L'Essence du Chagrin Hair Gloss

Recommended Posts

The Depths of Despair

White chypre, French lavender, rose geranium, opopponax, Peru balsam, bois de rose, lime, and vanilla absolute.

This smells like a masculine cologne with an extra dash of lavender. I keep thinking I am smelling oakmoss, which may well be a component of the chypre. There is a splash of lime which adds some sharpness. I do get a suggestion of rose geranium now and again, but it is barely a tease. Quite long lasting. I am enjoying huffing my braid immensely, but also going a bit mad trying to place where I smelled this before. It could very well be from a perfume counter, as this does smell like a traditional male aftershave to me. Mmmmm!

I get mainly pink rose, rose geranium and a hint of lavender. It's a soft rosey-chypre type blend. I loved the L'Essence Du Chagrin bath oil version mainly because it was a lavender chypre. This is more of a rose chypre. Medium throw and wear length.
