Can’t be bothered by this scent, can’t recommend it. If you have the chance to test it out, please do, because if you do like it, there’s plenty out there based on the same vein. This fragrance was Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR gifted to me and a long time ago and I instantly loved it. Nowadays not so much of a fan anymore. It’s very strong and if you overspray can definitely give you and the people around you a headache.
Moncler Pour Homme, on the other hand, is a woody aromatic fragrance created by perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Christophe Raynaud. Billie Eilish’s highly-anticipated signature fragrance, made in partnership with Parlux, launched in November. The LR Soul of Nature product portfolio comprises eight 100% pure and natural essential oils and Estee Lauder makeup four aroma mood worlds with four to five care products each. “There is something about the past year that makes us want to find ways to boost our moods and create our own happiness. Global beauty companies were challenged by sudden brick-and-mortar retail closures, the shutdown of international travel, and supply chain disruptions.
There is still a lot of comparison to the Flowerbomb fragrance. But I, in particular, feel that the latter has more floral content. The biggest connection comes from the patchouli note, but I still think that one is more open and oriental, while the other is denser and gourmand. I’ve changed my Estee Lauder makeup mind about this fragrance regrettably, although it has never been my cup of tea, I appreciated it for what it was when the sillage is mildly radiating in the air. However, having tested the scent DNA again, it is so overbearingly mass-appealing to the extent that is has the adverse effect.
I find this to be a very cozy scent; to me it has the vibe of wearing a thick cardigan and reading a murder mystery by the fire while sipping hot chocolate, comfy and warm. If the opening wasn’t so awful, and if it didn’t have that synthetic edge to it, I would have rated it as “like”. Ah, where do I start with this one… I don’t really enjoy gourmand scents, so I never really planned to test out this one. But then I received a small bottle as a part of a gift set and now that I’ve tried it, I do have to say that it’s not quite as bad as I thought it would be. LVEB is very sweet in the opening, but the dry down is strong patchouli on my skin, with the right balance of sweetness and warmth given by the praline and tonka.
However, it does lack that sophistication, that complexity that Coco Mademoiselle has. And what I really didn’t like was the opening, which smelled horrifically synthetic and sharp on me. After maybe 30mins it started to get gentler and sweeter.
They have the exact same crystalline caramelized sticky sugar sweetness. I would be very surprised to find out it wasn’t the same fragrance molecule used in both perfumes. La Vie Est Belle is more fruity however.
