Comme une Evidence (2003)
by Yves Rocher

I always get compliments when I wear this! I was initially attracted to the violet leaf in the composition but have since learned that violet turns peculiar on me. Just as well that the violet in comme use evidence after a first blast goes away and other florals take it's place. And they're pretty! Not sugary but springlike smells, lily of the valley, Jasmine, Rose, and is that Tonka to anchor it all? Comme use Evidence doesn't Make a Statement, but one doesn't tire of it, it's not novel, it doesn't shout I just love it for saying one thing, 'I love flowers and I love smelling like them'.

I've worn this perfume for years and years. I really love it! I do not wear it at the moment. sometimes it can get a little heavy or to present.
It is a good en sensual smell.

One of few perfumes that stays true on my skin and continues to smell nice. There's also a A FRESHER, MORE RADIANT VERSION OF COMME UNE ÉVIDENCE Comme une Évidence Eau de Toilette. When I wear either of these I'll usually get compliments. The scents don't last a long time on my skin though, and I have to refresh it during the day.

I have a lot of allergies, so it's nice to be able to find a perfume/cologne I can handle.

A pleasant floral chypre – feminine: The floral is primarily lily of the valley. I personally don’t care for the violet leaf in the opening but it doesn’t come on strongly enough to annoy me. I think Comme une Evidence is one of those fragrances that exhibit a variation of reactions to different skin types because it reacts completely different on paper from the way it responds on my my skin. It is thin, uninspired, and a bit boring on paper, but on my skin it works beautifully. The fragrance is freshly floral, and a little soapy. It’s more subtle than not, and uncomplicatedly constructed which is difficult to imagine considering that it’s a chypre. The lily of the valley is well presented – clear and nicely natural. My favorite aspect is the mossy drydown that projects a discreet elegance as well as that bit of sensuality typical of chypres. The drydown gets a little powdery at the end. For as light as Comme une Evidence is, it lasts quite well. All in all, it is a very good fragrance at a reasonable price.

I really liked this one but it ended up cloying me so I gave it away.

This is a very elegant, feminine scent, mainly chypre, a little floral and quite sharp, but not heavy IMO.
The drydown is conforting and pretty, without losing its freshness.

I think it's a suitable fragrance for the office, sprayed in moderation, of course, as its lasting power is quite good.

This smells really pretty-in the bottle, that is! On me it stank badly of some chemical waste! Too bad because I really wanted it to work for me! Oh, well! So many perfumes, so little time!
