Divine L’inspiratrice ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 30 November 2006 10 Comments

Divine L'inspiratrice

Divine has launched their fourth fragrance for women, L'inspiratrice:

L'inspiratrice is a lofty meeting between patchouli and the rose. To welcome and celebrate this royal couple, notes both floral and gentle intermingle throughout the entire chord: ylang from the Comoros and bergamot from Calabria, peony and white musk, vetiver blended with vanilla and tonka bean. Beware! Sensuality is in the air! (via divine.fr)

Update: L'Inspiratrice was created by perfumer Richard Ibanez.

Another update: see a review of Divine L'Inspiratrice.

    Mmmmm. I wonder how it will compare to my two favorite patch-rose pairings, l'Artisan Voleur de Roses and Grès Cabaret.

    Can't believe it, but I've never smelled Cabaret. Voleur is too heavily patch for me, but should revisit it. Might have grown on me. This sounds both lighter & sweeter (?)

    Luckyscent will have it soon, at any rate.

    I received the scented paper thing they sent out, and from that it seems to be very much in the Divine style – elegant, smooth and poised. I didn't get any strong patchouli, nor even much rose – but that's very Divine; all their scents are so smoothly blended and balanced. It's not at all like Voleur, which roars patch and plum at me.

    Good then. Voleur sticks in the back of my throat and won't let go.

    You know what it smells like to me? Sourdough bread. Bizarre, I know. I love it for its weirdness, but I can easily see how others might find it offputting.

    By coincidence, my scented card from Divine arrived in the mail today. This is quite different — nothing like Voleur, and nothing like sour dough bread. As described above, it is very elegant, also very feminine. Way less patchouli than Voleur. Will have to get a liquid sample.

    So would anyone say that this is definitely not suitable for men?

    This sounds lovely! Do you know if they sell samples? (I couldn't locate any on the site).

    Well, I'd hate to say definitively based on the smell of a card mailed from France, but guessing that the answer will be yes, not suitable for men.

    They will mail scented cards on request, and luckyscent will have it soon & no doubt will be selling liquid samples.
