*APRES L'ONDEE* a gorgeous classic

There is something vintage-esque about violets and you can’t help but want to reminisce in their presence. Fortunately, Apres L’Ondee does not allow for protracted despondent reflection as the bergamot provides a green and uplifting opening and iris asserts itself at the heart with its floral edge. The vanilla base then keeps it smooth and sweet around those edges, so if you were about to cry over a broken memory, you’ve been given the softest pillow to lay your head. Apres L’Ondee is so lovely as you will read on many blogs, and as they say, it’s just heartbreakingly gorgeous. The name means "after the rain". Apres L'Ondee is one of the most gorgeous fragrances I have ever worn. I remember when I first sniffed it, I could imagine literally walking in the morning dew and sniffing the gorgeous violets and irises blooming near my bare feet. Very few fragrances can convey the beauty of this classic. I don't have a bottle now but I intend to own another in the very near future.
