This Eau de Parfum is Beautiful! Light and ethereal are very proper words to use when describing the first impressions of Fleurs de Gardenia. The top notes combined with the fresh green notes of galbanum are bright and stimulating. As this moves onward into the floral heart notes, it is as if their buds have unfolded one by one to fill the senses with a little bit of heaven. A short while passes as you enjoy this eau de parfum before the entire base warms on the skin. When it does it is balmy and soft as a feather. The base notes deepen the floral notes slightly and it is romantic and delicate in the final dry down.

The House Of CREED does it right again. Maybe Oliver Creed wanted to paint an olfactory picture of a garden in one corner of heaven. Or, maybe, he was thinking about the budding of a new romance. Which ever it was he had in mind, I would have to say that as usual Oliver Creed was spot on.

THANK YOU LADIES, SO MUCH!

Before going on to my next post today I would like to sincerely thank Nasreen and Vallerie for their lovely gift and thoughts on my birthday. What a wonderful surprise. I enjoyed the fragrance and wrote about it immediately. Sorry this has taken a little long to be posted on here but I had a slight issue with my computer that required some work.

ACQUA FIORENTINA, THE ENCORE

CREED

Fruity/Floral

Top Notes: Lightly sweet greengage plum (dessert plum), Diamond Jubilee Apples, Pruneau

Heart Notes: Renaissance Roses, White Carnations, Florentine Pear, Sicilian Bergamot and                                       Calabrian Lemons

Base Notes: Virginia Cedar, Indian Sandalwood, White Grapefruit.

Oliver Creed (sixth generation master perfumer) at CREED in Paris presents this Eau de Parfum as a gift to his American audience, Acqua Fiorentina The Encore. The original was not available in the USA. As a special touch to the creation, Mr. Creed added Diamond Jubilee Apples to the blend honoring The Royal Year 2012.

On me, this is fruity and slightly floral. Very lovely and an easy wear. These fruit notes are juicy, not too sweet, not too tart. The fruits are right there in the middle of both. The two floral notes are perfect in this composition. As the base notes of Sandalwood and Cedar become apparent, they are subtle, adding depth. Then the surprise is the juicy white grapefruit revealing itself in the base. If you love fruity parfums, then this one is sure to delight you. No, not a sweet teenagers fruity fragrance. This one is grown up and classy. The house of CREED, has created another lovely Eau de Parfum. To tell the truth, I would expect nothing less from this Parfum House with their history of creations for Royalty and the famous throughout their existence.

AMYRIS FEMME

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Notes: Orange from California, Jamaican Amyris, Florentine Iris, Haitian Vetyver, Musky Amber

Amyris is a flowing shrub in the Caribbean whose trunk secretes a balsam called elemi. Elemi is called "A flame that never dies". 

A burst of California Orange leads into a whisper of floral which is quickly immersed in dry greens, fresh greens and balsam, finally resting on a base of soft musky amber. This Eau de Parfum is not transparent nor opaque. It is more like a lovely veil. Wear it everywhere, everyday, anytime.

Graceful class in a bottle. Amryis Femme is every bit a lady raising her voice just above a whisper.

Amryis Femme! Try this one and see if it becomes your new signature scent or your first one.
