And don't get me wrong, I still adore it, but either my nose is too used to it or the longevity of it has really faded in the last couple years.

Once it's been dried down for a few hours, it smells a bit like Anna Sui's butterfly perfume in the link bottle.Eclat d’Arpège’s first accords are green lilac and Sicilian lemon leaves which transports us to the first day of spring. Yesterday I did a side by side test of my new-ish bottle and an old mini that has been in my drawer for ages, and they do smell quite different. I'm surprised Bright Crystal/Bright Crystal Absolu are not in the "reminds me of" section because they are definitely similar, especially in the dry down. It is such a delicate blend where the different flowers dance together for you as floral scents enter your nose when you sit in a garden closing your eyes and let a warm breeze blow the different scents your way blending perfectly in the air before they hit your nostrils.

On my wrists I could still smell it after two days and on clothes, I can still smell it after a week. I had sky high expectations and I opened the bottle with trembling hands, and when I inhaled this scent I knew it crystal clear, This Is The One!

Composed of peony, peach blossom, tea leaf, green lilac, amber, musk, Chinese osmanthus, petit grain, wisteria, and cedar.
