I have the fall blues. Unfortunately, this always happens to me when the days get darker and it's wet and cold outside. It's the season for sweet, warm fragrances - or so I thought. But the fragrance assistant suggested this perfume to me, "for an afternoon in the fall". Something new, I thought. This fragrance conjures up images of my parents' patio in my mind's eye. The sun is shining, butterflies are flying around. I'm sitting on the swing next to my mom, my head on her shoulder. I breathe in deeply the scent of fresh, sweet roses. Is it her cream? I don't know - she has told me on request that she has never worn this perfume. But I associate it with her. With warmth, with home. I find the rose dominant, sometimes it gives me a headache. But just today, this rose envelops me wonderfully, fresh-floral-soapy-sweet. And surprisingly good for autumn blues.

This fragrance is currently my savior in over 30 degrees heat. Sprayed on, a citrusy-fruity scent refreshes me: a sour, juicy green apple seems to literally squirt its juice over me. A naturally fragrant pear adds a slight sweetness along with a delicate, shy rose. The scent is natural and uncomplicated with a weak sillage. It puts me in a good mood and gives refreshment as well as a neat, clean feeling - exactly what I want in a fragrance when it's over 30 degrees. I'm always wary of pear because it makes me feel sick quickly. But here it's so beautifully woven in and natural that it doesn't bother me at all; on the contrary! In such hot temperatures, I don't place so much importance on a fragrance being strongly perceptible for over 10 hours, but rather I enjoy it when a delicate, refreshing breeze blows around me again and again throughout the day. And that's what Flânerie dans le Verger - Pomme & Poire manages to do: sprayed on in the morning before cycling, it stays on for at least most of the working day (about 6 hours) - after that I have to re-spray. But then I'm already looking forward to that - to my sour, juicy green apple.

This perfume could be my signature scent - but I find it too special to wear every day. The scent is diva-like yet gentle, melancholic yet comfortingly warm. It is the first perfume that completely enchants me from top to base notes, that somehow "embodies" me.
In the opening, I perceive the fruity pomegranate and something slightly "grassy", at the same time the flowers come to it. The orchid becomes stronger and stronger and (as I said) madamy diva-like. However, in my opinion, this still remains in the realm of pleasant and makes the fragrance noble; but with a melancholic touch. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes creamy, with almost Christmas-like ("gingerbread") spices creeping in. They have a very comforting effect on me and soften the melancholy; they embrace me and make me smile. I don't smell violets or mahogany explicitly, but in the overall impression they perhaps contribute, together with the spices and the fruity notes, to the fragrance not becoming too diva-like.
As I mentioned before, the perfume is too special for me to wear every day. Especially on the weekend, on special occasions or in the evening - even on a balmy summer evening at a barbecue - it fits best for me. In very high temperatures, I would not wear it.
The durability is okay, sprayed on in the morning I perceive in the evening still skin something, on the hair and on the clothes longer than on the skin. So it is not an endlessly lasting perfume, but the durability is solid. The sillage is strong immediately after application, but decreases after a few hours.
I think the flacon is just great! It has artistic value to me with its contrasts: the curved body of the bottle versus the angular lid; bright silver versus the shimmering purple perfume. This appealed to me immediately (and besides, I LOVE the color purple/violet!).
My conclusion; A wonderful fruity-sweet yet dark and sophisticated fragrance for special occasions in a wonderful bottle with solid longevity and sillage.

Actually, I don't like gourmands. At least, I thought I didn't. The smell yes usually great and delicious - as a dessert. But do I really want to smell like that?
As of late, my answer to that is YES!!! And in this case, it's raspberries.... and what kind!
At the beginning, something in the top note bothers me; I first suspected a pear (but it's not officially listed). Maybe it's also the tangerine. I do not know, something tickles my nose ... and annoying - or not? Irritated I wait for now - and then it becomes really delicious!
The raspberry I perceive very naturally. I make myself cereal every morning and berries usually belong in there! Raspberries, blackberries, strawberries (I love berries). And because I'm sometimes a bit lazy, the cereal bowl just sits around for a few minutes (or hours).... and smells berry. Just like the perfume! Is here still somewhere my cereal around?!
Sweet is the fragrance in my opinion definitely, also a bit sticky (are berries yes also), but I feel it against expectations not as unpleasant. Moreover, the sweetness is somewhat dimmed, I mean by patchouli or vetiver; in any case by something tart.
A great fragrance progression I can not perceive; however, the fragrance loses some sweetness over time (but still remains sweet enough!).
Sillage is strong, a few sprays and the whole household has what from it.
And the durability... People.... well, i have a sensitive nose, but SERIOUSLY??? I still noticed the scent skin deep after a whopping 36 hours!
Now I'm conflicted... because I don't actually like gourmands....

"Mhmm, what smells there so great after chocolate?? - Oh, that's me!"
I have this inner conversation several times when I wear the fragrance. At the beginning I perceive a strong caramel note, softened by something smoky, tobacco. As it progresses, the chocolate comes through more and makes my mouth water...
In the afternoon I cut my homemade bread, yeast bread with pumpkin seeds in it. At least that's what I SEE - what I SEE is a chocolate cake! Oh, that's me! I am a chocolate cake! And the best: completely without calories, YEAH.
The fragrance holds easily all day, the sillage is also neat (one and a half sprays on the wrist I perceive all day).
A beautiful cuddly scent for winter, cold spring days or for dieting with coffee and cake. Who needs chocolate when he himself is the chocolate!!!
(Haha)
