Advantages: It's beautiful
Disadvantages: The packaging may be naff to some trendy bints!
I cant believe I've actually had to request this to be added to Dooyoo's large database of products and that no one before me has written about this quiet unsung hero of fragrance's!
I'm of course talking about Cote L'aimant!
I have been using this since I was 18 years old, after getting my first job it was my first perfume I Chose to wear. Oddly enough, my Nan used it and so did my geriatric next door neighbour. I don't know what made me ever think of it as 'me' but I did lol
However it really is a firm favourite of mine! I own the whole range of products and couldn't be without them.
The Packaging....
Indisputably really old fashioned, I mean it has been around since 1927! However I love old fashioned fragrances and make up. Actually i should be PC about it and call them classics eh lol
Mine is a 50ml bottle. Came in a Rose pink box with a white front label on it telling us who it's by and what it is. The bottle is glass and a shape I cant actually describe, a kind of square? lol In pink writing on the bottle, small letters telling us once again it is Cote L'aimant.The perfume inside is a light yellow colour. All the packaging for L'Aimant products is pink and also in the range that I know of is dusting powder, talc, soap, body lotion, bath foam, roll on deodorant, spray deodorant and body spray and the perfume cream is in a small black bottle and is very concentrated and is a thick pink liquid and also spraying mist.
What I'm reviewing the Eau De Toilette. I like the packaging personally as it really is quaint but it wouldn't jump off the shelf screaming buy me to someone looking to make an unusual first time purchase!
What the Product Say's About Itself....
L'aimant, by the design house of Coty, means 'the magnet' in French. Elegant, luxurious and sophisticated blend of rich florals. L'aimant is recommended for romantic wear.
The Fragrance....
Bergamot, Neroli, Peach, Strawberry, Jasmine, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla, Vetiver and Sandlewood.
My Opinion....
Well as I touched on earlier in my review it really is a firm favourite of mine! Its Beautiful. Smooth, Rich, Intense and above all in this day and age UNIQUE! I don't know anyone but me and a couple of old dears that use this lol
My first bf almost put me off it by telling me I smelled like his Nan. I was very happy to find out she wasn't an smelly old codger (I was really worried) lol
Time has untouched this fragrance. It hasn't gone through lots of transformations on packaging and been messed with over the years. It was already perfect as it was and is!
The smell of all the ingredients I mentioned are really well blended so I cant say well it's mainly Rose or anything else. Its sweet, though not sickly so. Its very floral but not a yuk disgusting kinda sniff. Its just warm and I think incredibly sexy.
It lasts on the skin absolutely ages! You don't need loads and the lovely thing about this is if you want to 'layer' the fragrance you still don't smell 'overpowering' If you've been snuggled up with a man the smell will linger on him even when your long gone. If you walk into a room and then leave you will leave your scent behind. As a a smoker I do worry bout the smell of fags on me but this really is an excellent cover up job!. It just smells really clean and fresh and even though it has so much depth still manages to stay light and airy.
Incredibly feminine and womanly it's sophisticated (well it is French) and very sexy. I wear it mainly for going out in the evenings and I use the whole range for a touch of yummy luxury or for day time I will wear just perfume and body spray and deodorant.
Do have a sniff! Its not on the perfume counters as it is a cheaper brand, its usually stocked in Boots and Superdrug but on the shelves.
