J'adore Eau De Parfum Infinissime

another fabulous perfume in itself, not as a generic flanker of j'Adore. of the first version I had the perfume and it was too light for me. there is no such danger with THIS fullbodied, wonderful, eternal enfleurage dissipating perfume. in the closed box I could smell the tuberose. (de Grasse and in 'Partenariats' with some farmers in the South of France.). all the flowers at once to my nose and yet all the flowers discernable. the tuberose up front, the rose, the jasmine sambac, the ylang-ylang and I didn't detect explicitly the lily of the valley. perhaps much in unison with the jasmine and tuberose. this is a perfume you're proud you're wearing it then and there. you WILL get noticed but although it has some reminiscence to Giorgio (which I will love forever), it is a French perfume. chic, dramatic, not entirely over-the-top. but oh so sophisticated. and it is also pure quality. they braid this story of eco-consciousness, sustainability, with the entertaining of the partenariats conscious of the environment etc., etc. I believe it and at the same time I know this is so luxurious, it is still a guilty pleasure. in fact the only ADORE I love. (as madonnatella) this is the one for me. like 'misslovechocolate' I never were such a fan of the initial 'J'Adore'. once I tried a 'J'Adore d'Or', I think it was called. i.e., bought it. but it was still too light for me. the fact that Charlize Teron again and again steps out of glitzy pools with a golden mermaid dress starts to annoy me. she is a beautiful woman but try a black woman for once ! I feel the 'J'Adore' perfume is the real pendant to Chanels 'Gabrielle', not that stupid 'Dior in Joy' or 'Joy in Dior'. I however was never afraid this perfume would rob Jean Patous 'Joy' from its place. but back to the 'J'Adore Infinissime'. already with the first whiff, I guess when it came out, I knew this was the one. I have many perfumes and suddenly yesterday, I thought, I will 'wear her'. oddly enough and to my greatest content, the first note I smelled was that of the Rose. roses are my favorite flowers but I have a huge penchant for white flowers too. I have the feeling Olivier Polge did the same with the Chanel Tubéreuses de Grasse in 'Gabrielle (Essence)' as François Démachy did, here, with the Dior Tubéreuses de Grasse in the majestic 'Infinissime'. they gave this 'Carnal Flower' a Parisian dignity, subduedness, a 'Hauteté. this was again a perfume I smelled when I opened the box and everything, the flacon, was still closed. also strange is that I like really bad white flowers with dirty undertones. they have intoxicating, bewitching features, to lure the moths of the night. but a friend on Facebook learned me that they also have pissy and sometimes even fecal undertones, to also lure flies, if the moths are dreaming. yet whatever may be the case, Chanel and Dior like their perfumes pristine and regal. (let us forget for a moment Poison, one of my favorite perfumes of all time). Miss Dior had that austere, ladylike 'air' of a Parisienne. yesterday the fullbodied perfume hovered around me and it was very pleasant. it is a rich and velvety perfume with a noticable présence but not like Poison and Giorgio (I still love them to death), yet exceptional enough to stand out just because of the superior talents of monsieur Démachy. Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose and Lily of the Valley make for a flowery perfume. the sandelwood gives the perfume a solidity, a calmness. Oh how I love these flowers.....
