Aphélie

This is absolutely beautiful, and I am glad I decided to sample it. A friend of mine on here wears this often and said she couldn't get enough of it. That had me curious, so I decided to get a sample of it for free in an order from ministry of Scent. I am usually very picky about green fragrances, but this is the prettiest green fragrance I have ever smelled. I agree with the review below mine This is a beautiful lush humid rose enveloped by velvety green notes. That is a very accurate description of this fragrance. It's just something I can't stop smelling. It leans feminine But I would actually enjoy this on a man as well. I agree with the brand's description of the fragrance. Wearing this you will feel at one with nature. Absolutely stunning. This is what niche perfumery should be, and I am very impressed with this fragrance. I know it's kind of out of season right now to wear the sample, but I can't wait to wear this. I just know I'm going to love wearing it. FB worthy. Bought a FB. Worth the money. A beautiful cottage in England covered with Ivy and an amazing rose garden.

Stunning perfume, balanced with an even performance from opening to dry down. Familiar scent in that you can recognize the rose, but still unique because of the moody, darker direction it takes. I don’t think I’ve smelled anything as captivating as this. The scent takes you, and anyone who catches a whiff of it, on a fantastical journey. The way it triggers the imagination is quite stirring. I am tempted to wear this everyday but I save it for special occasions. Like a beautiful evening dress, coat, or bag that signals your individuality without being too loud and inauthentic. This is timeless, easily a signature scent, gracefully bold. My mother smelled it on me (she is unforgivingly picky when it comes to fragrance—and also the person that got me into fragrance of course) and she immediately said, “you have found your scent and companion”

I love fragrances like this! Deep and complex but not heavy. Multi-season and multi-occasion without being bland. Fresh and rich at the same time. I can't stop smelling my wrist. Alphelie is a green leaning rose that is not powdery or overly floral. There is a syrupy aspect to it, but it's not cloying. The fragrance has a soft, sweet depth from the tonka. The greens and moss doesn't dominate, but complement. All the notes work together in harmony. This scent is very evocative and you can see just how consistent the imagery is in other reviews: ivy covered abandoned houses and churches with unkempt rose gardens. It really does transport you somewhere else. Like others have said, the similarity to Diptyque's L'Ombre Dans L'Eau is there. I like both. This has more longevity though!

I love this! But since I own Luna by Penhaligons I will not buy this one. Luna is like the Watercolor Sister of this saturated rosy and green beauty. If you aren't hard on your self for buying sibling scents, go for it tho. They are still two vwry distinked parfums. But I think it discribed best as Luna being the pastel airy youngster and Aphelie is the mature bruder older woman. She is heavyer, sweeter but also boudier and much much darker. While Luna stays light, rosy and transparent, Aphelie starts to lose her Rose and become resiounes, Insence like. Dabbeling in esotheric practises for a bit. Two very diffrent sisters indeed. But alas I am on a tight buget. For now. Uodate I got a travel vile and i am very happy I did :-)

Imagine distilling the atmosphere of a full moon that is revealing ivy-covered ruins hidden in dense forest and you have this masterpiece. Emphatically yet elegantly green, the ivy and cassis combination is fresh and invigorating, with solid projection and longevity. There are few notes but it still has a depth to it that leaves not one of them redundant. A newly budded rose lingers to the side and the other notes serve as a firm woody base, all blended with sublime composition. A much more refined and captivating L'Ombre Dans L'Eau.
