Revisiting the Divine fragrances to enjoy them again. I received this early on, but when I received 3 Divine samples in a large haul recently from a generous POLer, it spurred me to re-try this one.
My first love is L’Inspiratrice. Second in order of my likes, but so close as to be identical is L’ame soeur (the soul mate.)
L’Ame soeur, the most beautiful of encounters, epitomises a harmony beyond time, an eternal marriage of noble flowers and aldehydes.
Essence of jasmin, otto bulgar rose and ylang from the Comoro Islands combine with ambergris to celebrate the natural elegance and innate sensuality of L’Ame soeur.
What does it remind me of?
It reminds me of Chanel # 5.
At first whiff, I recognized a familiarity, but it was enough different that it took me a few minutes to catch it.
How does it compare to Chanel # 5?
#5 is brash in comparison to L’Ame soeur which is gentle and harmonious.
#5 is brighter, even in the elixir.
If you like Chanel # 5, you likely would like L’Ame soeur, or if you wish you could wear Chanel #5, you would likely enjoy wearing L’Ame soeur. They are sister fragrances, not identical, but close.
Which do I prefer?
I prefer L’Ame soeur to #5. L’Ame soeurstarts and ends on me with a beauty I don’t find in # 5 on me.
My take
I quite like it. While I like Chanel #5, I never reach for it. It is too aldehydic and bright, even brassy on me. It never softens. I like that this is similar to #5, but much kinder and softer.
Do you wear this fragrance?
Do you wear any Divine fragrance? Do you prefer this to Chanel # 5 or vice versa — or have you never tried it?
