A Book Liason In Lisbon

A light, fruity-patchouli fragrance with a dry, earthy opening and a sweet, vanilla-like drydown. The initial burst of patchouli is prominent and slightly dominant, giving it a bold, earthy character, but the scent evolves into a soft, plum- and strawberry-scented sweetie that lingers subtly and quietly. Its sillage is mostly moderate to intimate, and it fades quickly, making it better suited for personal wear rather than public attention. The fragrance bears a strong resemblance to Chloe Nomade, with comparisons often drawn to its floral-fruity rhythm, though it lacks the depth and complexity of the original. The bottle with its wooden cap adds an elegant, bohemian charm. It performs best during spring and autumn, particularly in the day, and while it’s widely praised for being affordable and accessible, it’s considered more casual and fleeting in impact. A few wearers note that it remains consistently pleasant but unremarkable, with no significant stage changes or long-term staying power.
