Crème Exquis

Vivamor Parfums Creme Exquis is a dry mostly-gourmand blend that’s sweet with some sharp accents and restrained but dense, including a diverse note list that I would distill down to a mix of iris, coffee, black cherry, caramel, oak, and cinnamon, with the iris acting as the main counterpoint the sweeter gourmand entourage. It leans a little darker, a bit mysterious and multifaceted, likely an easier option for me in the cool weather or nighttime in particular, and is definitely one of my favorite few of the line so far along with Cherry Prive and Addiction Absolu. It’s a really pleasing entry that offers the perks of a gourmand while not being too over the top, and I’m liking what I’m seeing from this collection so far, less that halfway through Like the rest of the line, Creme Exquis is priced at $155 for 100ml in extrait concentration, a very reasonable deal from the perspective of quality, uniqueness, and performance with respect to volume, and it’s sold via the house site as well as Perfumology. 8 out of 10

I wore this 4x to make sure I understood it before writing my review. Creme Exquis is unlike anything I have ever smelled before, and I like it. While it doesn't smell the same, it is the same experience to me as Chergui. I.e., it is a spicy amber-gourmand for special occasions. I especially like the silage. I agree with reviewers below that this is comfortably unisex. This is one of the few compositions from this house that I can wear (as a woman). It's just plain interesting to me and I'm drawn to it at the end of the day when I want to switch off my work mind and head out for the evening. There is a very soft amber quality to this that makes it work. I recommend it to anyone.

I’ve owned Vivamor Crème Exquis for a couple of months now and feel I’ve worn it enough to review it. For me this opens with dark cherry, chocolate and a small amount of orange. They are blended together very well. Iris is there and leans slightly feminine but this is 100% unisex, once dried down there is the choc with some salted caramel notes, honey, vanilla, and the oak/woodiness. The coffee note is not an Italian espresso it’s a soft latte/milky coffee note. It’s a sweet, gourmand with a woody base that has Iris floating around. Sillage is brilliant and this easily lasts between 8-10 hours on my skin and days on clothing. I picked this up for a bargain of £35 second hand. Would I pay full price, no. But for the £35 it was definitely worth it. Perfect for colder weather and evenings.

This is my personal fave from the house. 4 others that come close but this one was my first "I have to get a full bottle" from the discovery kit haha. Slight chocolate nuances with a very little freshness and aromatic feel. It does remind me of something but can't seem to place it🤔🤔 Edit* This reminds me of Armani Prive Cuir Zerzura. Had it a few months now and yh a stronger similar frag to the Armani Prive.

This turned boozy on me, almost like a really high ABV wine. Like you're eating dark chocolate and drinking wine overlooking a garden. Man... The deep dry down is exquisite! This is going on my want list. I'm not sure if I want a full bottle yet, or just a larger decant.
