Alaia Paris EDP Spray 100 ml

Product Information

I can appreciate that its a finely made scent, it smells expensive and quirky in its own little way.

For those who want to try an atypical feminine leather scent, I would recommend testing it, but for my skin, it is much too acrid. It’s subtle, quiet and refined and put against all the flankers, flower bombs and in your face perfumes out in today’s market, this is a welcome change of pace. Other reviewers have said that this is an androgynous fragrance and I tend to agree, although I feel it leans more to the feminine. For this project, Azzedine Alaïa meticulously and personally controlled every detail, taking advice from a team of experts in pursuit of excellence.

On me it's more leathery, there are flowers, the powdery violet, but my skin blooms more with the dry notes of musk and leather. I wish the marzipan were stronger, but it's just the faintest whiff and more like the scent of almond milk than a concentrated dessert. Certainly, I won't wear it for my appointment with the dentist, and I always will be cautious of overdosing on it.

How perfect to have the essence of our trip in a tiny bottle :) I may well have to purchase a full bottle of this one! In terms of notes, I find a juicy berry note, very abstract florals and a musky, leathery base, but the most interesting note is the mineral one - it really does smell like cold water on hot stone. As it dries down the rose starts to come through and it becomes a bit more pleasant, but the opening is very sharp to my nose.Szekely created a body of heavy translucent black glass ‘half-way between a meteorite and a polished pebble’ adorned on both sides with the famous Alaïa laser-cut pattern – an emblematic pattern which first appeared on one of the leather corsets in the 1990s. Its powdery soft without a harsh note in it and looking at the notes I’d say the leather, violet and musk notes stand out the most. Now it's drying down to a unisex clean yet dirty musk-powder and still smells distinctly of tea in a fresh floral way. The leather is soft as an echo of suede, violets sent out the heartwarming you can't point out where, musk is a transparent light, feeling you don't belong to this world but here is a land out of the world you experience the spirits of solitude.

In spite of this, it almost strays into the unisex territory, maybe because the projection is so evasive. Super sad because I wore this religiously and it is seriously one of my all time favourite perfumes. Beaute prestige international stick with the beautiful brands you have and create better fragrances. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Interesting combination of freesia along with the leather, musk and pepper notes makes the whole composition a lot lighter and brighter than an aromatic Fougere.The musk and "mountain air" is there, but its strange, like a sweater that's been balled in a corner for a month.
