Notes:

Top: Bergamot, Neroli, Lime

Middle: Coco Essence, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang

Base: Vanilla, Myrrh, Sandalwood

Impressions: After the bright citrus opening, Elle L’Aime warms to a yummy chocolate-laced confection. The soft floral accord becomes apparent as the cocoa settles, blending beautifully with the warm vanilla. Sandalwood and myrrh round out the scent in the final drydown. Perfect for the crisp autumn weather to come. And how sweet is that gilded leaf atop the cap?! Elle L’Aime has earned a place in my Fall Fragrance Rotation.

Thank you to Martha of CMM for the bottle of Elle L’Aime.

Affordable Alternatives to the Latest Unapproachable Musks

Musc Tonkin, a limited edition parfum extrait from Parfum d’Empire which interpreted the scent of real deer musk, was sold out everywhere (at $150 for 50 ml) before I could buy a bottle unsniffed. The entire stock of Bruno Acampora’s Musc Perfume Oil was depleted at my local parfumerie. I could have ordered some over the internet, but to justify paying $185 for only 10 ml, it would have had to be the nectar of the Gods plus also offer immortality. While some see the exclusivity of a fragrance as a plus, it only makes me want to hunt down that elusive affordable alternative.
