I also like your videos. It is different and it is definitely needed in this community. Thank you.
Thank you!
"...for people who don't have enough iris fragrances..." HAHA! That would not be me, yet I want to smell this so badly. I watched Persolaise talk about this one and he liked it, (he had a brand new bottle) then I went madly looking for where a sample could be had. Nowhere. I wonder if Nordstrom, who does carry this line, will have it? Too much clove is a no for me already, however. We will see! oxJulia
The clove is so overpowering to my nose.
Yay! I've been waiting for your video.
Thank you for saying that☺️
I haven't tested it myself, but based on your description I'd say that with Heaven Can Wait perhaps the answer is in its name: you have to go through the top notes (ie the cloves) and wait for the heavenly sweet and peachy notes to magically appear in the dry down 😊
I can wait through a challenging opening, but a whole hour! For a drydown that still isn't that incredible! Hm....
I've been hearing mixed reviews about this scent but I will give it a try once the local retailer stocks it.
I definitely agree with you on strongly identical scents can degrade my own perception of the value of the perfume especially if it's expensive. I think this happens mostly with people who dive deep into niche/ luxury/ artisanal without exploring classics/ designers first. I still remember my feelings when I smell Hermes Bel Ami for the first time and wondering why my costly bottle of Puredistance M is so similar
Aha, never tried Puredistance M. But I have a mini of Bel Ami. Can see why someone would try to copy it or at least be inspired by it!
I haven't tried it and I haven't tried anything from Electimuss but I hear pretty good things about the house. I own Ani and sometimes struggle with it too. It's intense! Love hearing your thoughts. I'll be visiting my son in Tallinn, Estonia over December and can't wait to see what they have. ,
I think Electimuss is a good first step into niche! They are higher quality than designers but are still pretty close. They smell GOOD, but are not always so interesting.
Just went to spray Ani and Imperium (I recently got a decant of that) on test strips and I do have to say there is a similarity! I don't remember what Aventus smells like, though. I wore Imperium today and I knew it smelled similar to something I already had, so thanks for clarifying that. 😄 It smelled so good on me and the sillage was amazing everywhere I went. Plus, I didn't get that overpowering feeling I get when I wear Ani, or the sometimes medicinal-smelling part of Ani that I attribute to the ginger.
Thank you for commenting. Interesting. Then Electimuss is really contributing to the market by making something more wearable than Ani.
The Frédéric Malle that I own are Superstitious, Une Fleur de Cassie and Le Parfum de Thérèse. I find Superstitious is a nod to many vintage chypres, the rose facet reminding me of Coriandre as there is also an aromatic component but then there is a clear reference to Bandit. People have made comparisons to aldehydic florals like Arpège but I think unless they've sampled a wide array of aldehydic perfumes, they tend to be quite blinded by aldehydes and jump to the nearest aldehydic reference in memory. As for Une Fleur de Cassie, that's a must have for me simply because nothing else honours the flower on the market. I have the absolute and it is close to mimosa but with a slight rancid, animalic facet and maybe more fruitiness. Finally, Le Parfum de Thérèse because it's probably the best preserved Roudnitska creation, apart from Cristalle (many people don't realise it was Henri Robert collaborating with Roudnitska). Heaven Can Wait was disappointing. I have no problem with clove but the note was too literal and not done in a seamless way. I felt the materials didn't coalesce to create a unique signature.
Thank you for this comment. Need to go and try Le Parfum de Thérèse! I tried the new Cristalle the other day and didn't find it intriguing at all. Was happy about not wanting it, haha.
I believe this is a release for people who love vintage carnation/clove fragrances. Think l’heure blue and Lui from Guerlain or Poivre from Caron. I love it ❤
Yes, probably!
As a note I’m both a fan and also terrified of cloves because they are so pungent and when done wrong can ruin a perfume for me. Same with anise. I have been coming around to these in this past year.
Are there any spicy scents you like that have good lingering power? Lately I’ve been craving spicy and fresh.
Chypre Palatin from MDCI has great lasting power. It is spicy but I may not describe it as fresh perhaps. It has aldehydes. lavender and clementine in the top and galbanum and I think it is beautiful! This one has it all. One of my favorite perfumes. Also recommend Unda Maris 8 from Filipo Sorcinelli. Really interesting notes! And the wearing experience is so satisfying!
All I really got was cloves with the new frederic malle. It was really weak for me. I think it's ok, I'm just worried it will remind me of clove cigarettes
I like this perfume. It lingers very delicately after awhile. Very sexy on women. The more I wear it the more I crave it. It’s gorgeous!
Good luck with getting a great job. Don’t worry about judgement. New job is hard for everyone. It’s normal. Wine 🍷 helps after an interview 😊
I might appreciate it more on someone else.
On mee, Heaven can Wait 4h and GONE 😢😢😢
It is sort of fading on me, too. It has been four hours now and it is VERY quiet.
It has 0 staying power.
