fragrance start young when there brand new as it age gets more power and refine. 2018-2021 when it’s aged to much it will turn into syrup and will lose all top notes. If getting old bottles don’t get anything over 5 years old because higher chance top notes are gone. This is why you like 2018-2021 better those old batches are going straight down hill.

Loving your reviews! I finally tried all three of the new bottles and I agree with everything you've said. The lemon and honeysuckle in the new EDP was way more prominent than I ever remember it being before, and yes the new EDT was literally gone from my skin in minutes. Not that the EDT was ever a powerhouse but never was it as faint as this, nor as floral. I guess they're trying to make it more seductive? If so this feels pointless because to me Cristalle was always seductive by not trying in any way to be seductive. That was it's beauty.
@expansefloating4096 Ай бұрын
@@Knoxy598 glad you’re enjoying your time here :) mmhmm they’ve definitely been bled out of the delicious galbanum which makes Cristalle magic, and provides much of that understated sex appeal you mentioned. Especially in the edt it needs it badly because the profile is light enough as it is. Such a shame! Now neither concentration is as unique. Still very pretty though.

I’ve been itching to try Eau de Campagne but I haven’t. Same goes for Declaration from Cartier. The only JCE pre-Hermes I have are Eau The Verte from Bulgari and L’Eau d’Ambre Extreme from L’Artisan. Both beautiful! I’ve always liked Ambre Extreme but I’ve never really given it the proper wearing until just recently and it turned out to be so much better than I thought for a classic amber.

It's interesting that on Michael Edwards' fragrance wheel this is classified not as a green, or even a fruity, but as a floral amber of all things. I'm not a fan of melon dominant, so I haven't smelled this.

@expansefloating4096 2 ай бұрын
Hello! They are all very fresh to begin with. I would say in this lineup gin & tonic from art de parfum might fit your bill the best. It’s realistic to me and fresh as fuck. But if an important part of the realism for you is the boozy metallic alcohol smell found in a cocktail, it doesn’t have that. In which case I’d go for Gin Fizz or GFS. Gin Fizz is very realistic, GFS a tad more abstract.
