Baiser Vole Extrait de Parfum Cartier for women

Found it AMAZING. Besides lily, I smell... pink pepper, perhaps, that give that soft spicy smell?

This is perhaps as individual/ unique as a designer ( non niche) floral can get. it's not fruity or sweet like so many so called "florals"
In a sea of mainstream designer fragrances this stood out today. I tried over 20, on wrists, elbows, back of hand, as you do .... Don't you ..?? then moved to paper swatch/ cards.... You girls understand...... I hope.
Opens with a big recognisable burst of Lily and daisy. Its the authentic smell of a florist in spring.
Then it hit "actual" florist territory- because ( oddly) the dry down brings the scent of day old water you get at the bottom of a vase. Don't panic :-D
I said day old, not week old - (not rancid putrid water ) but it is worth mentioning this is what I detected. Finishes classically with a pretty soft lily, silage low, lasting moderate.
If you like quality linear florals but are looking for something 'slightly' outside the square, this may be worth a try.
Most unique 'designer' scent in department store ( non niche) I've tried in months.
I picture a young blonde in a white dress for this fine scent. Not one for me but well composed. simple.

Still I think that the best edition of Baiser Volè is edp. That's the most balanced one between deep floral edge and a certain powdery freshness. To that point Baiser Volè is in its perfection. EdT is way too weak and green and the Extrait... well, I expected to like much more than I did.
I found a tester in dept.store and of course I wanted to try it on! Mistake.
The Extrait it's an instant bomb of angry lily in your face, as if they took 3 dose of lilies in edp and made them very angry by pushing them together in a tiny space. The powder is even more loaded.
I gave it some time as I know that Parfum concentration takes time to develop. Learned this with my beloved Guerlains.
Nope. Somehow this Extrait never reaches a point of softness and nice setting, at least on my skin.
After 1 hour it was still banging on my head as if it was screaming: Hey!!!! I'm here on your arm, did you notice? Hey hey!
I don't know, maybe I was already in a bad mood that day, there was people pushing in the allies, too much noise... I ended up with big headache and perfume I didn't like on my arm. Longlasting.

I happened upon this perfume by accident in a store and was surprised by how much I loved it. It's so light and soft, but lasts a long time. The bottle is also very nice with the gold lid flipping open sideways. If you are usually overwhelmed by flowery scents, you might like Baiser Vole Extrait.

Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I think it smells quite similar to Crabtree & Evelyn's discontinued Carnation. It's got the light spicy floral thing going.

It's fantastic. Sweet and tender but also has a huge personality. Smells like teen spirit
