Customer reviews of CARREMENT BELLE

Hello Patricia and thank you for your kind words! We're sorry about the 2 samples delivered "broken", certainly due to a shock suffered by your package during transport. We have taken note of this incident and we will include these 2 samples again in your next order if it suits you. Have a nice day and enjoy your perfume! Maxime

It's always a good idea to share your feelings Valérie, but we're very surprised because we can guarantee that your fragrance hasn't changed! You've known us all these years: we're very transparent about the way we work, and we would have informed you if we'd changed the formula of our fragrance. If you compare the bottle you ordered a few days ago with the last bottle you ordered on our site almost 2 years ago, it's normal to notice a difference, as the fragrance it contained had naturally evolved between the time you started it and the time you finished it. Your new bottle, freshly produced, allows you to rediscover the initial scent of your perfume, which will evolve over the coming months/years and become more intense, often sweeter, with time.
Note that our brains sometimes play tricks on us and can influence the perception we have of a fragrance, even when we think we know it by heart:
- Over time, and the longer we wear a fragrance, our brain tends to "fall asleep": as it becomes accustomed to a scent, we have the impression of no longer (or less) smelling our perfume. We may also have the impression that it has changed, as the brain may also discover other ingredients and new facets of the fragrance, less obvious to perceive at first.
- Some fragrances can also change color: in contact with air, light and temperature variations, the juice naturally oxidizes (more information here). The conditions under which a fragrance is stored in a bottle can therefore accelerate its "aging". Its scent won't change radically, but it will become more intense and mellower. For example, the freshly produced juice of our SO eau de parfum is translucent with a slight green tinge, but it will become darker and darker, until it is dark brown after a few months or years!
- Finally, we need to take into account the context in which we evolve: a change in skincare/beauty products, a hormonal evolution or the contraction of a virus (COVID or other) can explain a new perception of one's perfume for sometimes several months.
I hope you now have a better understanding of this feeling of change, and I'll be happy to answer any further questions you may have! Have a nice day and see you soon...

Thank you Youssef for your curiosity about our fragrances, and for your patience with La Poste's delay in delivering your Discovery Pack: it was indeed a busy period, and they're usually very efficient, so we shouldn't hold it against them. In any case, it was a pleasure to talk to you, and we hope that you'll find what you're looking for among our fragrances... See you soon!
