TENDRE JASMIN "SECRETS D'ESSENCES", EDP by YVES ROCHER

   Do you love Jasmine blossom fragrance? 

"NUDE" - BEAUTIFUL INTIMATE COMPANION by BILL BLASS

  If you are fan of the Nude tone perfumes, I have this suggestion for you - "NUDE" by BILL BLASS.

   What perfume "NUDE" is?

   Created by the Queen of the perfumery Sophia Groisman in 1991. It's unusual "nude" type of perfume. When we listen "nude", most of us are making associations with soft, silent, calm perfume, delicate, floral or fruity (sometimes soapy), luxury perfume, which stays close to the skin and complements your aura in a specific way. It's very confident and extends your sensuality in individual only for you way. It's perfume for appreciators. 

   "NUDE" is woody aldehydic floral fragrance.

   It's has pyramidal composition, which contains:

TOP NOTES:

Aldehydes, Rosemary, Galbanum, Bergamot

MIDDLE NOTES:

Oakmoss, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Narcissus

BASE NOTES:

Sandalwood, Musk, Orris Root, Vetiver

   The first splash opens fresh floral-fruity, but very aldehydic dominating notes. You feel very vibrant scent of Narcissus, accompanied by lime, rosemary with hint of tender Jasmine and Orange blossom, stepped on very powerful Sandalwood note, which passes through all the etaps of the re-veiling of the fragrance.

   Later, it calms down to floral combination with the intensity of Oakmoss, Ylang-Ylang, Rose hint, Narcissus and musky veil.

   Once it settles to the base notes, the Sandalwood becomes more and more clear and continue to sound together with Orris roots, Vetiver and Musk note. 

   The Sandalwood itself is very clearly detectable, since the moment, you sniff the bottle. It sounds like wet piece of Sandalwood, with its softly and the same time, scratchy feeling on your palate. 

   In brief: the most powerful notes here are Aldehydes + wet Sandalwood + powerful presence of Narcissus.

   PHOTOS OF THE ORIGINAL BOTTLE AND BOX

   The perfume comes into massive glass bottle, transparent, 50 ml, 100 ml, EDC, Natural Spray.

   CONCLUSIONS

   It's wonderful perfume. It smells perfume, but not like that type of chemical waters=re-formulated perfumes, which are flooding the market nowadays. 

   Despite, this is EDC, it is very powerful (the same time tender) and long lasting.

   I advise to use this perfume:

    - Wearable each season

  - Because it's very confident and calm aroma, it can be weared in almost any time of the day and circumstances.

   I can say - IF you really want to try powerful, full of content, smelling really like perfume fragrance, give a chance to Bill Blass Eau De Colognes - BASIC BLACK, HOT, NUDE. They have depth, charm, message - each one of them has its own character.

   If you are not fan of such type of perfumes, than you won't be able to understand these.

   I RECOMMEND!

UPDATE: "STEPHANIE" by BOURJOIS - DETAILED PHOTOS

   Hello, friends!

   After long Holiday, I'm back here with new photo and information materials, which I'm going to share with you in my next articles. 

   During these weeks, I had possibility to approach part of my old - let's say, classic collection of perfumes. I made photos of the bottles, boxes (those of them, which are partially available - just box, or just bottle, I will publish much later), I made analyse of each one of them. 

     I truly hope, that my work will be useful and subject of great interest for you!

   I decided to start with one of the most favorite perfumes from the near past - "STEPHANIE" by BOURJOIS. (I already have published short article about it here - in this Blog of mine.)

     As we all know, BOURJOIS' perfumes are still really very, truly loved and appreciated from majority of the women and unfortunately, greatly missed. Some of their masterpieces are discontinued, long ago. Other - are re-formulated.

  Such discontinued masterpiece is "STEPHANIE" EDP, 1980 and "EAU DE STEPHANIE" 1980, created with the Princess of Monaco Stephanie.

   Now, I have the possibility finally to publish here detailed photos of the box, which we have.

   In the description is specially paid attention to the fact, that the perfume "STEPHANIE" has "an exceptionally rich concentration" of oils, that just a 2-3 drops are enough and the perfume will stay all day and night on your skin.

   I can testify, that this is true! Despite its unusual longevity and silage, "STEPHANIE" is not overwhelming, not annoying but stays beautiful, tender and captivating the senses during all its "life" on your skin.

   It leaves very long lasting veil after you!

   ORIGINAL PHOTOS OF THE BOTTLE, THE BOX, AND THE DESCRIPTION

   

   Here you can see in details:

   - the original bottle - massive glass, the biggest amount - 75 ml, EDP, Natural spray, batch code on the bottom of the label

   - the original box - in front, aside, back side, bottom side with code

   - the original note inside the box - description in 6 languages - French, English, Deutsch, Japanese, Spanish, Italian

Description in 6 languages - French, English, Deutsch, Japanese, Spanish, Italian

Description in 6 languages - French, English, Deutsch, Japanese, Spanish, Italian

The description in English

"Un parfum, c'est une façon de se reveler dans un sillage, de signer son passage d'un accord personnel.
Mon parfum est comme je suis.
Stephanie"

   CONCLUSIONS

 It's definitely A MUST HAVE fragrance. Honoured ambassador of the true perfumes, left somewhere in the past.

   Nowadays so called "perfumes" are turning more and more of them, into chemical shadows of the meaning and conception of what a real PERFUME used to be and should continue to be!

   In one of my next articles I write about such lost treasure - killed, by the re-formulation campaign - campaign, against the usage of natural oils in the perfumes.

   I wish BOURJOIS bring back "STEPHANIE", but NOT re-formulated!

   If you still can find it somewhere - I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND IT!!!

ESTEE - PURE CLASSICS by ESTEE LAUDER

   Yes, this is pure Classic! Genuine representor of the Classics perfumery! The second fragrance, personally created by Estee Lauder - "Estee".

   Typical Classic fragrance - very rich of floral aldehydes. They are in high concentration, with so strong, dominant and long lasting presence, that if you spray the perfume on you in one room, the next 2-3 days at least, you can still feel it (filling the whole room) and especially the aldehydes (I am talking about this precisely edition - 2007).

   This is real feminine perfume. It has depth, character, individuality - you can recognize it without mistake. Real Perfume for Real, genuine Woman! Woman, who realizes her femininity, her female power, her charm, beauty, female energy. 

   This perfume is not for young ladies - it is for ladies, who are already obtaining some maturity and femininity, but definitely, not for girls. For women with style, character, serious presence, personalities. 

TOP NOTES:

Aldehydes, Coriander, Tuberose, Lily, Raspberry, Peach, Lemon, Ylang-Ylang

HEART NOTES:

Honey, Carnation, Iris, Orris Root, Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Rose

BASE NOTES:

   Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Cedar, Styrax

      One detail to notice - according to the ingredients list, it contains:

   - Evernia Furfuracea (Treemoss) Extract

   - Evernia Prunastri (Oakmoss) Extract

   You definitely can feel them in the composition.

   With the first splash, you can feel the fresh top notes fruits - Peach, Raspberry with hint of Lemon. These same notes you continue to feel, if you spray the perfume on paper or cloth. The Lemon note is brighten in cold weather or air condition environment, let's say - cold temperatures. If you sniff from the bottle, you can feel mostly the flower aldehydes more precisely Carnation, followed by Oakmoss and spices - Coriander, Styrax.

   After some time, the flowers start to emerge. 

   PHOTOS OF THE ORIGINAL BOX AND BOTTLE

   The perfume comes in beautifully shaped - as crystal facets, glass bottle, in 30 ml and 60 ml (the current one is 60 ml). Super Eau de Parfum Spray. The cap and the spray are metal.

   CONCLUSIONS

 This is very elegant, classic, feminine, bright aldehyde perfume.

   My advice, according to my own personal opinion:

   - Season:

                    - Spring - Evening wear, occasionally

                    - Summer - Evening wear - rare!

                    - Autumn - Evening wear

                    - Winter - Day / Evening wear

   If you are not very familiar with this perfume, it might be too strong for you. My personal recommendation is:

   - Spray 1-2 times to make cloud in the air and go through. That's well enough!

   If you think, that this could be your type of perfume for special events or sometimes in casual use, go to store - FIRST TEST, after - buy!

   I RECOMMEND IT!!!

8x4 Pure - Reminiscence of Ming Shu (Yves Rocher)...

   Do you miss MING SHU?...

   Here might be a decision for you, if you are in situation you can't find it, but at least you can try this:

Lily, Watermelon, Seaweed   

   I recently came across this very high quality Perfume Deodorant - 8x4 PURE.

    

  It reminded me very much my favorite Ming Shu perfume, which I can't find now, unfortunately.

   

   The biggest resemblance is coming from Nymphaea Stellata, known as Blue Lotus, Star Lotus or Water Lily. 

Ming Shu is Aquatic Floral

Top notes: Marine Notes, Pepper

Mid.notes: Nymphaea Stellata, Ylang-Ylang

Base notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla

   Some little difference comes from the sweet note of the Watermelon, but overall - both of them are Aquatic, with Lily presence and very pure as spirit.

   They radiate sensuality and pureness the same time.

   I find 8x4 very high quality product. It stays for hours, provides protection without betray. Doesn't leave spots on the clothes. Gives delicate fragrance. And most of everything - it reminds me Ming Shu so much :)!...

   CONCLUSIONS

   You can wear it in any occasion. Even you don't need parfume. In case, if you have both of these scents, you can make the perfect combination.

   I RECOMMEND!
