"L'Être Aimé for women is a poem to the everlasting flower, a fiery bloom filled with spices and sunshine."
Composed by Yann Vasnier, the opening of L'Être Aimé Femme is rather intriguing. Sadly, that's the best thing that can be said about it.
With a rich infusion of neroli and nectarine, there's also a prominent note that's dark and almost cherry-like. It's only after several moments one realises that the immortelle (or everlasting flower) is largely responsible for this olfactory effect. During this stage, there are also fleeting aldehydic flourishes.
However, when the estranged floral aspect is finally allowed to breathe, the underlying murky earthiness of the immortelle remains at odds with the rest of the composition. Although everlasting flower is meant to be the star note, it still comes across as too heavy-handed and oppressive, even if the woody drydown is both creamy and very pleasant.
Poorly underperforming, both in terms of projection and longevity, it's an immortelle fragrance that's somewhat unsure of itself.
