My grandmother had this in ’99; I was five and, as the bottle hit me so hard, I took it to school. The teacher confiscated it until the end of the day and handed it personally to my grandmother. I’d love to remember the scent in more detail, but as I said, I was only five.
Hello @mystique, I own both and wore them yesterday. Although they are similar due to their floral-fruit notes and that herbal touch (cilantro in one, basil in the other), they are not the same. This smells fresher, more youthful and summery, whereas Le monde est beau is more spring-floral, with a spicy note and feels more romantic.
Hello @mystique, I have both and used them yesterday. They are similar due to their floral and fruity notes with a herbal touch (coriander in one and basil in the other), but they are not identical. This one smells fresher, more youthful and summery, whereas Le monde est beau is more of a spring floral with a spiced note and feels more romantic.
I was expecting it to be more citrusy and fresh based on the reviews, but it disappointed me. I don’t know if it has changed over time, but it just smells floral to me. It’s super sweet and a bit old-fashioned, like something for an older person. I bought it from the official store so I don’t know if I’m going mad, but it lacks the citrus to resemble Eden, my favourite perfume.
Has anyone tried this perfume and Le monde est beau, as their bottles are identical? Do they smell similar?
I tried this in the 90s and it remains the jewel of Kenzo: delicate, elegant and long-lasting without being overpowering. I absolutely adored it.
I had this in the ’90s and for me it was Kenzo’s best fragrance: delicate, refined and persistent without being intrusive. I loved it.
I bought it second-hand as a gift for my sister. It lasts for days on clothes with a delicate, fresh breeze floral aroma. When she smells it in bursts during the day, she says it evokes an almost angelic aura… and then she needs a second to remember it’s this perfume. A lovely olfactory experience.
I had a miniature at the end of the 90s and loved it. Today, in 2021, I tried an Elvive conditioner and swear it smells exactly the same. I applied it and immediately felt that scent I loved and had completely forgotten.
I had a miniature of it back in the late ’90s. I loved it!! Very delicate and exquisite. Today, in 2021, I tried an Elvive conditioner and, I swear, it has the exact same scent! I applied it and it immediately transported me to a smell I loved and had completely forgotten.
I had it over 20 years ago and found a 15ml vial on Mercado Libre. I remembered it as citrusy and fresh, perfect for summer days, and I wasn’t wrong. The only thing is that now it doesn’t last long, or maybe it’s just me… I don’t know.
I had it some years ago, but I don’t forget its delicate and fresh fragrance, perfect for any day of the year but more enjoyable in spring and summer. I would get it again and without a doubt, I would gift it.
