Received Suave Petals in a swap today and it’s first day of wearing it
I was hesitant to choose it in swap since patchouli and orris are tricky notes on me.I also hate Narciso Rodriguez for her edp which is mentioned by 5 people as a similar perfume.I also own SJP Beauty,JHAG Lady Vengeance and Micallef Mon parfum(other similar perfumes).while I like all of these three,I didn’t want to have their dupe too.
Fortunately choosing to have Suave Petals was a good decision.I like it a lot.while I can see why other fragranticans chose mentioned perfumes as similar ones,it’s not exact dupe of any of them.
When first sprayed all I can smell is patchouli and a shy rose.not an unbearable patchouli,still too much for my taste but after ten minutes,rose blooms and it’s a pretty rose with a hint of fruity,peachy nuances.at the same time musk shows up as the most prominent note.this musky rose is so gorgeous,feminine,sensual and elegant that I can’t get enough of it and it projects so good that I can easily smell it on myself and enjoy it’s silky sensuality for yours
After couple of hours patchouli comes back to stage hand in hand with oris and Suave Petals settles down to a soft,dark,powdery-woody-earthy scent with just a hint of musky rose lingering in background,I get a slight vintage lipstick vibe from it but this stage is very fleeting and it’s not the end of this journey.as clock tiks,something like a spicy,peppery sandalwood becomes more and more apparent,or maybe it’s just the mix of notes smelling like a very creamy woody thing.this dry down stage reminds me a honeyless Estee Lauder Sensous with magnolia of Sensous being replaced by rose
although I prefer middle stage,don’t dislike this late drydown.I like the fact that it’s not linear and this subtle mysterious,spicy-creamy drydown is an interesting ending for the super gorgeous musky floral scent of middle stage which is with me for 2-3 hours.it’s dry down seems to last forever so there’s nothing to ask more in case of duration and projection
All in all I’m very happy to have this high quality,sexy yet classy feminine fragrance in my collection and can see myself wearing it year round
Bytheway it’s bottle’s color doesn’t look as pale as fragrantica photo,not before it’s all used up as it’s juice is ambery and makes it’s bottle look orange and a happy pink shade
Edit:
I don’t like It’s late drydown (about 5 hours after application) and it’s a shame as I adore it’s first hours.
4-5 hours after spraying what it is left on my skin is a unisex(almost masculine) blend of patchouli and something like sandalwood.a very bland,creamy-woody scent without slightest hint of sweetness or femininity
Well I’m still going to wear it as I love it’s musky floral stage but I can’t use it on clothes and I have to take a shower at the end of the day.I know that a lot of ladies love such woody scents but not me

This is my favourite perfume, it’s the one that consistently has people commenting on how beautiful it is and quite simply, it makes my day a better one when I wear it. It’s both a very definite, present perfume as well as being one of those enticingly elusive ones.
The longevity of the scent itself is impressive, I would only really need one application for it to see me through all day long but the happiness it gives me when it’s freshly applied means the temptation to refresh the application is usually too great for me to resist.
I bought this originally on a trip to Venice, I have a strong connection to the city and it never fails to remind me of my favourite place on a sunny day.
If you’re looking for something truly beautiful with a sensual undercurrent, look no further. Love it.

When I first sniffed this one I was impressed by how much it reminded me of Mon Parfum by M.Micallef, which I adore. The first notes seemed almost identical and I was really enthusiastic. Half an hour later though a big blast of patchouli was dominating over the rest. I am not a patchouli lover and my skin tends to make it very prominent. I think I will stick to my Mon Parfum, where patchouli is less distinguishable, though with no doubt this one is a good quality perfume.

My mum brought this back from Venice (to Australia) for me for my birthday. I have never, ever smelt a more exquisite, amazing, beautiful scent in my entire life. It is out of this world, the absolute best scent. Its delicate, unique, long lasting and very feminine. I just can’t say enough on this!!! 🙂
