The love for Apres L'Ondee in the perfume world is pretty universal - I could have linked snippets below for pages.  The beauty of this fragrance is how accessible it is. You may have never written a perfume review or tried to describe a fragrance before, but smelling this will have you get IT - the bone-deep response to smell that is in all of us. It will make you feel some type of way. I promise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes of Anise, Cassis; Violet, Powdery Notes, Carnation; Iris and Vanille. \u003cspan\u003e.

If you're fortunate enough to try the extrait - very, very fortunate - then definitely do so, but if not, like most of us, the EdT offers the lesson in impeccable form. \"After the Rain Shower\" has this beautiful tactile effect of smelling wet. Place a couple sprays on your skin, dive right in with your nose, and smell what can only be described as a wet flowerbed after a rain shower...Masterfully executed blending of high-quality materials evoking violets, carnations, and cassis are responsible for this effect. Nestled on a bed of silky-smooth iris and very, very gentle and dry vanilla,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing...it’s a fragrance that you *feel* and *experience*. There is a certain touch of melancholy that seems to accompany it but that doesn’t detract from its beauty. Thank goodness Guerlain still makes this stuff but perhaps I should get a few bottles just in case, eh? This deserves to be hoarded. A masterpiece of perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - By other perfumes I admired how they can be uplifting and enchanting. Now Aprés L'Ondée's effect is the other way: it helps me be grounded, earth connected, reconcile with the circle of life and death. It is a meditative scent. A pure breath in a bouquet of violets, irises and woods. It is with you the whole day long, though it is an eau de toilette. A masterpiece of mindfulness in a parfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Après l'Ondée is the olfactory equivalent of an impressionist masterpiece. It's like an image of a beautiful place that you've seen in a dream. The style is much like a painting, with each of its elements or notes contributing to its overall impression. It is of course delicate and powdery due to the abundance of powdery florals (heliotrope, iris, mimosa, orris root, and violet) but has a freshness (anise, bergamot) and and slight spiciness (carnation) that adds a brightness alongside its melancholy.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boisdejasmin.com\/2005\/05\/aprs_londe.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBois de Jasmin\u003c\/a\u003e - \"The aura of this fragrance is effervescent, innocent and joyous. But there is a dark timbre to Apres l'Ondee as well. It is similar to the moment after the rain is over; the sun is shining, yet the clouds still cast somber shadows upon the landscape. The heart blossoms with iris and violet, which much to my delight, is a departure from the traditionally sweet candy-like violet notes. The carnation is subdued and merely adds a spicy ornament. The dry down is smooth and tender, with the sugared almond, vanilla and musk lending it an abstract gourmand sensation. Apres l'Ondee is a garden in the first flush of bloom, yet to reveal all of its secrets.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/themuseinwoodenshoes.com\/perfume-review-guerlain-apres-londee\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMuse in Wooden Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e - \"Created by Jacques Guerlain in 1906, it is the softest and most wistful scent I have ever smelled. Contemporary with the Impressionist movements in painting and in music, it is a perfect expression of the soft-focus dreaminess of both Monet and Debussy, an indistinct swirl of violet and heliotrope gauzy as a silk chiffon scarf.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/olfactoriastravels.com\/2011\/02\/15\/review-guerlain-apres-londee\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Olfactoria's Travels\u003c\/a\u003e - \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI need to be in the right mood for \u003cem\u003eApres L'Ondee.  \u003c\/em\u003eNot too cynical, or I get overwhelmed by its loveliness.
