zankoku_zen Report post Posted November 6, 2018 La Toussaint is a scent for All Saints' Day: falling leaves, crushed maple, bouquets of bright chrysanthemum, frankincense, white chamomile, and pale, dry wood bark. Un parfum pour la Toussaint: feuilles tombantes, érable broyé, bouquets de chrysanthèmes brillants, d'encens, de camomille blanche et d'écorce de bois claire et sèche. La Touissant has an intense green edge to it - I think its the leaf and maple. I get a bit of mum, chamomile and frankincense. It's greener than I thought, and leafier, but again, very autumn-esque. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bheansidhe Report post Posted February 6 (edited) Between the sappy, realistic chrysanthemum and the dead leaves note, this has a very La Offrenda vibe. It's bright, light, and crisp, like a dry champagne (no, it does not have alcohol notes). The maple is syrupy and sappy, but not gourmand, perhaps because it's so well balanced by the herbal chamomile and the light woods notes. Frankincense twines through the other components, lending a gooey resinous warmth. It dries to a light, unisex fougere overlaid with a powdery, woodsy sweetness. As someone who can't wear Samhain, I'm pleased to have this blend to fill the Samhain-shaped hole in my perfume collection.
