Comme Une Evidence L'Eau de Parfum

This one is really stunning ! Intensive and long lastning chypre beauty built on velvety rich base . Scent like this You want smell on and on again . Not to sweet , not to green , just perfect . I Love the line Comme Une... And I think this edition is one of the most beautiful

Im not sure which version of l’eau i have, i think its this one, bc the box says bergamot and i bought it last year but just unboxed it today, (i save purchases and give them to myself a year later as a gift:) and this says it came out in 2017. I think there is another l’eau by annick mennardo that came out in 2003, where the fragrantica photo of the bottle for the 2003 version looks like the one i have, BUT the notes on the box match the description for this one, the 2017 version. My box also says nothing about violet leaf. I think a lot of people are putting their recent review of this one (the 2017 release) on the fragrantica page for the 2003 version but who knows? There are so many versions and bottles and releases all having extremely similar names which is just so confusing and frustrating. I love you YR, i love your fragrances, i love your prices, i love your promos and products, but i just wish you could streamline your collections a bit more so i can trust reviews, and give accurate reviews myself for your great products. I think the confusion of all of the very similar sounding releases is detrimental to the YR brand, and ends up muddying the reviews of each separate release. Please consider a simplified mon evidence line! End rant. This is definitely very chypre, very french, very european feeling. I dont know if chypre is my favorite but i do really like this. I think it is very versatile and wearableIt is a very vintage style but yet somehow made current and relevant. It does sort of have a soapy-pink soap- church lady vibe but not in a bad way! I kinda like that vibe sometimes and i am planning to attend mass today anyway so it works out! I think the scent pyramid is very good at demonstrating the complexity of this, it has a liitle of everything! I definitely get bergamot rose and patchouli, and i love all three of these accords. I think sometimes chypre type fragrances are just too much for me, but this i feel is wearable and you will stand out simply bc it is different. It feels springy-summery, clean, innocent yet sophisticated in a weird way. I tend to like rose with citrus a lot so that works for me.

I currently have this as a small bottle. But I first got it in 2007 or 2008: a fragrance sample on paper in the catalogue blew my mind and then I ordered a deodorant. This was the moment I realised I like "female" fragrances and fragrances in general. It was and is very good rose-based scent. The current version is probably the same but I don't have such good memory to assure this or compare the differences. I have used this over the years. It's a good scent overall. Having used it a lot in the past, I also use it to mix it with others that I don't like that much to see if anything interesting happens (it does!).

I've got this perfume as a free gift from my other purchase. I love this perfume. It's a beautiful soapy clean floral scent. It reminds me of my mom and her vintage pink soap; which is very comforting. The scent is not flat nor has cheap rose that you may find from other cheap fragrances. Some notes in here may be associated with "old grandma" but is balanced with fresh youthful bergamot and other contrasts. I would say that it's easy to be someone everyday signature scent because of how inoffensive and simple yet beautiful it is.

Received a complimentary miniature with an order. Screechy and soapy. Never got why this range is one of YR's top sellers. The original version is better though.
