I want to love this, but I can’t quite move past just really liking it. This is unusual and unquestionably beautiful – woodsy, slightly powdery, elegant yet not obnoxiously chic – but some component that would make it magical is missing (at least for me). Still rated as a buy-again as it is a pleasure to wear.

This perfume is the follow-up fragrance to Balenciaga Paris and features vetiver, patchouli, violet, violet leaf, green notes, sandalwood and cedar.
I’ve smelled the original and I prefer this one far over the other. Overall I like green perfumes, and I like mossy and woody scents. This istarts off more green than the original but dries to a more sweet, comfortable and woody scent.
It starts rather fresh, with a green violet scent (I love violet perfumes like TF Violet Blonde or Violetta di Parma) but when it dries down it gets more sweet and woody, some have described this as vanilla musk or maybe this is the sandalwood. On me it’s a very comfortable skin scent, great during the day and appropriat for summer of winter.
I also like that it has a slight masculine feeling to it, I think my boyfriend could wear this as well, but I’m keeping this for me 🙂
I love this!

I feel very torn about this scent. The top notes are too much for me. I like the floral violet notes mixed with some powdery accents and a bit of green freshness, but the intensity of it all is too much and borders on headache territory for me (of course “headache territory” is very subjective, so you may not have that reaction, but I wanted to make sure to include this for those of us who love our perfumes, but are sensitive to stronger scents). I love the dry down, though. It retains a powdery-floral feel and keeps the violet note with some green. But it all gets sort of deeper and darker with a slightly antique lace feel, like a bouquet of violets and roses in your grandmother’s kitchen. I could live in that scent. So for me it’s exactly 50/50. I don’t like the first half of this scent, but I adore the second half.
Edit: I’m trying this again because of how much I love the dry down. The top and heart seem very different to me now, I think it may be because I was getting over a cold when I was trialing it before. Now the top notes are pure green with a tinge of violet right at the beginning, but then the violet goes soapy, so there’s a green and soapy quality to it on me that makes it underwhelming. The dry down is still beautiful, but overall I think it’s a pass for me.
