Iris and praline, sweet and bright
Eau de Parfum · Gourmand · 2012Rated 4.5 out of 54.58 reviews

Black currant and pear lead into iris, jasmine and orange blossom, then praline, vanilla and tonka bean with patchouli. Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Olivier Polge composed this sweet amber in 2012. It is long-lasting and made for cold evenings out.

Well made and pleasantly sweet, but too much vanilla for my taste. I can see why so many people adore it.

There is something about this that suits candlelit tables. I wore the 10 ml decant to dinner on a cold November evening and it stayed with me all night, sweet and warm without being heavy-handed. The vanilla wraps around you like a soft scarf, with a little iris underneath keeping it elegant. My date leaned in twice to ask what it was. By the time we said goodnight it was still there on my collar. A small bottle that feels like a big occasion.

Wore a small decant for a week before ordering more. Pear opens it, iris sits softly in the middle, and the praline settles in by evening. It lasts me the whole day. Ideal for autumn.

Je l'ai offert à ma meilleure amie pour son anniversaire et elle ne l'a plus quitté. Elle adore le côté sucré et la vanille bien présente. Pour moi il est un peu trop gourmand, mais pour elle c'est parfait.

Стои на кожата ми цял ден и се усеща отдалеч. Две-три пръсвания са напълно достатъчни, а сладостта е приятна.

Meteen verliefd! Zoet, warm en elegant, met een vanille die echt blijft hangen. Voor mij een absolute topgeur voor de herfst en winter. Geen twijfel mogelijk, deze blijft in mijn collectie.

Посягам към него още щом захладнее. През есента и зимата е истинско удоволствие, сладък и топъл, с онази ванилия, която ме обгръща. Мирише ми на уют и стои цял ден.

Testei uma amostra pequena primeiro. Fiquei rendida e vou comprar mais. Doce, elegante, dura o dia todo.
