I always love to listen to JCE, he has such a lovely way of expressing himself.
I tried this at Printemps Paris. It’s very unusual and very different, at least to me, from his work with Hermès. I’m not sure that I love it, but I found it very intriguing.
Oh good, glad it is both unusual and different from his work at Hermes.
I would be very interested to hear what you will make of it. It is at least worth a try.
I found the drydown a tad sharp on paper, but not at all in skin.
Mind you, my sniffing skills were not on top form as I was coming down with a bit of a cold. It always seems to alter my perception of scents a bit, when that happens. I will resniff!
Like with Cap Neroli, I am sold on this one. Off to Nordie’s I go.
I hope you will like it!
🙂
I really think I will!
Is it out in the US yet??? I’m very tempted to blind buy, but thankfully not at Malle pricing.
DO NOT blind buy. I was sure I’d love it, and I didn’t at all.
Oh no!
Hello! late to this!
I am not sure! Gonna see if it is at Nordie’s and get a sample first!
Interesting video. Enjoy hearing about the process and how he thinks about his work. Looking forward to trying this!
