Forêt de Bécharré
by Nez à Nez

Just OK. Light candied synthetic forest, kind of soapy.

This would be a good scent for a little kid.

I think this is a good scent. Not great perhaps, but good.
For my money, the strength is in the opening. Attractive citrus notes and aromatic green notes mingle pleasantly. The scent is bright, clear, not heavy. The chorophyll adds a minty, leafy-green note which I like. Despite the hazelnut and licorice this is not a sweet or foody scent at all. The vanilla is so restrained that (thankfully) I don't notice it. The cinammon here is a dusty bark note, rather than a cookie note (again, thankfully).
Reservations? Well, for a scent named "forest" I expect a darker and more sustained green character. I don't get any wood notes. The dry-down is a bit blah, thankfully not sweet but a subtle amber-leather note. I'm neutral on that.
But overall, a nice scent.

Another disaster from this house. Don`t stare that phony list of notes, as it actually creates an image of something quite wonderful.

Well, it isn`t. Ridicilous mishmash of different kind of aromachemichals, smell of something undiscribable. Sweet big bleh. Little soapy and bubblegummy.

Once again I must wonder if my sample (received from this house itself couple of years ago) has turned off.
