Spontaneous pencil associations
This fragrance is unfortunately a small fail for me and that's a real shame, because I was really looking forward to it.
I was looking for a new autumn fragrance, something that is cuddly and warm.
A recommendation came from soki London, through which I have already discovered Trésor Midnight Rose for me and landed an absolute hit. Also with this one, the reviews were extremely good. When I read on fragrantica that this perfume was like a warm hug in a bottle, I was hooked, I had to have it. The fantastic price has then made the lid on it, I ordered it blindly and today I held full of anticipation my package in hand.
The packaging I like well, even if I miss the sweet bow in the 30ml bottle. Also the sprayer is good.
But to the fragrance: excited I sprayed me so something on the back of my hand. Sniffed again and again dran and thought: it smells metallic.... somehow after pencil on paper ?? it also has something slightly pungent, which lasts with me unfortunately quite long.
So fresh and fruity in the opening I found him unfortunately already times not. It also gave me more and more the feeling that the fragrance seemed vaguely familiar to me, but I did not come first drauf, what it was.
Now, after I have racked my brain for a few hours, I realize that the fragrance reminds me strongly of Emporio Armani Lei.
This I had when he came out once got as a gift and that is extremely long ago, but still I can remember very well this fragrance and also that I never really warmed up with him.
Mademoiselle Couture reminds me strongly of Lei and my research showed me to my astonishment (am not a fragrance professional ?) that the two actually have some notes in common.
I don't know if it's the pink pepper or the pear, the lily of the valley or heliotrope, but something about this scent is so pungent and even downright penetrating for me that I just can't get comfortable with it. These are all actually scents that I was convinced I would like, but I had the same unpleasant feeling with Gemma di Paradiso by Cavalli, so I'm starting to think maybe it's the pear??? Gemma di Paradiso and Mademoiselle Couture are both said in the perfume forums to be reminiscent of Carolina Herrera Good Girl...If Good Girl smells like that, then I can probably rule that one out for myself too?
But I digress! What I have to mention positively is that Mademoiselle Couture becomes much nicer and warmer in the dry down. Here I perceive very strongly the musk note.
In addition, the fragrance also lasts really quite well and it is really affordable to get. I feel him but unfortunately contrary to its name also not at all as a fragrance for young women, but actually he smells for me rather like a madame.
He remains he with me very long in this slightly metallic, leaden, yes also masculine seeming opening and conveys me also in drydown unfortunately not the sought-after warmth and the "warm hug in a bottle", which tempted me to buy.
In fact, this review is also a kind of first impression... Perhaps I must also first warm up with the Mademoiselle.
