Penelope sent me a sample of this and it is really lovely. It smells nothing like what I'd expect from reading the notes. It is not at all foody or sweet or overly fruity. It is warm and sophisticated and unusual. If it had greater staying power, I'd buy it. You wonder when Lynn Harris is going to figure out that her perfumes would sell a lot better if she put more—um— scent in them. I mean, isn't being able to smell it after 5 seconds sort of the whole point of perfume? It's really a shame in this case, because there's a lot of artistry in Coeur d'Ete.
L, completely agree, it was not at all what I expected from the notes. Have only tried once so far, but would agree that the lasting power didn't seem fantastic. But surprised you feel that way about the whole line. I think of most of them as very heavy & long lasting. The ones I love, of course, like Fleur du Matin, don't last.
Sounds like she's got a recipe for a great dessert, but I will take both your and LA's words for it that this does not smell at all foody.
I have only tried or owned a few, but I find that her fragrances have very good lasting power on my skin.
Hugs!
It is much softer than most of her fragrances. I heard from the SA at Saks that she created it when she was pregnant & smells were bothering her.
And, she obviously had food cravings! LOL!
Can't imagine what my own pregnancy fragrance would smell like…but probably some sickening combination of vanilla ice cream and potato chips!
