Customer reviews of CARREMENT BELLE

Thank you for your feedback Patricia. As much as I gladly grant you that our "musc originel" is a resolutely confidential perfume since it was created to be discreet, as much as our eau de parfum SO is considered powerful by the great majority of the people who wear it. But that's the beauty of perfume: it reacts differently from one person to another, because our skin plays a major role! Sometimes it's unfair, sometimes it's what makes perfume magical, when the alchemy between it and our skin is perfect :) Since you like SO, you should know that it also exists in pure perfume: the smell is the same as the eau de parfum, but the pure perfume being even more concentrated, it is more intense and lasts longer on your skin and clothes... Concerning the cases of our 100ml eau de parfum, they are indeed equipped with 2 security slots that allow to block the flap. The case can be opened by hand without having to tear it, but it is indeed even easier with a flat blade. This type of system will allow us to eventually eliminate the plastic that surrounds our cases: a goal that we have set for ourselves to be ever more eco-responsible. Have a nice summer and I hope to see you soon, thanks again for your curiosity and your constructive feedback!

Thank you Odile for your feedback and your curiosity that pushes you to always discover new products in our collection! If you are disappointed that the kilim incense does not have exactly the same smell as the perfume, it's normal: the incense diffuses its fragrance by combustion, so the basic formula is adapted and the smell is necessarily slightly different. Enjoy the perfume and see you soon I hope!

Thank you Adeline for your honest feedback and especially for having the curiosity to try our fragrances! If you don't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to share your Discovery Pack with friends and family who might be able to find what they're looking for in our fragrances. Have a nice day and good luck in finding your new second skin...

Thank you for your feedback Brigitte, we are already happy that you appreciated the quality of our service. Concerning our ippi patchouli perfume, it has not changed but the explanation is surely elsewhere! With time, and the more we wear a perfume, our brain has a tendency to "fall asleep": as it gets used to a smell, we have the impression of not smelling our perfume anymore (or less). We can also have the impression that it has changed, because the brain then makes the effort to discover other ingredients and other notes of the perfume, less obvious to perceive at first. To fight against this natural phenomenon that affects us all after wearing the same perfume for a long time, we advise you to either change perfume for a few weeks/months to better find the smell of ippi patchouli (this would be an opportunity to test the sunny ippi patchouli CLAIR which is perfect for summer) or to switch to a higher concentration with the pure ippi patchouli perfume (the same smell but more concentrated and therefore more intense). Note that if you choose the second solution, you may find the same addiction concerns after a while... I hope this feedback will help you to better understand the origin of your problem and I'll see you soon!

Thank you for your feedback and especially for having the curiosity to try our Denise perfume! The staying power of a perfume can vary from one person to another because all skins are different, but if you like the smell of it, don't hesitate to perfume your clothes or your hair, on which the perfume stays longer. You might also love pure perfume: the smell is the same but pure perfume is even more concentrated than eau de parfum, so it lasts longer on your skin and/or clothes!

We're sorry that our fragrance doesn't match your taste Christine, but thank you for having the curiosity to test it! The ippi patchouli eau de parfum is quite a powerful scent indeed, containing a bit of musk in the base note to set the formula together, but it is indeed the patchouli (Indonesian patchouli essence to be precise) that is highlighted in this fragrance, especially its woody and earthy facets. The beauty of Perfume lies in the fact that we can all perceive the same fragrance differently, and perceive certain notes more than others. Maybe ippi patchouli CLAIR with its citrusy top note and its gourmand touch of praline in the base note would suit you better, don't hesitate to tell us if you have the opportunity to try it... Have a nice day and see you soon I hope!

Thank you for having the curiosity to test our iconic ippi patchouli Sylvie! Most of our clients are satisfied with the staying power of the eau de parfum, and others look for even more intensity in the pure perfume which is even more concentrated in raw materials. But from one client to another, the hold of a perfume varies because we all have different skin types. On the other hand, you can perfume your clothes or your hair for example to enjoy your favorite perfume longer... Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions and I hope to see you soon!

We are also disappointed that you did not find what you were looking for in our Marie-Aubrey fragrances. In our collection, the only gourmand fragrance with sweet and vanilla notes is our Vanilla fragrance. Like tastes and colors, a perfume is subjective and everyone will make their own opinion, but we do not give up and hope to seduce you with our future creations! If you wish to take advantage of the discount code linked to the purchase of your first Discovery Pack, don't hesitate to share it with your friends and family if you have a perfumed gift to give for example... Thank you for having been curious enough to test our fragrances and I hope to see you soon!

Hello Pierre and thank you for your feedback. Before leaving such a radical opinion, we would have appreciated if you had taken the time to test our 13 samples, not only 3... Especially since in another review you seem to be delighted with your Discovery Pack. We are the first to apologize if you didn't fall in love with these first 3 perfumes we tested and we respect your opinion about their originality: the perfume evokes different feelings for everyone. As for their staying power, it depends on several factors: each skin is different and diffuses the same perfume for more or less time. It would also be interesting to know which perfumes you have tested exactly, because if some are made to be intense and leave a trail, others are designed to be discrete and confidential. Finally, I'll grant you that the "earmuffs" that our samples are equipped with do not distribute the perfume as well as a spray bottle, which can have an effect on the duration of the perfume depending on the quantity applied. If you are a lover of intense fragrances with powerful and long-lasting scents, don't hesitate to opt for our pure perfumes, which are even more concentrated in raw materials than our eaux de parfum. Thank you again for trying our fragrances and we look forward to discussing them with other curious noses... Have a nice day!

Estamos muy contentos si nuestro perfume de ippi patchouli te ha seducido Francesc: que tengas un buen año y hasta pronto!

Thank you for your feedback Deborah. We are glad you appreciated the quality of our service but sorry that our fragrance was not what you were looking for. Perfume is fascinating because everyone interprets and feels it in a very personal way: tuberose is indeed present in our ippi patchouli fragrance but it is only a minor ingredient in its composition, as well as the sunny side mentioned which is discreet in this fragrance but much more present in its "clear" version (of which you received a sample). On the other hand, the main ingredient of this perfume is patchouli, with its earthy and woody facets, although it is quite possible that your olfactory sensitivity will perceive more other notes. As for the staying power of a perfume, it depends a lot on your skin. Yours must be greedy and drink the perfume quickly, because the ippi patchouli eau de parfum has been designed to leave a powerful trail behind your steps, during the whole day or almost. In any case, thank you again for your curiosity and your feedback, the whole team wishes you a wonderful holiday season!

We don't manage to seduce all noses and I'm sorry Marie, but thank you a thousand times for this interesting feedback, I sincerely hope you will find your happiness with our colleagues. I have just extended the duration of your discount code so that you can offer our perfumes to your loved ones at Christmas if they have been seduced by our fragrances! We'll even take care of the gift wrapping and for each order placed in December you'll receive a gift just for you to discover on our website... Happy Holidays and see you soon I hope!

We clearly state on our website that our perfumes are mixed Laurent: some fragrances are more feminine or masculine than others, but it depends a lot on the taste and olfactory culture of each person! Did you know that in the Middle East, for example, many men wear very floral fragrances, whereas flowers are considered feminine in the West? Raw materials have no gender, so why try to put perfumes in boxes? As long as you like a perfume, it is made for you, forget the codes... We hope you enjoyed the quick delivery of your order and the little touches that were included... Have a nice day!

Hello Yves, and thank you for your feedback! Some of our perfumes were designed to be resolutely confidential, but alfred kafé is nevertheless a fragrance with a very present trail. However, the staying power of a perfume also depends a lot on the skin of the person who wears it, that's why the same perfume can look so different from one skin to another! A little tip to enjoy the scent of alfred kafé longer: perfume your clothes, a scarf in winter or your hair for example! Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or other feedback... Have a nice day and see you soon!

As explained in our phone conversation today, it is very difficult to compare perfumes between them Corinne: your perception of the smell of patchouli may be quite different from others because you have your own references, and the perfumes you know do not only contain patchouli, but also other ingredients that give each perfume its own identity. Our ippi patchouli honors the earthy, woody, and resinous aspect of this ingredient in a rather raw scent, imagined in 1988 in honor of the hippie generation. If it doesn't suit you, we're very sorry, but be careful with the words you use because we can confirm that our ippi patchouli fragrance does contain patchouli: a natural patchouli from Indonesia to be precise. Maybe you will find more of the patchouli scent you like in our kilim or ippi patchouli clair fragrances, you can try them with our Discovery Pack if you are curious. It would also have been interesting to share your opinion on the quality of our service, to underline the speed of shipment of your order prepared and sent in less than an hour or the small attentions slipped into your package for example... Have a nice day anyway and see you soon!

Unfortunately, the magic doesn't happen every time, but we don't despair Valerie: we will eventually create THE perfume that will satisfy you! Thank you for your curiosity and see you soon I hope...

We are the first to be disappointed when our customers don't fall in love with our perfumes, but we have to accept it! On the other hand, we would have liked to know what you thought of the quality of our service, Joëlle: the shipping of your package only a few hours after placing your order, its reception 48 hours later, the little attentions slipped into your package... We hope you are not "disappointed" by all this too! Have a nice day and see you soon...

Hello Anne, we hope you are well and that you enjoyed the surprise gift included in your last order? You have been ordering ippi patchouli and ippi patchouli clair for years, which are perfumes designed to be powerful and to leave a trail behind your steps. Musk, on the other hand, is designed to be intimate, as indicated in the details of its notes on our site. It is a discreet perfume, for those who do not wish to leave a trail behind them. It is true that some skin types drink up perfumes faster than others, and this may be the case for you, but our many customers who have been addicted to this perfume since the late 1980s will surely not share your opinion when you say that it is "imperceptible".
However, we recommend using it in your hair or on your clothes to enjoy its scent longer than on your skin, and it's a fragrance that blends divinely with ippi patchouli (start with a few sprays of ippi patchouli, then spray musk a few seconds later). We remain available if you have any further questions and wish you a nice day!

After reading your feedback, it was an emotional lift Pascale! First of all, we are delighted to read that you like our perfumes, and as for their staying power, it's hard to say that they don't hold up: our fragrances are eaux de parfum, which means that they contain a fairly high concentration of perfume that has allowed them to seduce thousands of noses for over 30 years. On the other hand, several elements can explain this impression:
- Some fragrances are designed to be powerful and leave a trail behind you (e.g. ippi patchouli, kilim, so, vanilla, 555 or even label rose) and others are created with the intention of making intimate fragrances, for those who prefer discreet scents (musk, original musk or alõ for example).
- The other very important factor is your skin: each skin is different and will "drink" a perfume more or less quickly. If this is your case, we recommend perfuming your hair or your clothes for example, on which the perfume will last longer.
- Finally, the format of our samples, which are equipped with an ear bud and not a spray bottle, may explain this feeling. The spray bottle makes it easier to dose and distribute the fragrance on the skin, improving the staying power of the fragrance.
If you are reassured by these explanations, don't forget to take advantage of your 15€ discount code before it expires for the purchase of an eau de parfum or a pure perfume (even more concentrated than the eau de parfum, therefore more intense and powerful) on our site! We remain available if you have any other questions and wish you a nice day...

We're sorry you didn't fall in love with our Danielle "vanilla" fragrance, next time don't hesitate to start by ordering our sample box to avoid disappointment. As the name suggests, vanilla (a natural vanilla from Uganda to be precise) is the main ingredient of this rather refined fragrance, in which you will also find notes of caramel and almonds in particular, as the description of this fragrance states. Created more than 30 years ago, our loyal customers who are addicted to this perfume describe it as sweet but present and persistent, so we are rather surprised that you consider that it doesn't have a good staying power. Especially since it's a real gourmand whose sweet notes naturally promote persistence, i.e. staying power on the skin. It is true that each skin is different and will diffuse a perfume more or less, but unfortunately we can't control that. To enjoy your perfume longer, don't hesitate to perfume your hair or your clothes! Have a nice evening and we hope to see you soon for new perfumed adventures... Maxime

Good evening Saida and thank you for your feedback although we are sorry that the alchemy does not take between our ippi patchouli and your skin. We take as much care in the quality of our service as in the quality of our products, that's why we offer eaux de parfum which are already very concentrated, and pure perfumes which are even more concentrated in raw materials and therefore even more intense. We cannot let you say that our ippi patchouli eau de parfum does not hold or smell "anything at all, otherwise it would not be our iconic perfume since 1988. On the other hand, it is true that a perfume can react differently on different people, especially because some skins drink the perfume more than others. It is because it is so difficult to find HIS fragrance that it is so important once you have put your nose on it: give this new fragrance time and if your skin drinks it up too quickly perfume your hair, clothes and accessories to enjoy it differently! We sincerely hope that with time the magic will work and we wish you a nice evening!

I remember well our conversation Raphaël and I'm sorry you find SO too feminine for your taste. As explained in the chat SO is worn by both men and women among our customers, but it is true that perfume is very subjective and we don't always have the same definition of gender. Perhaps you should have ordered our Discovery Pack first, but I'm at least reassured that you seem to like the musk eau de parfum that you also ordered. Do not hesitate to mix these two fragrances which go very well together and will perhaps be more masculine to your taste once combined... Nice evening and see you soon I hope! Maxime

We are sorry to read that it was not love at first sight with ippi patchouli. I can confirm that the patchouli is indeed present, in a natural form and coming from Indonesia. If the eau de parfum is too intense for your taste, feel free to spray (in moderation) your clothes or above you for example to create a mist that will delicately perfume you. We are delighted to see that our SO incense will have seduced you with its amber scent!

We are also disappointed if you are not fully satisfied Karyne. You say that our ippi patchouli fragrance doesn't "smell like patchouli", but what do you mean by that? This fragrance features Indonesian patchouli indeed, but this ingredient is surrounded by other raw materials to give it contrast and depth as we state on the fragrance sheet. Also it would be interesting to know how you yourself describe the smell of patchouli, as we all have a different interpretation of a smell, and often we refer to fragrances in which the ingredient described was also surrounded by other ingredients. However, we are a little surprised by your comment about the "little scent" of this fragrance which is one of the most powerful in our collection. This perfume is our very first creation dating back to 1988 and since then, its followers praise its persistence (how it stays on the skin). Especially since you ordered the eau de parfum (already highly concentrated in raw materials, therefore powerful by nature) and the pure perfume (even more concentrated therefore more intense), but also the candle which contains more than 10% of perfume, which is a lot, believe us. But perhaps your skin particularly drinks the perfumes in which case we advise you to perfume your clothes or hair for example, on which the perfume will act longer. We are at least relieved that you appreciated the speed of our team to process your order and the quality of the service provided, and I hope that time will make you appreciate our iconic ippi patchouli: this is the magic of Perfume which is alive and can always surprise us! Have a nice day and see you soon... Maxime
