Ipanema Posto Nove smells like a scent being worn by the ‘beautiful people’. The name of this perfume refers to the Brazilian Ipanema beach in Rio, around its #9 lifeguard station, famous for liberals, intellectuals and counter-culturists. I haven’t been there, but it’s easy to imagine this is something the glitterati would wear with it’s uncommon rose/violet creamy blend.
IPN has a sophisticated accord, well blended with an understated elegance. The kind that bestows attractiveness to the wearer with an unspoken implication of good taste. The violet-rose combo integrates both so that the notes aren’t automatically recognizable, but merge into a fresh, charming fusion. Entwined is a light woody/spicy base that serves as a delicate accent. The coconut note, with its creamy luster, is laced in the background, softening the accord without intruding. It all has an effortless savoir-faire, very pretty and easy to be around, yet with the glamour of rarified air . . . like that girl immortalized in the bossa nova . . .
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes – ah
When she walks, she’s like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes – ah
She was probably wearing this!

Coconut-milky violet.
Incense and cedar are noticeable, too. Isabelle Michaud said that Ipanema Posto Nove Beach, in Rio, inspired her to make this.
However, I see no link with the Ipanema beach; actually with any beach. Maybe because there is this coconut drink that are often served in the beaches of Brazil. There is also a salty note, maybe some vetiver or the incense itself.
This perfume is very close to Comme des Garçons 2 Woman, thanks to the ionone and this milky-creamy feeling.
It’s nice, well done, but CdG2, in my opinion, is further refined.
