Avenue Montaigne Brecourt for women

oooh love this. This is a gorgeous dark dewberry scent.
It smells like very sophisticated berries shrouded in patchouli and some sort of french elegance.
I have a few of the Brecourt samples but this is the first one I'm trying.

This has a good throw, I've literally already had a compliment on it and it's only 9.14am. This is a good sign.

It smells very refined and is a lovely Chypre, a slight incensey feel comes through also. This is lovely!! I want a bottle.

This is yum, like a gourmand fruity milkshake. I hate grapefruit and luckily I can't even smell it here. All the notes are really well blended to me, I do not think that raspbery stands out above all the other notes, i can smell freesia, dewberry, the florals, the peach, everything all at the same time. It does remind somewhat of Hot Couture, and it's lovely.

The opening has a bit of nail polish to it, but that doesn't persist. This is a nice, warm berry chypre, luxurious without ever getting "in-your-face" or matronly.

Dominant raspberries aren't my cup of tea, but I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys them in a grownup scent. If you like Hot Couture but find it overpowering, try Avenue Montaigne.
