   |  Gives the impression of a minimalistic composision (few components). Somewhat metallic and green for the first few minutes. Softens to a rosy and aldehydic (soapy) heart. Later even more powdery white musk. Sort of a very soft White Linen. Quite discreet, clean and close to the skin: a real skin musk. A baby scent for adults. Essence is longer lasting than I expected. If For Her is your going out scent (strong and sexy), then Essence is your relax sunday scent. One of the best bottle designs of the past few years. Wonder how it will do... as its soft musk notes can be difficult to persieve to some people, especially in a space (departement store) which air is crowded with fragrances. 12 August 2009 |
  | Well following For Her is a difficult task IMO, but this is not three bad! Very well made, obviously has high quality oils, fair amount of naturals too me thinks! (well you would hope so coming from Shiesedo) Lighter and more feminine than For Her, more powdery but dries down to that familiar musk. Easy to dismiss at first sniff but give it time for the musk to warm to the skin and its really rather lovely! 27 July 2009 |
   | It's an incredible, sharp rose fragrance. Essence de roses. Just imagine all the ancient gods on mount Olympus, each having a specific fragrance. This is what goddess Aphrodite would have wored. It's very feminine. Roses are just sharp- well made- not clean, not dirty. Makes you dream about kisses under the moonlight and I'm sure a woman wearing this would inspire her beloved to be more romantic or give her some roses. It's also VERY long lasting, and has a quality sillage. Powerful, yet doesn't spread around like a vulgar perfume. This is classy and very romantic. 27 July 2009 |
