Prelude to Love
Eau de Parfum - L’Oeuvre Noire Collection
by By Kilian



The Scoop
A clean, graceful iris that opens with a dizzying rush of fresh citrus. Bergamot, orange and a particularly bright and breezy lemon mingle with green notes to give this an exuberant beginning – all youth and innocence and laughter. Then, the floral heart emerges, pierced with ginger and a pepper that tingles like the blush of a first crush. Soaring orange blossom is artfully blended with a stunning rendition of just-bloomed iris, with grace notes of earth and root that give it a soft, suede-like feel. Iris fragrances are sometimes brooding and melancholy, but this is sun drenched and dreamy, with just a hint of wistfulness. The crisp tartness of lemon never fades entirely, but nestles with the cool iris to create something lovely and unexpected. We picture yellow irises and green grass under a brilliant enamel blue sky and remember the first time a crush blossomed into real romance. How amazed we were that something so simple could become so complex in the space of a heartbeat.

A simplistic, but well made scent. I get mostly orange blossom and citrus with a noticeable accent of iris. I think what sets this apart for me is how the proportion of each note is harmonious gives off a calming vibe. The scent is soft and is great for summer and spring.

OMG! I have to laugh at the plastic tampon applicator comment. I don't get that at all, but it is funny. I wasn't overly impressed with this at first, but find it being my go-to fragrance. I'll be buying a full bottle eventually. I don't get powder at all with it, but that's the first thing a friend said when I had her smell it, so who knows...

Scented tampon applicator meets burnt sugar, with light floral notes.

This smells just like Laura Mercier Neroli-its a great fragrance but you can buy Neroli for about$75 or less on Ebay.

I had high hopes for this. It was really good and lemony at first, and amazingly not in a Lemon Pledge kind of way. But now it's gone. Left without even saying goodbye. There was a sort of vague peppery-ness right before it took off, but if that's the way it leaves, maybe I don't want it around anyway.

Hmm, I don't get citrus at all with this, maybe it's the body chemistry thing again, everybody's being different, but I don't get any citrus or the falling in love feeling. It also has a scent much like Jaqua's Pink Potion which seems to be showing up in a lot of fragrances. Seems to lose the complexity on me and that Pink Potion scent prevails. Maybe i'll have to try the sample again another day and see If I pick up anything different.
