Hello you fragrance lovers and of course also - lovers. It's nice that you're looking back at me here and reading my new Kommi (hopefully nobody will force you?? :D). Today it's about Annick Goutal's "Tenue de Soirée", which means evening dress and therefore sounds somehow sexy. And also elegant, as evening dresses can be, at least if you don't get carried away in the wardrobe like an extravagant celebrity and then appear in the media the next day as a mockery :D
It seems that this fragrance belongs to Annick Goutal's more exclusive range, as it does not come in the typical, grooved and usually yellowish bottle. But that doesn't mean much, because there are good and bad fragrances in all categories.
Be that as it may, I hope for an elegant fragrance, because I combine elegance with evening dress and well, let's see how the fragrance smells!
The fragrance:
The fragrance is quite powdery right at the beginning and smells of iris and light, sweet fruits. The sweet mixed with the iris looks pretty make-up and therefore already looks sexy. In addition, the top note smells like a feminine version of the great Dior men's fragrance "Dior Homme".
It stays that way for a short while, then the indicated patchouli becomes a little more smelly. And although I don't like Patchouli as extreme as I did back then, I think that it goes well with the powdery and sweet notes here, as it also leaves a more mature and elegant impression than just being sweet.
Later, the sweetness is slightly lower, the patchouli slightly stronger, so that the scent is not too earthy and not too sweet, but just well balanced. And that's how it stays until the end.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is good, you can smell it pleasantly without having to get too close to others. The shelf life is also good with over eight hours.
The bottle:
As this fragrance belongs to Annick Goutal's more exclusive range of fragrances, it does not appear in the typical flacons known from Annick Goutal. This one is comparatively simpler, because it is just cylindrical, but shows a nice color gradient from clear to violet. At the neck hangs a golden chain, which ends with the logo of the brand, in addition you can see a fluffy, purple pump ball, which looks quite cuddly soft :)
All in all a beautiful bottle.
Sooo, although this fragrance does not offer many fragrances, I find it nevertheless very successful and beautiful. But fragrances don't have to be very complex to be good perfumes, do they? In addition, this fragrance manages not only to be beautiful, but also sexy and elegant despite the few scents. A fragrance, which in my opinion is totally suitable for the name and also really good for going out or for the evening. And that's for everyone, um... every woman! :))
Hm, I wrote that the fragrance even came across as a female version of Dior Homme. Is it a coincidence that this fragrance here bears the name "evening dress" and Dior Homme from Flakondesign is supposed to symbolize a suit, which can also be worn on evening occasions? Hm...
Anyway, I think this scent is worth testing, as long as you don't get a headache from powdery scents, that should happen! I think others might like the scent and yes,... so I said yes, test it, you might like it!
I'm going to quit for today and we'll probably "see" each other again soon :D
Have a nice evening and see you soon :)
