I would love more details on this! It's supposedly launching on my birthday so very keen to get it as my second LV perfume :smile:

It's a spicy, citrus masculine. It's pretty good. I don't know if it's worth a full bottle for me, but I do like it. It's similar to Afternoon Swim and Cactus Garden, particularly Cactus Garden.

Top notes are Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian Orange and Citron; middle notes are Tunisian Neroli, Nigerian Ginger and Ceylon Cinnamon; base notes are Chinese Black Tea, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood and Olibanum.

Have you received your sample of OTB? What do you think of it compared to California Dream? I have samples of both and I was so sure I wanted to get a full bottle of CD next, but now I like OTB too and can’t decide. :lol:

Finally some new samples arrived so I can keep trialling. In the meantime, my fragrance fund has grown by selling off a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore.

I was really captivated by On The Beach at the LV store and sprayed a card which continued to impress, but unfortunately I'm not sure that I like it on me now that I have the sample to play around with. The initial burst is wonderful but it starts to smell like Pez candy. I'll try again another day.

Today, I'm wearing Nouveau Monde and as the write-up suggested on the LV site, it's strong on Oud and Patchouli lol It's a nice combo though and it's sitting nicely on me.

I sprayed some California Dream and Mille Feux on paper and they are both lovely. I'll wear them this week and see how they settle on my skin.

After that, there's Sun Song, Afternoon Swim and Au Hasard to try, then I make a decision on which full bottle to buy. So far the frontrunner is Cactus Garden.

I liked it more than Meteore and actually purchased the travel spray for Imagination (also this helps me get more LV fragrances at lower cost via the travel refills, haha).

Just realised also that Pur Oud is available in my market as well (Singapore) - but given the insane price tag it's not within consideration heh.

No, my store never has samples in stock *sigh. I’ve been rocking CD for a few social outings and still love it, especially how the scent softens and fuses on my skin. It’s really dreamy to smell throughout the day. Would love to hear what you decide to get Evey :smile:

New update :D So unfortunately On The Beach is off the list. It just doesn't work on my skin. California Dream however is just lovely. I can see myself enjoying a full bottle of it. I've still got a thing for Cactus Garden but my SA said he'd go CD over CG and my daughter agrees.

During the week I tried Mille Feux on me and it's gorgeous initially but eventually smells like a less aggressive Nouveau Monde.

On a whim, I decided to step out tonight with Afternoon Swim and I think I'm in love... Definitely a contender. It's the sort of fragrance I'd enjoy going to bed with. I tried Au Hasard this morning before going out training and I can't say I can even recall whether I liked it or not. It wasn't unpleasant but not memorable.

Sun Song tomorrow!

I got OTB, but now I think I should have gotten CD! As you wrote, it’s dreamy to smell :)
Maybe I will still get it for our vacation.

I recently nabbed 3 samples: sables roses, contre moi and another couer battant.
- contre moi starts off Smokey (like a cigar) but then wears sweet.
- sables definitely smells like roses but I don’t think I would purchase a full bottle
- still loving couer battant but noticed it wears off within an hour or two…maybe it’s the sample size…

Attrape Reve smells a lot like Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle mixed with the sweetness of Lancome's La Vie Est Belle. Both are very popular fragrances so hopefully that gives you an idea of what it smells like.

This was my first impression of this fragrance as well. I requested samples via concierge with my most recent order and this was one of them. Hoping to get a full bottle next week when I visit a store.

My favorite LV fragrances are Le jour se leve and Mille feux. I think for a minimalist perfume collection they are the two perfect scents. One for Spring/Summer and one for Autumn/Winter/going out :smile: .

I also heard that LV will be launching 5 new perfumes sometime soon with some fancy new design bottles. They will probably more expensive because of the new design, I can imagine. :cool:

Could you share how much are the refills in Singapore? I am contemplating on getting a full bottle, but travel sizes sounds much more wallet friendly if they can be refilled.
