Mirimi

Essence is chic, ladylike, French, but more mainstream fruity sweetness than the Ur Gabrielle.

At first I thought it was beautiful, now the fragrance is too heavy for my nose and almost goes into the fruitiness of e.g. Paradox, or also into the floweriness of J'adore, without an edge.

The radiant, golden-brightness that I like so much in "Gabrielle Chanel (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" is increasingly lost here.
While G. strolls lively through the alleys of Paris, "Gabrielle Chanel Essence | Chanel" sits in a café, somewhat languidly. She is aware of her French classicism, but is a bit of an Instagram influencer - beautiful and teases this Old Money aesthetics trend in a rather unimaginative way.
Everything done right, but lacking charisma and originality.
for me, "Gabrielle Chanel (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" is the more authentically elegant Parisian beauty, with more individual flair, even if the fragrance doesn't come off so well in places.
It has a distinctive aura of its own that I don't find in Essence.

Essence is too fruity, sugary and dull for me.
Unfortunately, quite pretty, but ...Mais non.

Gabrielle has swapped her boucle mini and boxy jacket for a curry yellow linen safari jumpsuit today and is visiting her neighbor Jour. Today she is less elegant, but a little more adventurous.
Off we go into the jungle, or tropical garden, where the flowers are a little more fleshy and erotic, the salty, dry scent of wood wafts over somewhere and the big wide world opens up behind the houses of Paris.
Associations:
Elegant, without being stuffy, noble, round, soft but with a kick and not the typical dull white bloomer.
Somehow the adventure becomes calming and cheerful, as if Gabrielle had returned in the evening after a day of action with the setting sun, with a bit of exoticism and the sea in her soul

I think the fragrance is wonderful. Not a hint of synthetics, everything feels natural and atmospheric. In a pleasant way, it's not maistreamy or modern - it's vintage but not old-fashioned... comforting and uplifting, but unagitated.

On the somewhat desperate search, my signature " for reasons", or because he bitterly evokes the feeling of saudade I try myself through various floral-woody-powdery, also bravely approaching floral-sweet fragrances.

So I came across Lalique de LaliqueEdP, the reviews made me very curious.
Floral, creamy, full, noble, but not intrusive and not sweet, although categorized in floral-sweet. This all made my heart rejoice.
Oriental and vintage... put me in minimal doubt.
Schwupps acquired in frenzy of self-care, I tested immediately.

FirstWiff: Wow and aaaah and beautiful! Good mood in the feminine feminine way and just totally not what you smell everywhere. A slight hint of bubblegum spreads...
And there flickers this memory, the statement I never found again: creamy, very slightly fruity but in the round balsamic way, paired with
Creamy flowers. Like my beloved MCM Blue Paradise at the time.

Yay... should I have found a fragrance that is a real statement, that does not smell mainstream,does not run after itself, but is also not too sneezy exhausting?
And there it happens, creeping... more and more woody in the powdery way, like rough but yet slightly sanded wood plus a warmth. ok, no longer what triggered this heart leap, but nice.
But the fruit and the flowers give way more and more, until I find L de L as an absolutely powdery fragrance. A brief moment still the inkling of the warm round pear fruit flower..
For me he smells , if he then arrives at the base note and lingers longer on my skin in the scent of a compact powder from the 1970s / 80s.
No smoldering through of the jasmine, the fruit, or..
Absolute pudrigkeit m as it goes powdery , minimal woody not.
I'm thinking about whether I keep him.
He is very elegant, very French, very classic, somehow like from a bygone era.
Such a thing smells one ( especially for the price) not every day.
But he is not what I wanted and he unfortunately did not keep the promise of the heart note.

Sometimes I wonder what the perfumers are thinking, one so lead around by the nose, one with the head and heart conquer, the base but for my nose, so to speak not even the hint of the upper pyramid get,
With some fragrances, this works out somewhat... here, however, I fall to the ground.
Maybe I have to wear but also a few times to perceive the intermediate tones even after an hour.
Maybe layern , or a body lotion drunter wear to add the hellfruchtbkumkgcremige still something?

Since today I call a 100ml giantpulle my own!

I am relatively confused. because I find Pépite jumps back and forth in my fragrance perception..
For now, anyway.

Now from the beginning my first impressions:
Already quickly after the first Aufsprühen I think, you I know.
Definitely a lot of diva DNA...but then...a reminder of...
FENDI!
Diva Pépite has definitely in the course strong borrowings from the unfortunately no longer available Fendi ( could bet that in the head is already coriander, allspice or something else peppery astringent).

I find DP bulkier and um
Lengths spicier also thereby partly in the course Chypresquer than the big, older sister.
I smell partly also more soapy clove , which I like less.
Perhaps DP of the spice also reminds of Coco, however, Coco is much creamier and rosier and more saturated.

I compare DP now my Vintage Diva EdP and the Parfum/ Elixir.

And there I must state that Pepite for me first of all does not reach to these two ladies.

Where the UrDiva is golden, balsamic, honey-dew, creamy, dense, sensual and fulminantly feminine, Diva Pépite seems more abrupt, edgier, - simply less ( full) Feminine.

A sister who comes across as louder and more tomboyish.

The strange but that again and again but the balmy diva DNA tries to get out...( I'm just missing the Formulieriungen;)
As if she tames herself
Hey, Pépite, you want to be as sensual and lady as your big sister;)

But then again it becomes spicier

Towards the end then deeper, rounder, especially calmer.
Maybe something irispudriger.
Vanilla I find with effort minimal.

My nose, however, is also just a little overwhelmed..

Ur- Diva is definitely more radiant, finer, rounder, more golden ( and THAT'S what I love about her).

Diva Pépite is for me not more suitable for everyday use, or even lighter, or ' less ' than the for me sublime sister ( as described in English-speaking forums partly).
Diva Pépite has vintage charm and this flanker could definitely be from the same year( decade) as Diva.
Who Coco Chanel times and Fendi hinterhertrauert, which will certainly also find Pépite sympathetic!

Who no Diva vintage calls his own, which should treat themselves ' ne Pulle ( Pépite (cheap over' s net)..



Honey nectar without sweetness-stylish Golden Godess without affectation can only Diva.

Pépite is a great fragrance-

Diva is ( imho) stunningly dreamlike.
For rare, special occasions, I would also apply the more special and outstanding Ur- sister- or is it the mother?.
But Pépite is between all what else came out in 2010s in this society a very stylish exception.

And now...she reminds me again of ..
FENDI
;-D

According to batch ( 0008 rue de Miromesmil) of 2008 ...I hold here a bottle ( a tester) USA, in the hand...( found at my mother)...
Prelude fresh , orange blossom floral lushness, honeysuckle..
and probably tart fresh broom.
Madame R. then goes into a first metallic florality( Rive Gauche/ Calandre- esque..)
And then come this balsamic creaminess with a hint of soap WITHOUT clove..
Is it just me that this scent trail reminds me of the classic Fenjala bath oil/ bubble bath?!
Or is there something linked wrong in my limbic system?

At some point the scent becomes deeper, more lush, more golden, warmer...more balsamic....
Could it be that in the mid to late
Direction base note Madame Rochas reminds of the Cléa of Yves Rocker, or even the original Chloé??
I am curious if there are opinions on this.
After about 1-1.5 hrs calls the madame again I'm a Chypre and so she is right, because
after the buttery powdery balsamic (I have to think of powdered sugar, which melts on too warm buttery vanilla crescent - not because of the Zuckrigkeit, but because the congestion sugar powder melts with cremigkeit...) it is more tart, woody, edgier.
Chypreiger.. Also away from the Urfeminine to the cooler, clear green Chypre.
I've rarely experienced anything like this.
This fragrance does not seem to be vintage according to batch u address, but is really phenomenally classic, traditional and absolutely vintage without being old-fashioned..
And just means the Madame on my wrist again unchypriger once again in the baldamisch creamy back snuggle.
Wow... refined surprising woman !
