I've been trying to find the magic in some perfumes for over 20 years. Have had radical changes of heart enough times to know it's worth it to go on trying, but God knows I've spent a small fortune purchasing and repurchasing samples and decants of every formulation and vintage of some classic scents. <br />I can't remember how long it took me to fall for L'Eau d'Hiver, but it was at least a few years. It's one of my favorite comfort scents now. I didn't realize Jean-Claude Ellena also created Blanc. I know I have a sample of it somewhere, but have never got a bottle. Must go find that sample.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-39773251906714133602014-01-28T12:59:12.926-05:002014-01-28T12:59:12.926-05:00I absolutely love L'Eau d'Hiver. I am not...I absolutely love L'Eau d'Hiver. I am not fond at all of soft perfumes but its whiteness and delicacy won me over at first sniff. It does create that silent, contemplative, yet happy atmosphere of a snowy day and I feel like I am born again. Now I need to try Blanc by Paul&Joe :)wefadetograyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405480340863988032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-91737907444565594472014-01-28T12:48:56.211-05:002014-01-28T12:48:56.211-05:00This was one I loved from the first, though I know...This was one I loved from the first, though I know that's not the case for everyone. I must have the right skin chemistry for it because I find L'Eau d'Hiver shifts and evolves like a fairytale on my skin. I get a strong refreshing green scent (I picture a dark-green stalk growing out of an ice-covered stream) paralleling a clear caramel note, and the dance between those two is ongoing and lovely. I adore that it's simultaneously cold and warm; it works in all weather for me. I don't wear it that often for some reason but when I do I invariably feel good. Thanks for reviewing this special scent.SoSuSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890365691156994507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-31028280812711225312014-01-28T09:08:23.049-05:002014-01-28T09:08:23.049-05:00L'Eau d'Hiver took a while to grow on me, ...L'Eau d'Hiver took a while to grow on me, too.
