Costes 2 Costes for women and men

Cinnamon + orange blossoms on my skin makes really soapy scent which reminds a lot unscented soap. I'm not saying that this is unpleasant and that I dislike it, I'm saying that I wouldn't wear it, I prefer taking a showe to feel "clean" and "smell like soap".

This could be a very nice scent for those ladies who try to find a clean, cosy scenz which is not going to disturb anyone around. Costes 2 would be perfectly suited for really hot summer days when something heavier would disturb self and others.

For me - a no. But not because I hate it. Just because I don't feel comfortable with too soapy scents.

Costes 2 is the most comfortable-to-wear powdery soft perfume I've tried so far.

It starts really soft, and somehow reminds me a lot of L'Artisian's many light, barely-there scent, especially Verte Violette. Even thought violet is not listed in the notes, but I can smell a lot of sunny meadowy grassy kinda violet with slight sweet powderness.

Soon it getes sweeter in a vanilla and musky way, which is really foody and lovely. Somehow it's like a much much less sweet and watered-down version of L'Artisian Havana Vanille.

After the short-lived (less than halp an hour)vanilla sweet phase, Costes2 goes linear, smells soft, powdery, with a little bit violet.

Costes 2 doesn't have big sillage, it seems to be a 'quite' powdery floral perfume, however, it actually lasts and lasts, it has been on me for 12+ hours and still smells as it was when just 2,3 hours after applying.

If L'Artisian's Verte Violette doesn't work for you, Harajuku Lover's Baby is too full-on and a little bit too on-you-face, Kenzo's Flowder just doesn't like your body chemistry, and after all when you thinking about softer powdery fragrance, you are looking for something less lound, and wraps around your body more like a sheer veil, try Costes 2!

This is the softest perfume Ive ever tried. Smells like a lightly spiced rose. I personally find this too plain, too boring, and too barely there! But i know there are others who love it.
