Jeanne Arthes- Capricieuse Eau de parfum review

Hello ladies,

I got to share this with you! I bought this gem at a small price and guess what: it smells very much alike to Yves Saint Laurent's  "Manifesto". If you don't know that perfume, let me tell you, it's a oriental powdery, seductive, creamy, warm vanilla. So, if you are into these fragrances, this is the perfume I recommend. It's classy but subtle... sexy sophistication without overwhelming sweetness.

Capricieuse has an interesting bottle, a bit kitschy but for its price, I did not cared that much.I just had to give it a try after seeing some reviews. For 100ml (3.4 ounces) I payed a fraction of the money I would normally pay for YSL. Its about 10% of the amount i would usually pay.

It starts off with a fruity, very slight citrusy feel, that soon blends in with a warm vanilla and caramel dry-down that is soft and delicious. It is a cold season perfume, its projection s quite overwhelming and it lasts for hours on my skin. A gourmand- couture scent, and a great substitute and for a killer price. You can't smell anything tacky in it, or cheap. So go for it, you won't regret it ladies.
I give it 5 stars out of 5 and will repurchase it very soon!

Jeanne Arthes- Patchouli Sumatra EDP review

Hi ladies,

I've decided to do this review because I am really impressed by this scent! And if you read my blog before, as a perfume critique I am not easily to impress.

It was a blind buy for me, and its that time in life when you crave for niche perfumes but your budget is not enough. So you need to improvise. I never agreed to buy cheap perfumes,NEVER! I think I was a bit bourgeois about this, but this amazing scent really made me rethink this preconception and I am glad I have listened to my intuition when purchasing it.
So... After studying this brand which was totally unknown to me, I ordered it.

What drawn my attention was the name: "Patchouli Sumatra" it sounded so oriental and what drawn me to it, was one of the components . I love patchouli in my perfumes because it gives a subtle masculine scent. Makes them stronger, and i feel confident wearing them. After the initial shock, the amazing expensive-looking bottle, I had another surprise: the scent. It's smelling like Juliette has a gun - Calamity J. But the price difference is HUGE. About 90 euros ! What a bargain !
The first notes I noticed were really powerful, sexy, yet classy- hot amber and spicy cinnamon blended perfectly with sharp, pleasant patchouli. After a while, I felted a subtle sweetness on my wrist like tonka beans and a hint of creamy vanilla.
I could definitely recommend this as a unisex fragrance. This is a cold season perfume that lasts long on your skin, a perfect balance of earthiness and sweetness.  So, if you are into sexy orientals slightly dark and masculine, I advice you to get it !

I definitely will repurchase giving this amazing gem 5 stars out of 5 !

Love,
Sophie





















 

Never let anyone bring you down. Stay strong and sexy!

Hi ladies,

Let me tel you a story. My story.

 I've been pushed around in my youth, by many people and situations. I was shy, I was afraid to step up, to be a woman.
 Raising without a mother figure in my life, I did not know anything about femininity, attitude, fragrances, makeup or dresses. I had to move mountains to learn the basic things a young woman must know. But I never quit.This road I took made me stronger. Now I know how to be a woman in a true sense. I know how to be desired by men, liked by women, how to wear my stilettos, my perfume, my makeup. I m always humble and never forget from where I came from, where I am now and where I am going. I am so grateful that I can be an inspiration to many women out there.

 Stay strong, beautiful, smart and sexy!

Love,
Sophie
