Off Balance…”
This is the first tested of my Divine Sample Coffret. I received the version for men as well, but this version appealed more. First off, the opening of this fragrance is quite fresh, and appealing. As well as the bergamont, the nectarine note is very noticable, and blends very well with the neroli. I really enjoyed the opening, and it didn’t fade quickly, but drifted in to the middle notes nice and slow. Then I started to detect a salty note..perhaps the immortelle flowers, as they can portray a slightly salty note, to me anyway). I couldn’t really pick up a lot of jasmine or the rose to be honest, as the immortelle was always at the forefront. After about an hour, I started to notice a whiff of smoke…very light, but a definite smokey tinge. This was also quite nice, and put a warm sort of edge to the fragrance. Then the whole thing was more or less thrown off balance…by the arrival of vetiver! This ruined the dry down for me, and unbalanced the whole fragrance. It just doesn’t fit in the equation! It seems to somewhat cheapen the whole effect. If they had just left out this note, the sandalwood, amber, and touch of vanilla would have been a lovely ending.

The Beloved Woman…mmm, gorgeous scent that demands attention. Utterly Divine! I love this warm, uplifting scent, it makes me feel happy. It starts off dazzlingly sunny with a burst of floral citrus notes and sun-ripened nectarine dripping with juicy sweetness, followed by a radiant heart of mediterranean bouquet of lush white flowers accented with the deep honey-caramel note of tiny immortelle blooms(I love immortelle, love the golden bitter caramel scent of it!)…the dry-down is earthy, sweet and subtly musky like the warm scent of the earth gently cooling off in the evening…a bit sexy…
This is my pick-me-up scent whenever I’m a bit in the dark and need some golden sunshine….oh yes, it’s elegant golden sunshine I’m talking about here…not the Clinique Happy fun yellow sunshine 🙂
