Intrigue Carven for women

This is my first time experience with Carven fragrances in general.

Recieved my 100ml bottle today and tested it (mine is the square 100ml spray bottle with the golden upper part and the massive lid the same as on the picture above EDT 88%alc). When i first sniffed it from the lid it smelled amazing i swear i could smell all the flowers and fruits. Then when i sprayed it on my wrists it quickly transformed into something soapy so i felt a bit dissapointed and thought i would be another EDT version of soapy "Detchema" i have in EDT version but luckily after a while the flowers and fruits were back. Very nice scent actualy, the one that will keep you calm and relaxed. Great for summer and for warmer season in general. It is so complex thet when i first sniff it the soapy note is the first thing i smell, but then all those beutiful notes come from backgound in the first place. I am really glad i have bought it and i might end up buying some more if i can find it for the same reasonable price i did my first one.
I wonder how if it would smell also that nice during autumn, just have to wait and see.
Staying power is modest but this is the perfume you want to keep for yourself, not to impress all others.
Amazing scent anyway!

UPDATE (27.08.2011): I am really loving this perfume and been using it really often. It just gives you sucha frsh and clean feeling and really calms you down on the days when you don´t want to really wear any fragrance at all. It has also since become as my "hangover" day perfume, the same as Bulgari´s "au the rouge". When i wear it i am really happy and well balanced. Definitly will buy more to last me longer time. DO try it if you like a scent with a lot of aldehydes. This is the perfect one!

I bought a small bottle of Intrigue because I generally like Carven scents. On first sniff I thought it was just a run-of-the-mill powdery floral, but today I doused myself liberally and was... well, intrigued! As the notes chart above makes clear, there is plenty of citrus in this scent. Lemony notes blend beautifully with the flowers yet don't produce a typical 'eau de cologne' effect. It's not as overwhelmingly fruity as the notes would suggest, either. It's soft, delicate and very feminine - perfect for warm weather, and probably suitable for an office environment. The downside is that Intrigue is only EDT and the lasting power is a few hours at most.

Naheed, this is a complex green chypre. It is indeed very ladylike and mature. Green chypre without being overwhelming. It keeps good balance.

Yes. I have it & love it. I need to get it again coz I'm running out though. I've had it for years. Got it on my 10th birthday.
Its a gorgeous fragrance. Lovely & mature. Not all flowery like most cheaper perfumes.
