Trueste by Tiffany

I spent most of today in Trueste voile de parfum, which is a fragrance, not an edt or edp. This is alcohol-free, which probably explains its evanescent quality. I was struck from the first spritz by a soapiness, which doesn't really make sense, looking at the spare list of notes included in this minimalist, linear scent. I am thinking that it might be whatever solvent they used in place of alcohol. There is a foam floating on the top of the liquid, which perhaps further confirms the solvent hypothesis.

In any case, while not unpleasant, I can't say that this is a great fragrance. Seems like a department-store scent, which makes sense. Something along the lines of Ann Taylor's various forays into the fragrance world.

Trueste is a bit floral and a bit fruity, but also soapy in a laundry-detergent kind of way. This is a good example of why FRAGRANTICA needs to expand its evaluation categories to include both "neutral" and "abhor". I neither like nor dislike this fragrance. I'll give it a dislike just to convey that I won't acquire a second bottle of TRUESTE in this lifetime.

I can not love this scent but I can not hate it either. Thus far this is the only scent that I am indifferent too. It doesn't smell bad but it isn't how I want to smell. It is very strong and is a winter/fall scent. Maybe I should try it in colder weather, that might have been my problem.

I have had a few guys comment on this scent and they all seemed to like it

By the way, Trueste is the fragrance that I can imagine myself wearing in all seasons. The first time I wore it was on a wintery day, the creamy effect delivered a satisfying warmth, and that was the happiest exerience I had that day : ) In the spring/summer time, I would imagine the delicious fruity scent enhancing a spirited mood~

I am so glad with having this gorgeous Trueste in my collection.

Firstly, the notes listed above are incompleted:
Top notes: black currant, apricot, peach, Mirabelle plum;
Middle notes: tuberose, orris, Turkish rose, ylang-ylang, Indian jasmine, galbanum;
Base notes: sandalwood, cedarwood, oakmoss, Reunion Island vanilla.

I fell in love from the very first spray of Trueste - a delicious burst of fruity scent just instantly lightened up my mood and intrigued me exploring the forthcoming notes. The plum and black currant notes are pretty noticeable, with a little bit of fresh & sour peachy zest. The fruits are so well balanced, as it is not like those kind of childish and silly fruity scent, but very refined and seductive.

I really like the rather smooth 'float' of this fragrance, as it seems to me that the beautiful & lively fruit scent is 'fading' into a 'peaceful' florals as I was so reluctant to let go the fruity scent, but perhaps it was just that 'never getting enough' idea making this fragrance so enchanting. . . When I say 'a peaceful floral', I mean the flowers are not loud or overwhelming at all. It is just like the flowers blossoming quietly in a secret garden, giving off a very first fragrance in a flower's life time, with all the flowers mingling together - creamy, feminie and romantic...

After all, I would highly recommend this excellent fragrance to you all. I would say the staying power of this fragrance is very average, but as I am very used to bring my fragrance with me when I go out, so I can just spray it on and indulge myself whenever needed.
