I’m a sucker for a well done musky dry down and Polge really excels at it, so this won me over. Also I more and more appreciate a lot of fragrances (especially Chanel) for what they are NOT. Not too sweet no overused aroma chemicals etc.

Yes I think you’re right there. I’m glad I’m not the only one re certain aroma chemicals, I’m starting to sound like a broken record but it’s so important to me to mention it as they ruin a fragrance for me.

I didn’t know about the notes in Comete and thought was a gentle white floral before I sprayed it. I was positively surprised and thought “powdery sweet confection iris” I’m coveting this and La Pausa.

I find it's quite similar to Guerlain Rose Cherie and also Bienaime' La Vie En Fleurs. I'm on the fence on whether to buy it or not as I can't smell Comete on me after awhile. I agree that you almost have to overspray it. I agree completely with your opinion on Comete.
@Smurfygurly6 ай бұрын
Thanks, it definitely has a lot in common with the Bien Ame I can’t see me buying it at this point but will continue to wear from my decant.

Sweet almond extract definitely sounds like a mass-appealing opening. I think Le Lion was a bit mass appealing too, sweeter and more resinous than leathery. I don't know why - I'm really skeptical about it, maybe all the hype. It does sound nice though, I like a powdery violet/iris almond scent. Thanks Claire for the first impression, and am looking forward to your full review.

I think a new Les Exclusif will always get hyped. It’s definitely pretty and nice quality, I’m looking forward to getting to know it better. Thanks for watching Jackie and hope you’re doing well.

Hi all! I’m also waiting for my cameta, my daughter will bring it to me from London, £215 75 ml. I took it without testing, just based on the notes. I think I’ll like it. although today Chanel is very, very expensive.

Yeah ducky do it! Probably too sweet for you at least in the opening. I’m curious what you will think.
@kellielambert21846 ай бұрын
I sampled this in store when I purchased my 31 Rue Cambon bottle, thought it was nice but rather generic and certainly not worth the extraordinary price Chanel now put on their Les Exclusif range

Well, it's unkillable on fabrics, it's 4th day and it's still on my jacket sleeve, and still projects and contaminates the skin! I am in disappointed league due to 2 reasons: first, it's not Chanel-like scent, it's sooo mass appealing and modern, second, it's like something forgettable and non-descript to the point that I feel uncomfortable. Oh, and three, - it made my nose ache inside when I was breathing it in during the first hour or two, like physical overstimulation thing. I am almost angry at Chanel for making us wait 2 years and producing such a mediocre perfume and sticking it into Exclusifs line.
