Classy and refined
I must confess it: I never tested before this scent. When I was a little girl, I remember the advertising with the slogan "La femme est une ile" (The woman is an Island) reminding me to an exotic fragrance, maybe made of vanilla, spices or coconut. Well, I sprayed this morning this iconic fragrance from the precious tester I've senn on the drugstore shelf and...what a surprise! I discovered a very classy and refined four-seasons fragrance, as elegant as a string of black pearls : immediately I smelled the galbanum note, made fresher and gentler by the flowery-citrusy acchord ; at the heart, the Jasmine, the carnation and the ylang are well balanced and not too vibrant or heavy, but well harmonized with the notes at the base: moss, amber (neither heavy nor medicinal ) and tree moss.
On my skin it's a symphony of aromatics notes with deep accents balanced by the solos of the top notes.
A sophisticated scent a little bitter to wear as a silk shirt. The sillage is quite good, the bottle simple but elegant and the price medium to high, but right in comparison to the very good quality and the longevity of of this iconic perfume.
So, the woman is an Island to discover....
