows up as the most prominent note(though not listed).this musky rose is nice and elegant and it projects so good that I can easily smell it on myself But after a while patchouli comes back to stage hand in hand with oris and Suave Petals settles down to a soft,dark,powdery-woody-earthy scent with just a hint of musky rose lingering in background,I get a slight vintage lipstick vibe from it but this stage is very fleeting and it's not the end of this journey.as clock tiks,something like a spicy,peppery sandalwood becomes more and more apparent,or maybe it's just the mix of notes smelling like a very creamy woody thing.this dry down stage reminds me a honeyless Estee Lauder Sensous with magnolia of Sensous being replaced by rose I like the fact that it's not linear but I can't get along well with this spicy-creamy woodsy drydown.it seems to last forever so there's nothing to ask more in case of duration and projection All in all I can see that this is a high quality and classy fragrance and it's nice to have this luxurious bottle in my collection but I can't see myself wearing it a lot.it's not my type and feels too serious,formal and mature Bytheway it's bottle's color doesn't look as pale as fragrantica photo,not before it's all used up as it's juice is ambery and makes it's bottle look orange and a happy pink shade Edit: I decided to sell or swap it

Suave petals is not what the name or a quick glance at the notes here, suggest it is. It's a cashmere, velvet orris, musk with challenging top notes which hint at flowers but never commit to one. When settled it shows more conventional aspects, reminding me of a load of different fragrances at once, and yet I can't place a single one. The opening is slightly unnerving, disconcerting and not for me but It literally improved by the second, getting better and better, more complex. I have to wear this again to try to figure it out. Update: so I have worn this again and I have to say the opening is a flouncy, pink blouse of a femme, floral fragrance, I don’t know why I found it so ambiguous first time around? Anyway that gives way to a pretty traditional if very nice sweet, tacky (in the textural sense) warm, modern, amber (I was so tempted to use the ‘O’ word there) it has a mildly burnt caramel note to it. Definitely musks, leading a cleanliness which stops it going all out gourmand or something. This reminds me of the kind of thing worn by a woman of a certain age...perhaps in the 90’s? It’s not dressy or dolled up and could quite easily be an everyday wear sort of perfume, giving the impression of a slightly more glamorous person. To me at least. It’s a little too feminine for me if I’m honest but unquestionably a ‘good’ perfume. Not sure why I found it so enigmatic the first time I tried it but hey.

I get patchouli and I get roses and that's about it. It's reminding me of Scherzo by Miller Harris, which I already have. The patchouli in here smells like oud. I'm not getting any of the other notes, tbh. I'm hoping this may need time on the shelf to macerate. IDk. I really hope so. I love La Fenice Pour Femme, Andalusian Soul, and Rosa Moceniga is nice, but all I get with this is patchouli/rose and with Flamant Rose, all I get is geranium. I'll revisit this in a couple days to see if my nose deciphers any of the other notes. I don't mind patchouli, but I'm not into patchouli dominant fragrances. It belongs in the background, like in Flowerbomb and Coco Mademoiselle. I like that type of patchouli. When I smell the aperture, I definitely get nectarine and it smells light, airy and beautiful. Psst, psst. When I spray me?? PATCHOULI BOMBB!!!! Last fragrance that was a patchouli bomb and utterly disgusting was Vanilla Sugar Royale from Kayali. I actually like patchouli in the base. Some of my favorite fragrances were floral fruitchouli's. I wore Flowerbomb and Coco Mademoiselle almost exclusively for about 10 years. Those were MY signature scent's. I'm just so surprised because I only see one review where someone said the patchouli was strong. Lucky me! I have that skin that just pulls PATCHOULI, and then some.

I've had this in my collection as part of a discovery set and I've honestly always skipped it as I usually don't love flowery-fruity, but boy I was wrong! The point is, this fragrance does smell flowery, but it doesn't evoke in my mind flowers, rather dried, preserved flowers. Flowery, woody, a little dusty and very nostalgic. It's like you are having tea with a lovely old lady and suddenly she stands and reaches in a dusty cabinet. She searches between her beloved trinkets and pulls out a small bouquet of flowers that has been dried with great care. She places it in front of you and tells you the story of how, many years ago, this was the wedding bouquet her husband picked personally for her. You are not sure the smell is in your nose or in your mind, but you are sure you can still perceive it somehow.
