L'Âme soeur
by Divine

My new favorite among Divine's scents -- and I don't normally like fruity frags! (This is what Tresor could have/should have been.)

This is rich, potent, feminine, heady stuff -- definitely not unisex, and most assuredly not shy.

Explosive opening of aldehydes and ylang-ylang that soon dries down into a soft, powdery feminine seductress of a scent. (The longer it lasts -- and that's a long time -- the more powdery it becomes.)

By all rights, this uber-feminine, quintessentially aldehydic, remarkably powdery and terribly French frag should have been put out in the Thirties or Forties, not in the last decade.

Try before you buy.

the first scent is almost alcoholic - like the old "98% alcohol" perfumes in the Eastern block countries.
then it's nice.
a scent to wear to casual occasions.gives the sense of feminity.

Starting as an ordinary "aldehydate", it soon shows its grandeur: full and voluptuos flowers, amber and vanilla on the sweet, powdered and sensual bottom line. A good fragrance, smart and too much sensual, thrilling and quite classic. A seducing firework, on the right woman.

L'Âme Soeur: A collection of aldehydes, rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. With its florals and aldehydes it is a very tiny bit reminiscent of Chanel No. 5 in its opening—just a bit. The opening is actually quite potent but it settles down to a more discreet level quickly enough. L’Âme Soeur is very fruity, and, especially, powdery. The accords are well made and it is excellently constructed, but I would question the actual desirability of the accords. I really don’t find this very special. I think it too fruity and, after the aldehydes are gone, there’s not much that stands out except the powder. It might be a great scent for those who really love fruit and powder. It seems a bit too youthful to me.
