Comment: Eau de Parfum review
"A great perfume is a work of art that arouses emotions, a masterpiece that inspires you."
~ Yvon Mouchel
Divine, is a small independent fragrance house, owned by Yvon Mouchel and located in Brittany, France. Divine was this house's debut release and is the only Divine creation composed by Yvon to date.
Divine is an old-fashioned and sophisticated white floral affair. Opening with a fleeting peach accent, the orange blossom perfectly sets the scene for the other emerging florals. With a soapy and slightly powdery disposition, the composition rests on a creamy woody base of vanilla, oakmoss, sandalwood and musk.
While it's not as feminine as originally expected, it's not too sweet either. Initially roaring before quickly purring on the skin, it possesses a warm aura throughout. Personally, one would have preferred it not taking the soapy, almost floral detergent, route towards the end of its development but it's still well-blended.
One can't be entirely sure how true the current version is to the original formulation, but it's definitely one of the better feminine releases from this house. It also persists on the skin for an impressive length of time.
