I'll remember this perfume as a cool option that can compete with Elie Saab Le Parfum, especially the first version from 2011. Estee Lauder's Muse is also very close to this fresh jasmine scent of Elie 🌸
How can you fill pyramids like this, dear creators? The main star, freesia, is simply missing! It's exactly what gives this perfume that delicate poignancy. I used to disdain such popular fragrances, looking for something more niche, but then I stumbled upon a sample of 2 L'Eau and... I don't know, maybe it's a crisis or I just returned to my childhood. But how much I miss that carefree time of the early 2010s. I remembered why I loved Addict Eau Fresh, Forever Ever Dior, Miracle by Lancome, Lacoste Pour Femme, and even L'Eau par Kenzo Ice pour Femme. All because of that beautifully and piercingly sounding note of freesia. I want more
What a wonderful floral-milky fragrance for cool days! It really warms the soul, but without being overwhelming. Jour is like a light kiss that reminds me of Good Girl Gone Bad Extreme by Kilian, but with a softer and closer-to-the-skin scent. Simply super!!!
Recently I stumbled upon an interesting fragrance and thought for a long time whether to get a full bottle. Tuberose here is the main note, and that was stressful. While I was thinking, they disappeared from Russia. Even if they hadn't, it wasn't worth that kind of money. But yesterday at "Smile of the Rainbow" I caught a familiar scent. Oh yes, it's the Extreme, just without the annoying tuberose. Instead, a delicate apricot with skin in almond milk - exactly what I was looking for. A harmonious, albeit a bit monotonous version. In the end, I bought Galerie d Aromes JOUR by Art Parfum for less than 500 rubles
How long I pondered whether I should buy it when it first appeared. In the end, I didn't dare. Although it was already clear then that Orchid would become a true star in the world of perfumery, my dislike for those around me prevented me from wearing it. Keep it in a dark closet? No, that's not for me, I'm not a collector and I don't deal with decants. But now I'm simply over the moon with happiness, because I finally got Tartufo from Brocard! This is exactly the version of Black Orchid I would gladly buy from Tom Ford if he had it
The fragrance pyramid is incorrect! Top notes: mint, rhubarb, lemon, and bergamot. Heart: clove, jasmine, fennel, celery, and green tea. And base: oakmoss, caraway, musk, and amber. In times of sanctions, when the original Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is hard to get, Askania really did a great job! For a price under 500 rubles. What else can you expect for that kind of money? Maybe a body splash, but not an eau de cologne. And certainly not an eau de toilette or eau de parfum. I've been pouring it on myself all summer, taking breaks for Brocard's Gerbariy on the hottest days. Askania's green tea is a bit warm, with a spoonful of sugar. And Brocard's Gerbariy is green tea with cucumber and ice 😔
The fragrance called Wild Fig and Blackcurrant actually doesn't contain these notes in its pyramid. Honestly, the site editors should have been more attentive. In the top notes, you can catch grass, blackcurrant leaves, cherry, and fig. The heart of the fragrance consists of pine, hyacinth, cyclamen, and jasmine. And in the base - cedar, musk, amber, and patchouli. The fig direction, of course, is quite peculiar, and it's worth trying on the skin. This fig seems a bit unripe, as if in dewdrops, unlike the riper Nicolai Fig Tea. Their time is hot summer, when all facets of the fragrance unfold. But, alas, this feeling fades, just like summer days

Update: Surprisingly, its trace remained on my t-shirt in the morning! For 500 rubles, it's not at all non-lasting. On clothes, the peach note in milk sounds simply magnificent, but on the skin, it tu...
It seems there's some similarity here with Diorissimo by Dior, although that one has lily of the valley. But unfortunately, I can't wear this Brocard fragrance, while the Dior floral suits me perfectl...
