Varens Je t'aime

it is very similar to Narciso Rodriguez but patchouli note is more intense. So this one has an earthy vibe, while NR is musky.

Due to its good price, it is an alternative that is reminiscent of NR for her EDT, the result is very similar but it does not have the musky sensation of NR. It is very nice but the duration is short, about 2~3h, although for its price I don't mind reapplying. I've gotten compliments wearing it.

Fresh, fruity musk. Inoffensive, well-blended, feminine and youthful. Perfect in office settings on the warmest of days. I would even say this is suitable for highly-sensitive job environments such as schools or healthcare centres. I don't get any earthy vibes in this, actually no patchouli? To my nose this opens with soapy red berries and citruses (but like 20% citrus, rest is berries). Then settles into a lily, musk. I like a good deal of sweetness in my perfumes, however this is rather refreshing! Personal preference: I prefer other youthful fruit-musk scents such as Atelier Rebul's 'Musc Pivoine', Byredo's 'Mojave Ghost' or Zara's 'Rosy Mousselline'. However this is a great quality scent & so much more enjoyable than other musks.

This one is part of the Varens that appear on rotation on shelves at big Carrefour's markets. Very cheap price, not too bad smelling but it's a faint and sugary copy of Narciso Rodriguez EdT. The musk note is not listed but it's quite dominant, at least in its "modern" musk incarnation, not too far from high-end shelves. Anyway it doesn't last long and it's too sugary sweet for my tastes. The bottle is cute and small, but it shows better on picture. Buy it if you want a lighter and cheaper form of NR and you don't mind differences too much.
