First of all the notes are Top: Mandarin, Bergamot, Pear Middle: Violet Petal, Lavandin, Floral bouquet Base: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla This scent opens up with a shampoo like smell and not in a positive way. It's not attractive, clean nor soapy and it's very synthetic. It's absolutely impossible to pick up the different flowers - the only thing I can say that the blend is purple but honestly I can't say how much the color of the bottle affects what I think. The blend has no realistic fruity, sweet nor powdery nuances and I have difficulties to wear it even only to write a review of it. Every time when I'm sniffing my arm, I feel unpleasant. Contrary to my usual way of testing, not once did I want to spray this so much that the scent wafted around me. So all my 3 wearings was only two sprays on my other arm only. I love all the notes which Palatine has, even if I have sometimes difficulties with Lavender. That's why it's surprising that I don't detect any of them separately. Someone could say that it's well blended, and maybe it is but the synthetic aroma ruins it totally. I have many scents with a beautiful fruity Pear note in it and unfortunately it's not here. As much as I love different kind of flowers - they are not here. I'm even TOTALLY in love with Violet atm and because of that I was waiting to get my nose into this scent but no, no, no and no. And one of the most sensual base could be created by the notes which are in Palatine, so it's hard to understand how this result is possible. I try to find always positive things, and I don't downvote anything for example in based on a house (just want to mention since some people are doing that). I'm so sorry I couldn't find anything positive now. I have a sample of Elysium Pour Femme as well and I highly recommend to try that one too if you are interested in Palatine and/or like the scent. It has a lot of same in the style which Palatine maybe tries to offer but the quality is totally different. Even that scent is not for me though. Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review. I would appreciate if you follow my IG: @ninamariah_perfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗
