Printemps
Ajne

The opening note's gardenia is delicious: bright, natural and clear; a beautiful note that is not really sweet. It is lighter and brighter than Robert Piguet's namesake and purer than Creed'd Fleurs de Gardénia. In the drydown a woodsy undercurrent is noticeable.

Later in a slightly salty and fresh wood impression arises, like wood stranded on the beach in the sun. He performance is very good, with moderate sillage, decent projection and eleven hours of longevity.

Overall a spring scent indeed, made of top-quality natural ingredients and beautifully blended. Very nice. 3.25/5

My good people: drag your behinds to Ajne's website and purchase some samples PLEASE. These scents are serious business. Printemps is wow, wow, WOW. 3 hours after application and I cannot stop sniffing my wrist. No, not April in Paris. That would be too predictable. This is quite unpredictable. If their sample cards that I got in the mail are correct, the scent works with my body chemistry and balances my heart chakra. I don't know a darn thing about chemistry and chakras, but if this scent is supposed to make me euphoric, then it HAS done its job.I do have a great bias for gardenia, any day in any way. So how magnificent for me when this opens up that way. Yes it's true it is similar to Fleur Blanche in this way but while Fleur Blanche has more "stem," Printemps has more wood and honey. For me this scent is tropical almost all throughout the beginning, but mid-way something else takes over, and I can't help but imagine purple and orange-yellow flowers starting to "sleep" at dusk. Then there is a slight cashmere-musk like scent. Now I sense toast or smoke, but also a balm like aloe vera at the same time. Bottom line: amazing. Again, browse thru the site. Ajne also has these amazing bottles that have to seen to be believed.

Printemps meaning springtime . An exquisite smooth floral with top notes of gardenia- the opening is very similar to Fleur Blanche . Fairly tenacious ,my second fave after Fleur Blanche.
