Lolalibertin

As far as i remember i didn´t find Boucheron fragrances to be really my taste. This one is a bit different. This one a Dior´s "Addict" with a lemon twist. I really like how "Addict" smells, but somehow i can´t use it, it blocks my nose and i can´t breath. "Trouble" is a different story: when sniffed from the lid i have got an instant reference to "Addict", so i was a bit disappointed. BUT the first spray really surprised me: nothing of "Addict" at all on my skin, only fresh and zesty lemon and musk at the same time!!! "So strange " - i thought... It wasn´t unpleasant at all, just a bit strange, since i didn´t expect that based on the name and bottle, i expected some rich and deep fragrance. THEN after 15-20 minutes it began slowly to turn into something that "Addict" smells like. Musky vanilla. But still with a fresh twist of jasmine. Very nice combination! It made me feel like a million-dollar-lady but without being snob. Somehow i suspect that men would really like it.
Best to be used during late autumn and winter time.
I can´t say i really love it, just like it very much but i will keep it definetly for some special occasions on winter days.
SO, if you find "Addict" overpowering or too much powdery vanilla-ish, then you should try "Trouble". It might be more wearable for you then.
Lasting power is quite good, but sillage must be better while you´re outside and it is windy or frosty. Not really suitable for a rainy or hot humid weather in my opinion...

Finally got my hands on a bottle of this fragrance and upon the first spray i instantly got a vintage Dior´s Dune in esprit de parfum!! I was shocked how similar they are, i actually had to get my Dune and make a side by side comparison. They are truly very very close. I really enjoy it but then at the later stage, the drydown is becoming reminiscent of Armani Mania with the black cap (the original), cause i strangely smell that note of saffron in here on the drydown. I do not like that note in Mania, so here it bothers me as well. It stays quite linear and basically has 2 stages on my skin: a Dune and Mania. Lasting power is quite good (10+hrs one spray) and sillage is on the stronger side, but because it has that weird note that i do not like on the drydown, then i do not care for it that much. Luckily there is someone who likes it more than me, so the bottle will have a new loving owner. I am confused by the name and what it should reflect, but the bottle is a stunner!

It is indeed sweet and fruity, and has a light oriental vibe, but still not fully oriental to my nose. Very interesting composition. Might be cloying if sprayed on the skin with wrong chemitry. But i have found an ultimate twin to this one: "Bogner woman III" (discontinued and hard to get). Bogner smells even more intense and more fruity, it lacks that tonka-raspberry combination, that might be unpleasant to someone. Back to Accenti: still great Gucci from 90´s with great sillage and lasting power.

Upon sniffing it from the bottle i got an overload of dirtiest patchouli so i waited quite a long time until i finally decided to try it on my skin. You see back in the days, when it just came out i sniffed it also from the bottle and it i remember it smelled nothing like strong patchouli to me, so i was confused.
Well, i have sprayed it and indeed upon the opening the only thing i can smell is a strong mix of rose and patchouli. Nothing else, since those two notes overpowering everything else. Glad the this awful opening fades away quite quickly. The opening part is like a stage of the cabaret, with a low light, old stage, sofas which haven´t been cleaned for a long time and have inherited all the smells of the customers. Where is the chypre, everyone is talking about???
Then after a short blast of glitter in the opening it becomes a quiet chypre indeed with patchouli undertone. Funny, that when i smell it from my skin, all i can smell is a strong black tea, but still i feel a cloud of patchouli surrounding me. It smells indeed like a behind-the-curtains space, where all the wood decorations are stored, freshly sawed wood maybe and a hint of painted surfaces. The dancers who have finished their act have brought a bit of smell from the other part of the stage in front of the curtains, so rose and patchouli are still here.
In general i agree that this is a chemical mix of the notes, but somehow the undertone notes make me want to sniff my skin all the time, i wish that the patchouli notes weren´t that strong here. They give a bit of dis-balance to the composition.

This perfume has 2 sides: one is heavy patchouli-rose and other one is incense-peony. I am still trying to figure it out if it will become a choir on my skin or a bunch of notes screaming in dissonance together. But one thing is for sure - I am intrigued and it would be great scent for fall! This perfume has a very delicate composition, but just ruined by it´s opening. One of those rare perfumes, which smell very vintage (no powder here!) but made after 2000´s.

This one used to be in my "dislike" list. I always admired the original, it was a signature of someone who was very dear to me and every time i smell it, i always think of her. She didn´t like this one as much as the original and neither did i. But the thing is i can´t wear Addict EDP myself, since it instantly blocks my nose and i become anosmic. With this version it is different story. Just one tiny spray and the beast is out! But this is a softer beast, yet still a beast, originally known as "Dior addict"! This is a flanker that smells like the original, yet more suitable for summertime and springtime, while the original is strictly wintertime for me. I loooove how the notes are combined in here, mr. Wasser - you make some really good blends! It is still very sexy and seductive, yet is more playful. It opens bright and even very much citrusy, yet every step of the way it is still the Addict i know and love. I do like it all the way until the very drydown, which is indeed delicate and airy, but not as suffocating for me as the original. I do not get my nose blocked with this one, hurray!!! So i can easily wear it myself.

Great lasting power and amazing projection!
Just perfect, nothing more, nothing less!!

P.S. I am also a proud owner of a 100mls of original formula in a tester bottle with a twist cap and there are notes listed on the tester. SURPRISINGLY NO VANILLA IS LISTED!!!
So just in case here is a list of notes from tester bottle:

Bergamot
Jasmine petals
Mandarin tree leaf
Gardenia
Queen of the night (no idea what it is)
Bulgarian rose
Tuberose
Mysore sandalwood
White musk

THATS IT!
No extra oranges or mandarines or never a vanilla!!!!!
Im puzzled now .
