The better Armani Diamonds or: the base has torn it out
Through a lively conversation with the dear GirlofNow about our favorite La nuits (hers the classic, mine a la folie) I've taken a closer look at the Caresse once. He was known to me, however, I had him not on the screen.
On the Internet, I was very confused by the color of the bottle. He is advertised as light pink-pink, but in real the liquid is creamy and slightly honey-yellow-powdery. Is this the "Caresse" for sure, I asked myself. But through various comparing and googling I was then sure. Since he has already been discontinued, my hunting instinct was awakened, and I could still get hold of a new bottle at a good price.
When he arrived I was pleased with the pretty bottle, which fits wonderfully to "Nude" and "a la folie". He has the rose ribbon around his neck again, while the other two wear the loop.
At the first spray (I always with my blind purchases, but thank God none went yet so really in the pants) I had to think immediately of "Armani Diamonds" and grimaced. Exactly the same association, both contain lychees and raspberries. Loud, present lychees and raspberries in each of them, I would not have trusted Lancome at all.
I have to say, I've kind of outgrown Diamonds. For me it is suddenly too screechy, somehow modern the raspberries before itself, it is pungent and synthetic, although not tilted. Maybe my nose and scent preferences have just evolved. But since the bottle is pretty and it accompanied me on my rehab from my serious hip surgery, I kind of can't give it away. Sentimental value and all. But I digress.
Thank God we're dealing with a perfume from the house of Lancome, which for me always promise noble and high-quality fragrances. Therefore, "Caresse" also has a beautiful development, and despite the initial mad similarity with "Diamonds" you can smell that it is a perfume from the house of Lancome and the "La Nuit Tresor" series.
The all-known Damascene rose unites in the heart note with the almond blossom, which I like extraordinarily well. I also think I smell a hint of honey, although it's not listed.
The durability is as always with me very good, and still the next morning I smell him still close to the body.
However, I had to test "Caresse" several times to decide whether he may stay or move on. However, the heart and base notes have me mild, especially the beautiful almond blossom, which reminds me a bissche of the Kneipp body oil, which I always put in the bath water when baby bath day is.
You can wear it both in the evening and during the day, but please dose sparingly, because it is also a small headache candidate. On cooler to cold days, it billows around you like a creamy, yellow-gold veil.
I always have to almost get myself to spray it on, and then stubbornly ignore the penetrating top note, it really borders on love-hate. Whereby the love gets stronger every time.
The beautiful Tahitian vanilla and the musk, however, fight a battle with lychee and raspberry until the end. Sometimes one team wins, sometimes the other, but Team Fruit thankfully has its grand and intrusive entrance behind it.
Who knows, maybe I'll give "Diamonds" another chance soon and compare the two directly. But it is already clear to me that "Diamonds" is clearer, sharper, more pungent and much less round-creamy than "Caresse".
Same same but different just
