Oh, the chypres ! Earthy and green ? Yes. Musty ? Yes, you're absolutely right. Classy, expensive smelling ? You said it. It takes time to get used to the chypres. Yes, some are easy to wear, others are really witchy. I hope you find the one that suits you.
+Marian Stoica Witchy! hehe I love it. Yes they are difficult to get used to for sure. I have a few more in my arsenal that I'm trying out so, I reckon I can be converted fully. (Not the classic ones though, they are a bit scary).
I love this one, and have received compliments when wearing it. To me it is in the same range as Portrait of a Lady, but much smoother and more inviting. (POL is a sooooo loud.) The first Agent Provocateur is similar to Eau du Soir, but way more affordable imho. Thanks for your great reviews.
A women came into my work today and I had to ask her what she was wearing. It smelled intoxicating and this was it. Not usually my style at all but I couldn't believe how classy and expensive it smelt! Surprised how much I like it:)
I'm glad you like my signature parfum. If I may give a tip? get hold of some of the cards used for testing perfumes and spray some of this gorgeous parfum onto the cards and stick in your underwear drawers for some old fashioned glamour! BTW I've had women and guys approach me to ask what parfum I'm wearing!! DO buy "Eau De Parfum" as it's much stronger and lasts longer than the 'toilette' which is VERY watered down! current costs around £120 for 100 ml
It's a lovely one. I got some for a friend for her wedding vow renewal and gosh..I could smell her all over the place. This is such a lovely modern chypre. :)
The more you talk, the more I want this fragrance. 🎉 And you answered my question about what "chypre" is. It's all the perfumes in my top third of my organizer. They go with each other, but not with the others. They don't play well with the more modern fragrances. Lol. Definitely oldies.
I absolutely love your reviews. You're well informed, enthusiastic, and authentic. Made a fan out of me right away. Have you tried Sisley's "Soir D'Orient"? WOW! The pepper, Turkish rose, incense... It's smoky, mysterious, and seductive. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Wow thanks so much!!! I just try to be as enthusastic on camera as I am alll the time. haha. Sisley...whoa no I haven't. I have reviewed the original Soir and it's amazing. I need to smell this one now.
Never write off a whole category, that's so true! I too have difficulties coping with chypre in classic style, but Eau du Soir and Soir de Lune are among the exceptions. Walking in the forest with heels, you mean like in Jurassic World ? :P Just kidding, that's a very apt description for this fragrance! :D By the way, I recently tried Chypre Mousse by Oriza L.Legrand. Not a 'grand dame' like the Sisley's, but kind of a whimsical forest, very interesting! :D
+StellaDiverFlynn Oooh THAT'S the one!!!! Oh gosh I was thinking about a perfume I had read about a while ago that sounded truly bizarre and wonderful. THAT'S the one..you've reminded me. Where did you try this perfume? I have never seen it before. It's the one with the mushroom in it right? I like the sound of a whimsical forest! I would love to try that one out and review it. :)
+ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Yes, I believe that's the mushroom one! ^o^ I also get quite some fennel in it. But it smells good! (☆_☆) I bought a sample set from their website, which is of good value. I'm only starting to explore this line, the other one I tried being Horizon, which is a lovely cacao + patchouli. I'm now looking forward to trying the others. :D
+StellaDiverFlynn They are definitely an interesting company, cool designs and fragrances that sound very different. I should look into getting some sampies!! :)
+StellaDiverFlynn How strange that I should just the other day be sent a bunch of random samples and there was one from this company in there! It's not the mushroom one but it's one called "Horizon" have you tried it? I haven't yet but will eventually. :)
Eau du Soir reminds me of Paris and I love it! It smells like a woman , sophisticated but fresh, very classy and like the freshness of early mornings in the spring. I also love Eau de Sisley 3.
Hi OUCH, este perfume fue la firma de mi madre ,por muchos años, desde el año 1993, que se lo compre en un viaje a europa, es una fragancia elegante, glamoroso, fina, mi madre fallecio hace 4 años , y cada que quiero recordarla la uso, y me enanta, buena reseña. SALUDOS.
¡Hola! Oh wow. Lamento escuchar acerca de tu madre, pero. Ella seguramente tenía muy buenas elecciones en perfumes. ¡Este perfume es tan elegante y elegante! Espero que tengas algo para que puedas olerlo y recordarte a tu madre. :)
It's so stunning and daring, I personally feel like this fragrance would be challenging for a lot of people BUT! Once you get to know it? (I bought this perfume for my friend for her wedding) and wow, I could smell her everywhere, she smelled like meadow flowers and greenery florist shop.
Oh what a relief, I like to hear that it's not a vintage smelling chypre. I ordered it as well as Soir de Lune. 😬 I'm scared. I'm brimming with a combination of fear and excitement.
I don't like chypre's either. I just got this one and it's ok. I pretty much can't make Shalimar work. I love the music mostly because I love Christmas lol.
wonderful review, little buddy! i too find the sissleys to be lacking in the performance department. and not just the women's scents. their only dedicated masculine offering, eau d'ikar, sucks performance-wise: no projection whatsoever, and 2 hours of longevity max. and that's for 100 bucks for 50 mil. hell to the no
Thanks! I need to try more of theirs really. See, I got this as a gift for a friend for her wedding and I could smell her very strongly all night when she wore it that day. So...I just don't know. It's a GREAT smell though. :)
A great review, as always :) Would you care to review Thierry Mugler Innocent edp, Dior Poison edt or Prada Infusion d'Iris edp at some point in the future? They're my absolute favourites, especially Innocent :)
+marisa kirei Thanks Marisa. I'd love to review them but at the moment I do not own any of them..or have samples. :( booooooo. I get asked about Poison all the time ya know. I'm just not really a fan of it so..I don't really go out of my way to seek out samples however...I'll do my best!! :)
mmmm... I'm going to ask you a stupid qustion mate what is a chypres? I never smelled that before or maybe i did & i didn't know it was chypres... any designer fragrances that carry that note... now i'm curious to know what it smells like mate....
+John Bernard Ho John how are you? A Chypre, is a particular type of fragrance based on the notes it contains. It's a particular type of fragrance like a ...fougere, or an oriental. There are many but they are typically categorized by a few notes. Oakmoss being the main one, with Labdanum in the mix (which is actually very gorgeous and gives an ambery dark feel to a perfume), and a citrus top note. They are usually very green, and musty (the one's you smell from the 70's and 80's especially). They smell kinda dry and green and like I said...a bit musty. Have you ever smelled Mitsouko by Guerlain? That's a classic example of one. They're not my style but...now lots of companies are bending the Chypre formula and making some gorgeous compositions. Get your nose on one and see what I mean. Smell Mitsouko, also Chanel 19. :)
Thank you so much mate for taking the time yo answer my question . I do appreciate it. I will definitely go down to mall and try those fragrances out ....your absolutely brilliant .

This one is a veritable forest of a scent, so beautiful! I would like to own it but not sure it would suit me.

I am going to have to test this, I love the smell of spruce or pine!
Is only perfume i use, since came out , i try others, but this is my favourite 💥💥💥💥💥
Good choice!
I love a good Chypre so this "Evening Water" is now on my must check it out. Well done ...
+Lanier Smith Do check it out. It has this lovely finesse, but it's quite bad ass too I think. A bit daring. :)
You know me, I love a daring perfume!
:)
Yay! I love Lanier because he likes Floris. He knows class!

Eau du Soir reminds me of Paris and I love it! It smells like a woman , sophisticated but fresh, very classy and like the freshness of early mornings in the spring. I also love Eau de Sisley 3.
🧡💜❤️ Yes, this fragrance also reminds me of Paris. It’s gorgeous. Will always be in my collection. Again, it’s gorgeous ❤️💜🧡

It s the signature perfume of the big family: mom, sister in laws, sisters..nieces..just everyone.😀
Sisley perfume makes me feel like I am young, elegant and glamorous. It makes me feel like the woman I was always meant to be. It is other-worldly.
It's so stunning and daring, I personally feel like this fragrance would be challenging for a lot of people BUT! Once you get to know it? (I bought this perfume for my friend for her wedding) and wow, I could smell her everywhere, she smelled like meadow flowers and greenery florist shop.
Fantastic review thank you
I love the Sisley brand and own three of their perfumes. Very longlasting perfumes, and not that pricy in Denmark actually, which is a good thing ;-)
What a lovely review! I just bought a bottle of it. Thank you. 😊
You're welcome. This one is very special. Challenging but special nonetheless! :)
Glam ping ha ha ha I love 😆😆😆😆what a great review again thank you I hope you have a lovely Christmas and can't wait for next review
+Da Pra Have a lovely Christmas too! :)
Oh what a relief, I like to hear that it's not a vintage smelling chypre. I ordered it as well as Soir de Lune. 😬 I'm scared. I'm brimming with a combination of fear and excitement.
Lovely review thank u, is it wearable in summer ??
I'm not a fan of chypre perfumes either but I LOVE Chanel no 19 haven't smelt Sisley perfume yet
I don't like chypre's either. I just got this one and it's ok. I pretty much can't make Shalimar work. I love the music mostly because I love Christmas lol.

Ha ha, it is a posh pine tree (with roses thrown in). How would you compare it to Dioressence? Hope you're doing well.
Dioressence is all about cinnamon, rose/geranium and patchouli, really soapy too.
So... Look and feel like a Christmas tree? 🎄🎄🎄
+maddie2781 Exactly! :)
Lol every time I watch one of your reviews I end up buying the perfume hehe I adore u
Aww thanks. Glad you like the vids. :)

I wish I could find a free sample somewhe :(
Maybe contact the brand? :)
