Forbidden Love

La Fleur by Livvy · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Green

La Fleur by Livvy Forbidden Love is a fragrance for women that pairs a fresh, floral and green character with a sweet, resinous and woody base. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. The number of ratings is small, so treat this as a rough guide. It is classed as a women's fragrance. The top holds orange, Egyptian white lotus absolute and lily absolute, with cypress leaf in the heart. The base brings oud, vanilla, tobacco absolute and benzoin, adding a sweet, spicy and creamy warmth; vodka, green tea and sake also sit in the base. A fruity touch softens the fresh floral opening. Its profile is close to Bortnikoff Sir Winston (Extrait de Parfum) and Armani Privé Vert Malachite.

A Parisian Affair

5.4

La Fleur by Livvy · 2013

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

La Fleur by Livvy A Parisian Affair, a women's fragrance, sets cognac, pine and lilac inside a sweet, vanilla-tinted floral. The notes read as one whole: cognac and pine give a resinous, slightly sharp footing under the champaca and lilac, while vanilla softens everything into a creamy sweetness. Floral and sweet accords lead, with spicy, animal and leathery tones sitting behind them and giving the scent a warm, somewhat dark edge. The resinous and creamy side keeps the flowers from feeling light or airy, pulling them towards something fuller and spiced. Zoologist Bee and Francesca Bianchi Cuir Soyeux have a close note and accord profile.
