Sublime Balkiss (for women)

I agree with Mellybee, this does not have the standard characteristics of a chypre floral, and yes, thankfully, the patchouli does not overwhelm. This is a refreshing, sparkling fragrance well-suited to summer days and spending time in the sun. The middle notes of lilac, lily of the valley and leaves are a joyous combination with the berry notes. making this a sweet, soft scent and one that seems to last all day without overwhelming you or those around you.

I have to admit that I'm dying for chypre perfumes so it was an absolutely must-try for me. Especially as The Different Company describes Sublime Balkiss as a chypre, but a modern chypre, which uses two types of patchouli instead of oakmoss.

Those who, like me, might be scared by the patchouli in the description of Sublime Balkiss, fear not; the accord is very soft.
I am also unable to smell the leather here.

So, what one really get? I'm pretty sure that it opens on a sweet elderflower note even though it is not mentioned amongst the notes. The elderflower is combined with soft creamy flowers.

Although Sublime Balkiss is classified as a chypre I think of it as an aquatic floral - it took me quite a while to figure it out -, it permanently makes me think of a summer day near the sea lounging in the sun, sipping icecold teas and doing nothing…

However, for either category I find it light as opposed to heavy and very easy to wear, it works beautifully as a spring or summer-time fragrance.

A fragrance I hope never be without.

Perfect summer fragrance. Fresh and elegant. The best citrus-lime parfum i've ever known. I want it!
