Well, Cocoa, I think you're on to something. To me, Promesse and Baby Doll have a similar fruit-floral balance; yes, when you compare the components of the two, they're very different, but they share a lovely harmony and a very pretty freshness. What I get that's unique about Promesse is that yummy, fresh-off-the-bush blackberry smell, so rich it's almost jammy, or perhaps like a beautiful Shiraz wine. For those of us in the Pacific Northwest where blackberries grow wild and prolific down every lane and up from every ocean beach, Promesse is the smell of late summer. . .If you don't love it at first, try to get a sample from the store to take home. I know it really grew on me; the drydown reveals quite an astonishing degree of complexity and originality, at least to these nostrils. And P.S. Cocoa; I've just bought a bottle of Baby Doll to share with a friend who loves it as much as we do! |
