Park Avenue (for women)

mariotgomez

This Saturday morning, I blended Chez Bond (CB) with Park Avenue (PA). The chamomile from PA mixes beautifully with the tea accords from CB. The sparkling citrus notes from CB gives a nice lift to the paper white & vanilla notes in PA. This is a nice blend anyone can wear and great for warm weather.

This combination makes me feel like grabbing a champagne drink, sit in my garden and enjoy the sun.

This fragrance has three of my favorite notes: Iris, Chamomile and Rose. As a male, I enjoy trying to find a beautiful floral fragrance to add to my collection. There are days, I want to be floral.

Having put a small sample on the back of my hand and smelling the fragrance, I thought, this is perfect for my mother.

It is a soothing scent and elegant scent as Carla also stated.

As the sample began to mellow out on the back of my hand, the chamomile notes began to develop with hints of rose. The Iris notes (my ultimate favorite flower) disappeared or just went into hiding. For an Iris fragrance, I will stick to Infusion d'Iris by Prada (women's).

I am looking forward to sampling this again but will mix it up with Chez Bond to add citrus notes or another Bond fragrance.

This would be a nice scent for the office or a luncheon with the ladies.

A perfect scent reminiscent of the proverbial wealthy mature females and/or trust fund babies, in uptown NYC. This discreet, semi sweet bouquet of floral in the star shaped bottle is indicative of the upper eastside to a tee. This refined floral of iris and rose with the soothing tranquility of chamomile tea represents elegance in its finest form. It sends a message of old money meets new movers and shakers. The life of this scent is short and the underwhelming aroma lacks the 'oomph' I prefer in a perfume. To suit my perfume desires, I find that blending Park Avenue with some midtown energy from Bond's Saks For Her or Lexington Avenue will kick it up a couple of notches and add some youthful liveliness to it. With that in mind, it would perform to a higher level of greatness and be the star as the bottle implies. On it's own I would rate it a 2 out of 5. With custom blending a 3 nearing a 4.
