Comforting bouquet with a little juice
Vive la Mariee opens with a bouquet of sweet but slightly woody jasmines, with its sweetness being the fruity kind. When it settles a little, there's a musky, almost smoky feel to it that seems to whirl around the bouquet.
It just keeps getting more flowery as it progresses, like a florist's shop with a juicy sweetness all the time. No one flower dominates - the general impression is just a jumble of powdery, almost creamy white florals.
The final drydown is similar to how many musks end on me - a light, soft skin scent. It's a pity rose wasn't as prominent in this as I hoped it would be, but I didn't miss it very much because there are already so many other floral notes in the mix.
Overall, I found this to be a very pleasant and comforting scent. It's like something I would want to wear if I was going to sleep, for example. It just makes me feel safe and cuddled, in a way, which is probably only the second perfume so far to make me feel like that (the first being PdR's Rose Kashmirie). Two thumbs up to this for doing that!
This doesn't project well, but you will be able to smell it on yourself. Lasted about 3-4 hours on me.
