Pas Ce Soir
BDK Parfums (2016)

Purchased Pas Ce Soir blind as a gift for my daughter based upon YouTube recommendations. Not disappointed as the scent is exactly what she likes. A sweet mix of bright fruits paired with soft iris and light jasmine, yet there is a bit of warmth and depth underneath. Not a gourmand per se, but could be mistaken for a cotton candy in the early stages. The floral notes carry the heart without giving up much of the initial sweetness. IMO this is a perfect young ladies night out scent. Not a screamer but something different, noticeable and feminine.

This was my first ever niche purchase. I fell in love with how well balanced it is. To me, it’s sweet without being too sweet, woodsy without being too woodsy, fruity without being too fruity, spicey without being too spicey. I don’t know what quince smells like, but I’m guessing that it’s the bright note in here that I don’t recognize, but I can’t say whether or not it’s an accurate representation… it is however very pleasant to me. To me, this has a little bit of a carmelized sugar scent in the dry down, but it isn’t overpowering. The overall feel I get from this is a little bit of an edgy/cool girl type of scent. The longevity is pretty good for me, around 5 hrs, and the projection/sillage is low medium. I will say, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia is incredibly similar in the dry down. I’d say 95% match, but this one has slightly better performance.
