As soon as I opened it, it brought back memories of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and even baby colognes; it’s very pleasant, soft and delicate.
I bought this at Discovery just to try it, and they say it reminds people of Byredo’s Gypsy Water. You’re right: the woody, vanilla-infused citrus notes are there, but this is a kinder, sweeter, more feminine version. Like Gypsy Water, it’s fairly linear, with a powdery, creamy touch, perhaps due to the violet. To me, however, it always seemed more ‘yellow’ than ‘violet’. The projection is there, but soft, and the longevity is short, around six hours. It’s a very feminine, tender and cheerful fragrance, perfect for mid-season days or cool evenings when you fancy staying in, curled up with a book or cuddling someone. I don’t see it as better or worse than Gypsy Water, just a different interpretation. Like this one, it’s missing something to convince me to buy it. What a shame, as I really wanted to like it more. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 5/10
It’s a lovely woody aromatic fragrance with a touch of violet in the base. It’s special, transparent, enveloping and pleasant, with a warm, cosy edge. The contrast between wood and cyclamen gives it that masculine-feminine balance I adore.
