On 10/31/11 I was your "mailbox" subject, asking for help choosing a fragrance. I thank you all for your thoughtful suggestions. Many of you suggested Balenciaga Paris, so I had to try it. I absolutely love it! The dry down is perfect, and it lasts 12 hours on my skin. I'll be asking Santa for a full size bottle..... Finally!!

Coincidence??? I think not. :) Oh! forgot to mention…my husbands is a person who never comments on any perfume I wear…because you can’t smell anything on me (even I can’t) except for 2 times, and both times happened to be the time when I wore Balenciaga Paris – both on different days (months apart).

I have been in search of perfume that is powdery, unique & that would actually lasts on me. Everything seems to disappear on me for some reason. I tried Bvlgari Jasmin noir & within minutes everything is gone. Spayed the perfume sample I had within 2 minutes of my husband coming & nothing. I asked him, do you smell anything on it as he walked through the door. He bent over closer & I said "not so close". He replied "no". Surprised, I asked him "are you sure.." "No" he cut me off. That was a real disappointment so .... yesterday, I decided to test my "Balenciaga Paris' perfume sample a try.....well, well, well...i was in for big surprise. I sprayed it on at 8 am & went to work. It felt very light at work but the scent is amazing. As it develops & setlle downs it smells even better than I just sprayed it on. I thought to myself, now I remember why I wanted a sample of it so badly. As I worked I didn't quire remember I had it on unless I moved and then, oh! Balenciaga!!! By 1-2 pm I could barely smell anything at work. By 5:45pm, my husband picked me up from work. I opened the door of the car & got in. As I flipped the car's mirror in front of me to glance at myself, my husband suddenly said gently "you know...you don't have to put on perfurme right before you leave work!". Totally surprised, I looked at him & said "I didn't. I had this on since 8 o'clock this morning!!! He could actually still smell Balenciaga Paris after 10 hours when he couldn't even smell Blvgari Jasmin Noir right after I sprayed it!!!! I was so pleasantly shocked!!! I knew this was it. We then went for diner aftwards & while we were driving I could smell Balenciaga Paris here & there as I moved. By 8pm after diner, I had to drive as my husband had a beer over diner. Yep, I could still smell the perfume all around me while I was driving with my window slightly opened. I have no doubt that Balenciaga is the perfume for me :) So happy I finally found a perfume that actually lasts & smells like heaven!!! Thank you, Balenciaga!!! Oh my god, this lasts so long on me.

And I really like it. But everytime I wore it, I kept saying what does this remind of ? The the next day I sprayed on some J'Adore because I am trying to empty my bottle and I was stunned. It's just the briefest of flash during the opening and then more so about 15 minutes into the dry down. They share some very similar notes! Then J'Adore turns all soapy and dull on me. But I was so happy to find my favorite parts of J'Adore in another and better all around fragrance. I love this! I finally got to sample this really well this past week. And I really like it.

I think I have changed my mind too.....I am loving it. Yes, I too see a resemblance to Eden, thought so as soon as the dry down kicked in.....which is a bit annoying, because I don't care for Eden, and sometimes the association with a remembered fragrance spoils the joy of a new one!!

So would not have thought it much like Balenciaga Paris, but sounds like you know better than me! I am only vaguely familiar with Eden, sadly, and what I remember is: patchouli, loud, green.

Perhaps they both have violet in common, and I am interested if anyone else picks up on the similarity. Is it just me? It's a beautifully easy fragrance to wear where as Eden is nice to own but is hard to wear all day. Thoughts? I love this perfume and something about it reminds me of Eden by Cacharel.
