New Fragrances - La Vie Est Belle L’Elixir, Creed Eladaria & More

Описание: I went to Bluewater shopping centre for a sniff around. I tried most of these perfumes on paper so please bear in mind that this is not the best way to test perfumes, they usually smell much better on skin (although not always) so take my opinion with a pinch of salt and ideally please do not blind buy any perfumes, go and test them yourself on skin and take your time to ensure you enjoy every stage of the wear.

About me - I'm Claire and I live in the UK. My taste in perfumes is usually quite sweet but not too sweet, I love white florals but not tuberose so much. I like gourmands as long as they smell like perfumes still, I require my perfumes to change a little bit as I wear them ie not linear. I don't enjoy oud, leather, cumin, saffron or strong patchouli however there can be occasions where I do like perfumes with these notes if they are not too dominant. I enjoy most florals as long as they are backed up with something sweet or perhaps resins / incense. I tend to not enjoy anything very soapy. I also don't really enjoy very green fragrances. I am averse to overdoses of ambroxan and iso E super (timbersilk or similar) just because I find it annoying! I have no problem with synthetics in perfumery but I do enjoy perfumes that have some notes that at least smell like they could be from nature. My favourite type of perfumery is indie and I love Francesca Bianchi, Teone Reinthal, 4160 Tuesdays and Papillon Artisan Perfumes.
