Comme Une Evidence Revisited (in springtime, with a cameo apple)
Sometimes, a differing concentration just means what it literally stands for - the same fragrance with a varying perfume oil proportion. In this case, the Eau de Toilette version has nothing in common with the 'original' Eau de Parfum and could have been released as a fragrance on its own. It wouldn't have made sense even as a flanker because the main role of the rose was altered to the extent of being unrecognisable.
Whereas the rose in the original was of a patchouli-sweetened and velvety, realistic kind, the rose of the EDT, while still remaining clean, verges on the cosmetically polished, abstract cool version resembling another fragrance of the same house: Comme Une Evidence. It might not be a complete coincidence that they were both created by the same perfumer.
The green Moment de Bonheur lacks all the weight and the distinct sharpness of CUE, almost appearing like its defanged version.
The anticipated promised apple note is more of an alibi, vanishing after the first few seconds; and contrary to the overall impression with the ad and the colours, I find myself in a cosmetics department than a fresh outdoor garden.
With a soft but perceptible projection for around four hours when worn on the upper body, I could imagine the EDT suited for closed environments and in the heat, as well as for someone wishing to be perfumed discreetly, clean and floral in a modern way without being hit by heavy flowers.
