Have you worn In Me?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. A tribute to Barcelona with a nod to Dalí; it smells sparkling and bustling. I don’t see it as citrusy, I classify it as a soft spice. It doesn’t smell like anything I’ve used before, which is ideal because I don’t want to smell like everyone else and I’m not a gourmand. For the evening I use Cavalli or Shalimar. After reading your reviews and seeing an offer, I received it yesterday. I define it as sparkling (a very perceptible blend of pepper, grapefruit, and ginger). It has great sillage (it is an EDP) and smells like oneself. Very pleasant and elegant. I was looking for something daily for work with a signature but without overwhelming. My other favourite is Flora Cherrysia (I love cherry blossom) but it’s too expensive for daily wear. With this one I can reapply, although I don’t need to; it cost less than 15 euros for 80ml. The faceted bottle is elegant. I think I found what I was looking for. Thanks for the reviews.

    What a beautiful fragrance! I bought it and I’m already in love, just like with my other Basi scents. In Me was love at first sight; the box has a reference to Barcelona and Gaudí, and when I opened the box a delicate crystal ball came out, I was moved. The scent opens spicy with pepper and ginger, it sneezed me (it always happens to me), I didn’t detect any citrus. Then comes the patchouli with the rose, no jasmine either, they blend with cashmere, sandalwood, and soft iris, resulting in a creamy and clean, beautiful scent. In the end it resembles Cabotine Gold, with a more subtle patchouli but the same essence. The sillage is grand for the first hour, my husband noticed it at 2 metres, then it drops. Good longevity, I sprayed it once on my elbow 4 hours ago and I can still smell it when I move my arm. Update: at 15 hours with a touch, I am still PERCEIVING it on my skin.

    What a beauty! I fell in love the moment I opened it, just like with my other Basi scents. In Me was love at first sight; the box has a nod to Barcelona and Gaudí, and the crystal bottle moved me. It opens with a spicy kick of pepper and ginger (it sneezed me, but that’s my reaction). Then comes patchouli, rose, cashmere, sandalwood, and soft iris, all very creamy and clean. In the end, it reminds me of Cabotine Gold but with a more subtle patchouli. The sillage is powerful for the first hour (my husband noticed it at 2 metres) and then becomes intimate. It lasts a long time: I sprayed it 4 hours ago and it still smells, and at 15 hours with just one touch, I can still detect it on my skin.

  4. A tribute to Barcelona with a nod to Dalí; it smells like a sparkling, bustling city. It’s not citrusy for me, but rather a soft spice, something unique that I adore. For the evening I use Cavalli or Shalimar, but I was looking for something daily with a signature that doesn’t overwhelm. It arrived on offer and is perfect: sparkling due to the blend of pepper, grapefruit, and ginger. Very good sillage (it is an EDP), elegant and with its own presence. I paid less than 15 euros for 80ml and the faceted bottle is elegant. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks to the reviews.

    I am obsessed with this scent; I fell in love with the bottle at El Indio pharmacy in Argentina and without thinking twice I tested it. At first it smells citrusy, spicy, and fruity, but when it dries down it’s floral and clean. I don’t detect the jasmine even though there are two types, and I love it because I’m not a fan. I see it as a daytime scent, fresh but classy, with presence and it’s feminine. It lasts about 5 hours projecting moderately and then close to the skin.

    I hunted for In Me because it is by Nathalie Lorson and I didn’t make a mistake. It’s another gem of the little-talked-about perfumery. Very floral with woody touches. The flowers are the protagonists; on my skin I feel more magnolia combined with jasmine, also ginger. If you want something for yourself and nothing invasive, this is ideal. The bottle is beautiful and the price is correct. In the USA I paid 30 dollars for 80ml. In short, if you like florals, buy

    I fell in love with the bottle in a pharmacy in Argentina and without hesitation I tested it. The opening is citrusy, spicy, and fruity; when it dries down it becomes floral and clean. The jasmine doesn’t dominate (I have two types and I’m not a fan, so I like that). I see it as a daytime scent, fresh but with presence and feminine. It lasts about 5 hours projecting moderately and then close to the skin.

    I hunted for In Me because of Nathalie Lorson’s nose and hit the jackpot; it’s a little-known gem. Very floral with woody notes, where magnolia shines above jasmine and ginger is noticeable. Ideal for personal wear, nothing invasive. The bottle is gorgeous and the price is fair (30 dollars in the USA for 80ml). If you like florals, buy it blind. Low sillage and lasts about 5-6 hours.
