French Lover

“This one is just ok. A little too green for my taste. The review below describing it as cut grass sitting in the sun for a while is pretty spot on but it's like why would I want to smell like yardwork? Also, the performance is kinda poor. I'm usually a 3-4 sprays person and this was at 6 and still had low projection. The dry down is a little better than the opening but overall not worth a full bottle.”

“Absolutely love the scent. But longevity on my skin is almost non-existent (~1 hour). It’s a pity that I didn’t notice this despite testing a few times with an original discovery sample.EDIT 2/12/24: I keep using it and performance seems to be better. Even with the performance issues this is absolutely great. Probably my clear favourite for fall/winter.”

“Beautiful dry bitter green opening, a slight mid/drydown with some warm cedar musk but then poof it's gone in total 15-20min... Crazy poor performance, and at this pricepoint? Malle, or Estee-Lauder so I read, should be ashamed imho. If it was better 10-15yrs ago, they shouldn't have changed it to this watered down splurt because the opening is lovely...”
