La Route d’Emeraude premiered at TFWA 2012 in Cannes (Report 4) as a new fragrance of the luxurious and high quality collection Isabey. The house of Isabey can truly take pride in their beautiful editions Isabey Gardenia, Fleur Nocturne and L`Ambre de Carthage which are unique for their quality and outstanding compositions. For that reason and with a special attention we present the latest fragrance, La Route d’Emeraude, inspired by journeys to the emerald triangle of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
Inspired by exotic of distant regions and unique ingredients, designer Julien Viard create bottle and outer packaging in oriental spirit, inspired by the Far East in 1924.

The heart highlights notes of seductive and intoxicating gem among flowers – sambac jasmine surrounded with Moroccan jasmine absolute, orange blossom and tuberose. Base notes will warm the intoxicating floral heart with a hot and cuddly mixture of amber, vanilla, benzoin and musk.

Very strong and gorgeous floral, smells overwhelming, like a flowery secret garden at midnight in a night with a full moon. Reminds me of a particular night when I was little and the jasmine bushes were blooming and I was in awe of the beauty of the scent. It’s beautiful. Has a very rich and “oily” feel to it, it feels like it’s made of very high quality, natural, concentrated ingredients. I have a 2ml sample and I’m holding on to it, smelling it from time to time, because I don’t know where I can get it.
This is what I hoped that silly Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian would have smelled like. ( I know, I know, how naive of me to hope that lol) .

At first this reminded me strongly of Parfums de Marly’s Safanad, since both are very sweet with orange blossom dominating. But when I tried a side-by-side test, Route d’Emeraude was the classier, more elegant one. Next to it, Safanad, while lovely, smelled like something for a much younger woman, with its strong vanilla and pear notes. I find I prefer Route, which is more complex, deep, and mature. I wouldn’t mind a little bit of oakmoss or vetiver to temper the sweetness just a tad, but as it is, this is a gorgeous, lush fragrance that I’m delighted to have found.
Edited to add: I find myself reaching for Route all the time now. It’s comforting enough for bedtime but makes me feel elegant, feminine, and delicious during the day. It reminds me of older classic fragrances in the way it is so opulent and lush. I’m so delighted to have found this. I’ve been looking for a new signature scent for years now, and this is the best candidate I’ve found after a ton of sampling.

I find it incredibly similar to SL Fleurs d’Oranger. This also had a loooot af orange blossom. And tuberose. Info not much useful, as they have similar prices (and same mega-projection) I realize. Still, if you have one, no need to get the other.
This has a nicer bottle. 🙂

I managed to get a half full bottle on ebay. Upon first spray I knew I’ve smelled it somewhere before. The opening notes are more floral and sweet then fruity on me, but as it developed it became clear what I had in mind.The classic Anne Klein with its “howling civet”, which I have as well but don’t reach for very often. It is not an exact copy, but when the top notes fade it becomes very very close. For those who miss AK it might be an option worth exploring, although not a cheap one. Also La Route doesn’t change as much as AK in its passage through time.

I’ve just received my fb purchase its similar to Diva and Isabey Panouge. Wow
Certainly creamy and mature fragrance not for tweens. Its a version of the two perfumes mixed together its okay thought would get a fragrance of surprise especially on my birthday! Not

I am no stranger to Isabey’s delicious and scentful collections. I used to wear the gardenia by Isabey Panouge and that sparked compliments everywhere I went. In the subway stations when I used to live in
DC had many come and ask what scent I was wearing. I will receive it within the next couple of days and will update the findings of this anticipated arrival and if it was worth the fb price of $170 from E -bay.

Sensuous, like a lingering kiss on sun-warmed skin. A very personal and intimate fragrance.

This is glorious, fresh and wet and floral and rich, it’s like a garden at night, a dream of dew and fresh flowers and an opulent silk gown staring up at a midnight blue sky filled with glittering stars. It is a bubble bath in a claw foot tub in an old and elegant house. It is glorious night.
I’m so in love.

This is stunning and elegant – easily one of my favorite perfumes.

I like a mixture of female and male biased fragrances. It is all to easy to say all fragrances are “Unisex” and sure they were at one time in history. However, with this fragrance, I would normally assume it appealing more to females. Not that anything I have just said should stop us guys using this. Certainly has not stopped me!
I was surprised how delicate and refined the balance of this fragrance is. I think is very reasonable to say house of Isabey are renown for the uniqueness coupled with their quality and outstanding compositions.
Amazingly high quality for not a lot of money. A lovely discovery when I least expected it.

Oh, this is not working well on me at all. I love all of the notes, and had really high hopes, but I’m just getting… I can’t say exactly, but the smell is reminding me of a baby’s room, stuffy in the late afternoon because no one’s gotten around to opening the window. Musky, stuffy, diapered baby. Stupid uncooperative body chemistry!

Sampled this today and yesterday. It is a beautiful jasmine, musky fragrance, and I definitely get the cinnamon as well. I have traveled to Thailand and Cambodia, and this fragrance somehow took me back to Cambodia (but without being too incense-y). I was disappointed, however, that it did not last that long on me. I tried it yesterday evening after I got home, and it lasted about 3 hours. I wore it again this morning to church and it disappeared almost immediately when I started sweating during our lunch-time cookout. I thought maybe the sweat would make it stronger, since that happens for me with a lot of my Creed fragrances. But sadly, it was gone again today after about 3 hours. This fragrance, although it did not “wow” me, is beautiful to smell and masterfully blended. If it had been stronger and longer lasting on me, I may have considered a full bottle purchase.

The first hour R d’E reminded me a lot of Nicholais Eau d’Ete, they have in common the combination of jasmine, cinnamon and fresh bergamot. A modern variation on the white-floral theme, feels contemporary. Later, a vanilla becomes prominent on my skin as Route d’Emaraude settles to a cuddly sweetish skinscent. It stays close to my skin, very close, unfortunately it feels a little too subtle when combined with my chemistry (even though I applied generously).
However subtle or soft: the notes feel genuine, exclusive, and I can imagine someone else falling for this scent. For me Panouage made Gardenia, wich I love, so fair enough…

stunning jasmine fragrance with high quality and great long lasting power.but looks at the price,I hate to tell this,but ain’t it too pricy?!I mean there are so many cheaper jasmine perfumes that even if you have to spray twice,they would cost you cheaper than this.
there’s no doubt that it’s a very good fragrance,but personally I save my money for something more complicated.
goshik.nn – :
An absolutely beautiful perfume in the sample vial. After opening the vial and sniffing, I rushed to try this immediately.
Sadly, it does not perform well on my skin. All I smell is weak jasmine. White florals do not play well with my chemistry, so don’t let this review stop you from trying what has the potential to be an absolutely gorgeous fragrance.
If it smelled the same way on me as it did it in vial, it would have been a full bottle purchase.

This is a special floriental in a “modern” -olfactory way. Jasmin in the center surrounded by bergamot, cinnamon and rose with tuberose, amber, vanilla in the background. Interestingly, I find it soft and strong at the same time, exactly like the woman who should wear this beauty 🙂 Very feminine and perfect for an elegant, strong-willed lady. Lovely, especially for middle-aged women (I would say 30+).
