Customer reviews of CARREMENT BELLE

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!

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 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
