Mon Evidence

I tested this in a shop, quite eager after seeing the notes. For some reason though, I get no Coco Mademoiselle or Miss Dior from this. To me, Mon Evidence smells like moist, mushy, slightly mouldy bread. I can't possibly understand why. I wanted to like this, since it was created by two perfumers I admire very much, but sadly it is not for me. I hope no one else gets to have the same olfactory experience as I did. However, I must admit that I love the woody cap of the bottle - such an elegant touch! Later edit: Wow, I must've got a bad batch, because I tested this once again in an Yves Rocher shop and this time around it was amazing! Still no Coco Mademoiselle or Miss Dior for me, but overall a really pleasing, non-offensive scent. Rosey vanilla and patchouli emerge beautifully on my skin. The sillage and longevity are okay - nothing to write home about, nor to complain about. I'm so glad I gave this another shot! Final edit: I gave in and bought this - and I am so glad I did! I sprayed this before I went to sleep and the scent was heavenly and even better than what I remembered. On my skin, the rose and vanilla transform into an eerie candy note, which I love. The patchouli is there as well, from start to finish. This perfume is a cosy autumn heaven and a big compliment-getter. And to think that the first time I tested this all I could feel was mouldy bread... What a journey! P.S.: It would be a good idea not to use this when the temperatures outside are above 15 degrees Celsius. I did and the sweetness was overpowering.

First time I tried Mon Evidence, its patcholuli has immediately reminded me of Miss Dior EdP (I didn't have the chance to smell Mon Cherie by the way, so can not make a comparison). As I'm not into sweet patchouli scents, I didn't pay much attention. But after I had left the store, a beautiful rose-strawberry combination brightened with citrus has started to blow my nose. At this point, that berry note -not listed but definitely there-, convinced me that it could be a lighter summer alternative for my beloved Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming. The more I sniff my arm, the more I liked it and went back to store to purchase. Mon Evidence projects in the begining and then settles. It's a well-blended perfume in its price range, but not as long lasting as Absolutely Blooming. As I do not expect a summer scent to last for ages, I don't consider this as a problem. Additional review: I forgot my bottle in my office drawer during the pandemic and it took 1.5 years to come back from online working to workplace again. After two hot summers and a winter, the perfume has turned but in a good way. First seconds are still a bit harsh and synthetic, but rest is fuller, stronger and longer lasting now.

Once a year I would get the itch to update my small collection of fragrances. I wanted something fruity-ish. Prior to Mon Evidence, I found a lot of fruity fragrances to smell synthetic - even the ones from brands on par with Yves Rocher. I was in luck because then I found this. I agree with a number of people on here saying this EDP is similar to Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I think Mon Evidence is sweeter and fresher than Coco Mademoiselle. Firstly, I'd like to say that I love the packaging of Mon Evidence - very simple, very chic. Whenever I use this, I pick up strong whiffs of floral and fruity notes that are calmed by a sugary vanilla note upon drydown. I don't detect any bitterness in the drydown too. I think Mon Evidence is good for all occasions, but leaning towards the formal side because the projection of the scent makes damn sure that other people are aware of your presence (I see what you did there, Yves Rocher). UPDATE: This scent makes my mouth water, this means the fruity notes work so well for me! If this ever gets discontinued, I will be very sad. Officially one of my favourites! <3

The opening of Mon Evidence really reminds me of Miss Dior Cherie. I never had MDC, so this is based on memories of testing it in store 14 years ago, therefore don't expect an exact dupe. I can't really remember the drydown, but I think that was different, this doesn't smell like caramel/popcorn at all. I don't see a lot of resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle, Mon Evidence is much sweeter and not as sharp. And it doesn't smell like anything else from the Evidence line which I usually dislike because of the soapiness. Anyways, I can smell the rose, clean patchouli and mandarin in this, but also a very clear unlisted strawberry note. The drydown is creamy and fresh with vanilla and jasmine and still some hints of the fruity-rosy topnotes and patch. I like to wear this right now in the springtime, but I could imagine that it would work year round. Really pretty and girly, good performance, versatile, what's not to love?

Yves Rocher Mon Evidence – What an intriguingly playful first sniff! On the initial spray, I get a sweet, almost gourmand impression—yummy and cozy—but it fades rather quickly. After about 10 minutes, the scent shifts to a sour citrus brightness. I don’t notice pear directly, but I suspect it adds sparkle to the overall composition. Jasmine is completely absent to my nose, which I’m happy about since I’m not a fan of it standing alone. The rose, however, plays a steady role throughout all stages, soft yet persistent. I can’t judge the sillage properly since I was alone when wearing it, and as for longevity, it’s too early to say—this was my very first wear, and excitement made me less patient. Still, what a fun and delightful fragrance to experience!
