Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Intense fragrance; the opening red pepper note can be excessive (on my skin it’s very marked), but once it dries down, it’s wonderful. The scent is extremely feminine and sophisticated. The projection is beastly, so to avoid offending anyone, I prefer to be cautious; two sprays are more than enough. 8/10.
This scent is simply outstanding, so refined and feminine that smelling it feels like a party. The ingredients smell natural, like peonies with lychee and a soft amber base, velvet-like. It’s not a bomb, but it doesn’t go unnoticed. It defines a delicate, almost ethereal woman; if you get close, you’re captivated by its exquisiteness. It’s not unique, yet it is. There are many synthetic peonies with chemicals out there, but this is a dance of young, romantic flowers in their natural form. It reminds me of Pleasures by Estée Lauder, but on a higher level. It lasts around seven hours on skin with moderate projection. Ideal for daytime or as a signature scent. The only drawback is the price, which is very high given it’s a niche fragrance.
It doesn’t smell bad, nor is it incredible. It’s lychee, peony, and musk. Fresh, feminine, and versatile. However, it’s not a unique scent nor does it have extraordinary longevity (on me it lasts 6–7 hours with low projection) to justify the price.
Soft peony… nothing original, better to go for Chloé Eau de Toilette.
Incredible fragrance, so refined and feminine that smelling it is pure bliss. The ingredients smell natural, like peonies with a touch of lychee and a plush amber base. It’s not a bomb, but it doesn’t go unnoticed. It defines a delicate, ethereal woman who isn’t intrusive, yet if you get close, you’re hooked by its exquisiteness. It’s not unique, yet it is. The market is full of synthetic peonies, but this is a dance of natural, romantic flowers. It reminds me of Pleasures by Estée Lauder, but on a higher level. It lasts around seven hours with moderate projection. Ideal for everyday wear or as a signature scent. The only difficulty is the price; being a niche fragrance, it’s very expensive.
Potent at first, that red pepper note is a bit much for my skin, but once it dries down, it’s pure gold. It smells super feminine and classy. The projection is beastly, so be careful: two sprays are enough not to overwhelm anyone. 8/10.
