Review of Promise Me by aad de gids

this is a wonderfully rich smelling perfume which I now just blind bought without a tester next to it. but it was a 'steal'. and online I immediately bought the Promise Me Intense with another Note-Build-Up. but already this perfume immediately won me over at home. I think the bottle is lovely over the top and its tackiness is less urgent when you have the 3oz90mL. (then the Bottle is more Oblong and the Gold-tone embellishments seem more refined.) then this Design has more allure. it was sheer luck Rose is the top note. I do not (yet) understand where its' rich, striataed, undulating character comes from with so less notes. Sicilian Mandarin, Rose, White Heliotrope, Patchouli and that is it. I guess the blending techniques, the rich aromatics of the Rose, Heliotrope and Patchouli can show much faces. at least I loved it at first sniff. I have a penchant for the perfumes of Luxe Jewelery Houses. I love them all. (well, not all.) the Classic Mauboussin has always been in my Collection. here we have a same kind of Elegance, Ladylike Detachement, Allure and one of a kind Effervescence. the Rose & Patchouli combo is a Classic.
