Description
Les Voyages Olfactifs 04 Paris-London is a fourth fragrance of Les Voyages Olfactifs series.
The fragrance is fresh green floral (sheer rose, violet and warm cardamom in the heart) with sour gourmand nuances of rhubarb.
For this launch, the bottle sheds its initial 250 ml format and adopts the 100 ml travel size allowed
in the plane cabin. On the front, we see the number that corresponds to the journey, 04 for London.
On the back, Serge Mansau drew a sketch, engraved in platinum that traces out the emblematic
spot of the city. In this case, the Tower Bridge illustrates the spirit of London. As with the previous Les Voyages Olfactifs 04 Paris-London was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser.

Very nice for a morning spray on rainy days !
The rhubarb adds an elegant green (tea) note during the opening while the citruses don’t last, an opening which BTW is unusually long lasting (2-3 hours), before leaving the scene for a superb violet & rose combination not at all powdery, maybe due to the persistent tea notes, modulated by cedar.
I don’t get much cardamon here, but as I understand from the previous reviews, this is one more multi-facet frag from Thierry Wasser. I love it, reminds me of green & rainy London gardens and suburbs!
Available again at Guerlain Francs Bourgeois Boutique in Paris, and maybe in another few malls somewhere …

I will receive this one next week… I’m very excited to try it ! I expect a light and fresh citrus and tea combo with a heady rose like only Guerlain can do and a sparkling rhubarb to bring a touch of sweetness and tartness… Mhhh I hope I will like it !!!
Circadcammaro – :
Sweet tea and violets … Very pretty, very clean.
Praporstr – :
Very lemony, and unisex , I don’t find either that it captures anything related to the fascinating city of London!? This is bright, fresh, uplifting in the top notes, a bit of spiciness appears in the heart,it gets a bit warmer, but overall it isn’t very complex, or sophisticated at all,longevity is weak, for the price I expected a lot more!!!

I’m not so sure about the other cities but this fails to capture the spirit of London.

12-26-11: I tried this on today at Bergdorf Goodman. It is a very clean/fresh scent. This scent can be worn all year long. It is not overpowering. The top notes that I detect are the black tea/bergamot/grapefruit. The dry down base note is woodsy with something else. I am not sure what it is, but it is woodsy with something…could it be vetiver? Maybe.
I would consider buying this as it is very nice and can be worn all year long.
