Continuing through my samples of Divine fragrances, this one from a generous POL’er.

You can find L’etre Aime – Femme (“the beloved woman”) at Lucky Scent $125 for 50 ml or $3 for .7 ml.

Notes: neroli, bergamot, nectarine, jasmine, lily, tincture of rose, everlasting flowers, labdanum, sandalwood, vetiver and vanilla

What do I think?
This is a luscious fragrance, heavy with nectarine.

My 12 yo immediately said how good I smelled. I do!

What’s it like?
I don’t own anything similar, which is why this is tempting to me. I suppose if you could cross one of my sweet orange fragrances with nectarine, you might come up with something like this.

It is fairly sweet, but not overwhelming. It isn’t like Pink Sugar.

I think the flowers, vanilla, sandalwood and vetiver enhance the depth of it and keep it from being overly fruity.

Some who have tried the men’s version of this prefer it to the feminine. I’ve not tried the men’s, so I can’t say.

What about the dry down?
As the fragrance dries down, it becomes a little less sweet, and the nectarine takes a back seat to the other notes. The nectarine is still there, underneath it all, though.

My take
I think I could own this one. It would have definite times when it would call to me.

I am sampling this in October, though the weather is still warm and mild where I am. We’ve see-sawed from the hottest weather on record to the coldest, and now it is just mildly warm. The longer this fragrance is on, the more it feels like a scent made for fall. I color it the color of changing trees, red and orange, but muted, not sharp or bright. Like a bright spot in a dull weather day, when the sky is overcast, but the leaves stand out in relief.

If you could make one of those fruit alcohol drinks you mix and keep on your counter, this reminds me of the smell of that. Blended fruit, but for grownups.

How about you? What do you think?
Have you tried the men’s and/or woman’s version of this fragrance? Do you wear any Divine fragrance(s)?
