Mauboussin Pour Elle Mauboussin for women

Looking at the notes, and the other reviews, I expected this to be a warmer, more balanced scent on me. Instead, I found the fragrance to be predominantly tart and very floral, due to the red berries, rhubarb (which I normally love) and the manifestation of an abundance of gardenia on my skin.

I did not detect any caramel or amber in the dry-down, but the sandalwood, which took a long time to reveal itself, added a warmer and creamier effect to the gardenia note.

Overall, it feels light and elegant, but it clearly isn't at its best on my skin, where I am not getting most of the lovely basenotes!

UPDATE: I judged this fragrance too quickly! Normally, with other fragrances, the basenotes emerge within 15 minutes on my skin...with THIS fragrance, it took over an hour for the sandalwood to establish itself, and a full TWO HOURS for the basenotes to really take hold.

When it fully dried down, the base was a warm and slightly sweet oriental delight! The caramel and amber provide richness and depth to the sandalwood, and here it reminded me of another old favorite of mine: Carolina Herrera - 212 Sexy.

Very rich and quality juice with great lasting power and sillage.
The most prominent notes are amber, sandalwood and orange blossom.
The caramel note emerges only at the end of the dry down stage.
Pour Elle by Maboussin is a strange juice; on one hand I was ever so annoyed to learn that there is nothing fruity about it, on the other - I was mesmerised by the beauty of a deep and rich amber note that made me feel like the most elegant woman in the world.
It was a blind buy of mine triggered by reading about the two of my favourite noses behind that beauty.
All in all it was a brilliant blind buy.
I am so wearing Pour Elle by Mauboussin tomorrow - it is chilly and gloomy outside and it is the perfect season for wearing Pour Elle.
To me - it scores 10/10.

Luxury and long-lasting perfume, which was also veeery sexy to my man! I sprayed it on a cold winter evening and it get along with my skin. I can't match it with some other perfume, this is something new to me. Very classy. I think I want it. ;)

thanks to dear NathalieZ for letting me smell this nice perfume,as I couldn't find it where I live.
this perfume starts really fresh and then quickly becomes sweet as the caramel developes.in fact when I sprayed it I thought I detect the prominent pear note,as it was both fruity and sweet.it smells a lot like burberry Brit to me.the difference is that here there is no Lime note and less soapy smelling.
Mauboussin is a chic elegant perfume for everyday use.the long lasting power is acceptable,but the sillage is a bit low,that makes it better for office use.

My personal experience is similar to the announcement and the story of loyalty. The bottle with a massive ring on the cap is very stylish, and the whole design was made with a lot of attention to details and the desire to offer the luxury that pleases women and promises her love in the long run. The fragrant composition brings fine layers of elegance, confidence, sophistication and a strong personality.

Top notes are fine red fruit juices mixed with the crisp notes of rhubarb, leaving an impression of gentleness, refinement, fine taste and sophistication. The heart is performing with floral nuances, heated and slightly sweetened by caramel, leaving barely audible gourmand echo.

Different shades of floral accords give very specific story, warm and heated on the skin, simultaneously coupled with cooling head notes that elegantly shape the floral spectrum. Base notes caress the skin and excite with distinctive accords of patchouli.

The fragrance is truly long lasting, it really remains around you. This perfume definitely provides two octaves, giving rich warm flowers and refreshing chic elements.

If I could choose any of the new releases that await us in the future, I would choose Mauboussin and gladly accept the ring of loyalty that I’m offered!
