Esencia de Duende Jesus Del Pozo for women

The perfect green fragance, fresh and relaxing, everyday fragance and lovely.

Si te gustan los perfumes frescos pero sin ser demasiado florales este es una buena opción para probar, a buen precio ademas.

I used to wear this one in summer evenings and now whenever I come back to Spain I purchase a small bottle. It really has "duende" and it´s very relaxing kind of fragrance. A delicious watery woody-floral

A lovely scent, but its lasting power is very disappointing. And unfortunately I think there is no Esencia de Duende edp…

As some of you have pointed out “duende” does mean “elf” in Spanish, and smelling grassy as it does it could seem coherent to associate Esencia de Duende to creatures of the forest, but “duende”, especially in its Andalusian sense (Alberto Morillas is from Seville, by the way), also means “magic”, or “charm”, or even “mojo” and “magic spell”. “Magical aura” is the term used in the description of the fragrance available on the EdP site, and this can be connected to its slogan, “El hechizo de una mujer”, that is, “the charm cast by a woman”, or, more ambiguously, "a woman's charm". Browsing the site, I saw that by “magical aura” Del Pozo also refers to women’s natural elegance, which he tries to enhance with his minimalist fashion designs. He claims that all women are elegant “in essence”, elegance being a natural “state of the soul” linked to their spiritual beauty. As he explained at the scent’s launch in 1996: “I don’t disguise or “adorn” women! I simply dress them in the elegance of their attitude”. So this perfume is not about the magic of elves, but the magic of natural simplicity.

For me EdD is an inoffensive fresh green floral, not as elflike and exotic as one might think from the beginning. It's enticingly crisp and naturally classy, perfect for office wear as most green scents are, but we shouldn’t underestimate its rich mossy sensuality.

I only LOVE this fragrance!
Has something in this scent that makes me fell so good and relaxed. I fell envolved...
Love love love!!!

Duende(original and this one) to me is androginous, and the more it sits on my wrist, the more it reminds me of some male sports cologne. And that's what stops me from wearing it. That said, it doesn't mean that its unplesant. Its soapy, metallic, citrucy and fresh, but alas unmemorable.
On the bright side the staying power is very good.

I got a set with mini bottles of several Jesus Del Pozo fragrances. So far, this one has the weakest lasting power of all. Yes, its a light scent but common! I don't even get 30 min out of this and I literally drenched myself in it.
Essencia is pretty much the same as original Duende. Light crisp watery floral, same category as Cool Water but a bit more feminine. I don't get coriander in this at all-its all about light watery florals. I really like it but as I mentioned, lasting power is the worst I've seen in any fragrance so far, worse than body sprays. I think for people who don't like perfume or like very light fragrances, this would be a good choice. Glad that I had a chance to try it but won't buy a full bottle of this

my favorite floral green/aquatic the only BIG complaint is that its TOO LIGHT!
pls create some elixir of this!

My boyfriend gave me this perfume for Christmas, I was really waiting to see how it would be in my skin ... This perfume doen´t last long on me, just a few hours.
notes are totally green, smell some jasmine in the background, but very watery ... I do not dislike but I would like to be more floral with more lilies ..and more durable.

Jesus del Pozo ESENCIA DE DUENDE falls into a category of fragrances which I always feel that I should like, but I never really do. They remind me invariably of the Calvin Klein asexual, super-modern jug perfumes that came out a while back, and which I never took to. The closest comparison in my own collection is probably Salvatore Ferragamo, which I basically never use. I took it out to make a side-by-side comparison, and I realized that, yes, they are olfactory neighbors.

Why do I not like these kinds of perfumes? They seem sort of fresh and clear, and not too flowery and not at all sweet, but also not too sharp, and they are not sour either. In the end, I think that it's a metro-metal edge which puts me off. They smell synthetic but not in a gross chemical soup way. They just don't smell like anything in reality to me. I have never sniffed TOMMY GIRL, but from what I've read, I'll have the same reaction to that one as well. On verra...

I gave this one to my mom years ago and is still full on the bathroom shelf, really green but I dont see it as a fresh fragreance, on me its really dry but in a plastic weird way. I thought it will suit my mom but she doesnt like it also. To earthy. The name its perfect, a duende probably would smell like this, earth, flowers, woods...
I guess I prefer to smell like a faery
:)

Yum, very nice fragrance! But as said before, unfortunately it does not last long at all. What a shame for such a nice "elflike" EDT. Hope there's also an EDP.

I definitely agree with Moszatka; Esencia de Duende is aquatic...It starts out with a beautiful green floral bouquet, and continues on to an aquatic wave...On me, it doesn't last. I have to keep reapplying. I do love the fragrance, I just wish it would stay on!

This is a fantastic perfume too! I used to dream about this perfume bottle ( actually the regular Duende). The bottle always stayed in my mind, just like Parfum de Peau and Diva, on my list of: When I am older, I will want them all!!
THANKGOD, thanks to internet all those are available now for a good price!!
Action

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the best fragance

very green and fresh, it can be suitable for summer... this one smells rather nice indeed!
Very bright and light but then... puff! It's gonne... very poor lasting power, wich is very annoying! It's one of the few fragrances that doesn't hold in my skin.
I love J.del Pozo fragrance, and this is so nice but the lasting power and even the sillage are inexistent.=(

Very fresh, ideal for spring or summer, but does not last long :(

I adore this perfume! I got Esencia De Duende at a great discount online without ever having sniffed it before. I am Impressed! It smells very crisp & green, almost leafy.....maybe it's the coriander or the lotus? Not sure. Even though I wouldn't classify this as woody, I can definately detect the cedar in it. I have to add that the bottle is so gorgeous and over-the-top.....you can tell that there was alot of thought that went into this perfume, even the packaging is abstract & beautiful right down to the box it comes in. This would be perfect for anyone of any age to wear. I can't picture anyone hating this fragrance. It's lovely.

I love it on me. Such a fresh, yet soft and warm fragrance. Would agree with the other reviewer that it's aquatic.
I could walk with the bottle in my hand all day long and spray it every 5 minutes...the problem is, it seems like I would have to. Maybe it's normal, but I cannot, as much as I want to, smell it on me, after two or three hours following application. I tried layering and it helps a bit. Also, I do not notice much of a change during the dry down. It seems like it stays the same lovely self for a brief time until it disappears ;-( Looking for EDP...

The coriander is not pronounced, it becomes light and flirty when combined with the mandarin, grapefruit and bergamot. Nothing sour about the bergomot and coriander in the same place at the same time because there is touch of sugar added to the grapefruit wich combines all the top notes well. The middle notes are lovely, but, not really noteworthy! The base is nice, the cedar and mohogany are not heavy and the sandalwood becomes a touch powdery; and with the cedar and there is a sensation of insense in the drydown. I think the perfume is bright, lightly fruity,with the slight impression of acquatic notes, also very light citrus notes; Floral Green is a good category for Essencia da Duende. I do enjoy the perfume- but I find it to be a weak strength perfume and somewhat lacking in prescence. Also, the fixation is very weak. The top notes last only 1 minute, the middle notes maybe 30 minutes, and then the dry down faintly remains for an hour or two.

I love it, it's a clear, delicious and fruity fragrance. I think it's aquatic.
