Today I wanted to review the
Honoré des Prés by
Olivia Giacobetti new brand, 100% natural and Ecocert. A perfumer that I admire for the delicate lightness of her style (Yunx perfumes were great and their personal care products had even better fragrances). If Ellena is minimalist and his perfumes are called by himself "exercices de style", what Giacobetti does is the extreme of that. The entire range is so ephemeral and light that I am not able to follow or smell the perfume, except for the head notes. I'm not able to review anything and I can only tell that there is a vetiver-gaiac, an almond, a neroli-petitgrain perfume and not a single drop of floral absolutes (not allowed by EcoCert because obtained with solvents). A microscopic "excercice de style" in the light, but are they fragrances? (Bonté's Bloom is still the one I like and that smells on my skin after 1 hour!).
