Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
A beautiful fragrance, vanilla, aromatic and with that powdery touch that is enchanting. You can tell the ingredients are first-class. I’ve tried two perfumes from this house and, honestly, the performance is top-notch.
Of course, the scent changes from the moment you apply it until it settles on the skin. I don’t usually look for this type of perfume, but with the cold weather, it was its moment. In the middle of its evolution, it smells a bit like Coco Mademoiselle. I’m not enamoured by the top notes, but my favourite part is the dry-down, which is very powdery and woody.
What a lovely scent; this perfume definitely evolves. At first, it smells citrusy, clean but with a sweetness, then it becomes more powdery, and finally dries down to a sweet, woody finish. It smells almost identical to Mon Guerlain, which is undoubtedly a fine aromatic feminine fragrance.
I tried it on a tester today; it seems very well-balanced, with the sandalwood really standing out. I knew it was similar to a perfume I wanted but couldn’t recall which one it was, Mon Guerlain. The truth is, I’ve never tried that one, but the ingredients feel high quality. Even though the sandalwood isn’t overpowering, I barely detect the florals on my skin. I’ll come back to edit regarding the longevity and the rest of the development.
A feminine unisex perfume that smells very similar to the Mon Guerlain EDT. However, in this HC2, I smell much more of the benzoin than in the original, making it even more unisex. Perfumería handles dupes at a very affordable price and uses ingredients of very good quality; compared to versions from Frakché or others, the Perfumería one feels much better blended and less acidic. Given the price, the customisation and the quality, I believe it is a true investment to buy one of their perfumes, whether custom-made or from the house.
I adore oriental scents, so this one was a hit for me; it’s soft and sweet. You can detect the sandalwood, resins and floral touches. I use it to sleep and it relaxes me considerably, I think it’s because of the lavender, which is one of my favourite notes. I recommend it; it’s very accessible, comes in 120ml, and besides, we support our Mexican perfumers as it is a creation by the Perfumería house.
